Nursing school...injections 101...the mannequin didn't complain!

I got to do something nursish (is that a word? The adjectival form of nurse?) today. Learn to give an intramuscular injection. Drew it up in a syringe, and injected it into the arm and butt of a mannequin. Turns out if you don't know what you are doing you can cause nerve damage if you accidently hit the sciatic nerve when giving an IM injection in the backside. Who knew! Good thing I'm paying attention. Everyone's sciatic nerve is absolutely safe under my syringe. I'm sticking with the arm!!!!!
