I gave my first injection!

Today, in Primary Health Care, I learned how to do a Physical exam, dental care, put on gloves in a sterile fashion, give injections, and do a catheterization. My partner was an experienced nurse, taking the class to learn about how to handle medical situations in the non-western world. She was really great and gave me extra pointers on how to do the injections. We practiced on one another with saline. She said I did really well. So for the first time, I gave an injection, but not just one, 3! 3 different kinds!
Tomorrow, I get to sleep in. But Monday, we get to engage in more fun!
