We just learned about landmarking and practiced sticking needles into grapefruit and oranges. My teacher mentioned that at some point in our career, we will give an immunization and accidentally hit the persons bone. That thought scares me!! I'm gonna be so nervous doing an actual immunization for the first time, lol. Have any of you had the chance to give a shot yet?

I am in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan attending Bay De Noc Community College.

I'm really sorry to hear about your financial situation. Do you get any financial aid? Otherwise I'm in the same boat as you with paying for school, lol. I hardly have free time either, which sucks because I definitely need it!

That does sound really rough! I'm glad you're getting through it though. Not just anyone can handle this kind of program it is super overwhelming! But just think of the outcome of it. It will be so worth it! I'm glad you are feeling better now that you had your first clinical day!

Haha, I know what you mean. I also hate having to second guess myself on test questions!

Thank you. :) I am nervous but I know I will get through it when the time comes. Your advice helps greatly!

Haha, so I've heard! I have only done it on mannequins so far, I'm going to be doing them on actual patients around January or so.

I've only been in my PN program for a month now, but the most difficult thing for me so far would be pharmacology! What's the most difficult thing you have done so far in your nursing program?
