Lakers Game


Tuesday night I was at the hospital for clinical. I had the best nurse to follow and my nurse from last week was there again. My nurse had no shots for her patients but my nurse from last week had some and she knew I had never given one, so she asked me if I wanted to do them for her. OF COURSE!! I was so nervous as I was waiting to give them. Finally it was time...insulin first...ummm obviously no big deal, just press a button. Then it was time to put a real needle in (ok it was soo small but still...) so I went to put it in the stomach, but I didn't have enough force so it just stopped once it hit her skin. haha. Then I pulled the needle back further and jammed it in. It still had a hard time getting in. haha. I need some practice. I am just happy that I gave my first shot to a REAL patient! As for our lives, I am just trying to get through my horrible classes this semester(Nursing school is hard), and Michael is watching the Lakers game and saw Khloe Kardashian at the Magic Fashion Conference in Vegas yesterday. He was sad Lamar wasn't with her.

I love your stories bc it reminds me of when I gave my first shots! Ahhh. Those were nerve racking. I promise that it will soon be second nature to give them. Love that you can be a nurse with me!
