At long last, practicing with needles

Today in skills lab we practiced assembling syringes and drawing up subcutaneous, intramuscular, and intradermal medications for injection. The "meds" were fake, but the needles were real.

Syringes and fake meds

After spring break, we'll practice actually injecting meds into the mannequins, which are quite creepy.
