School Confessional (ahem, Progress Report)

ME: Too bad my girlfriend won't let me practice on her.  A lemon just isn't the same.

CK: My husband won't let me either.

ME: Did I tell you that I accidentally stuck myself practicing IV lines at home?  It's those twisty tops!

CK: Me too!  I was changing a filter needle.  But mine was right before skills testing.  I had to go hide in the bathroom 'til the bleeding stopped.

ME: My girlfriend told me the trick is to "twist, don't pull."  Should I be jealous that our classmate LT  has a diabetic cat?

CK (shaking head): Nursing students.

Gave my first shots this week! To an actual patient (not the girlfriend, or anyone's cat)!
