Skills....do u remember them all?

[luv4nursing]

Its sad to say I only graduated LPN school a year ago, but due to not using most of my skills in the setting I work in (peds home care), I have forgotten many simple things....like how to give IM's, how to draw up various meds (like which ones do u push air in the vial before drawing up)?, drawing up insulin (mixing diff ones), procedures like caths, etc.....

I feel so out of the loop...

Will this all come back to me easily when I start the bridge program in January?

Any manual skill is learnt and remembered by doing it. You should be just fine once you get in there and do those things again!
