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)!
