A Time to Practice Nursing Skills.

Injections.

Wound Cleaning.

Removing Sutures/Staples.

Crushing Pills.

Catheters.

Let's back up to that last one...catheters...on plastic mannequins with removable parts.

One word: Interesting.

But don't worry! We have lots of practice! This last week, we even got to take our work home with us. With catheter pass-off's just around the corner, the teacher's thought it would be a good idea if we were able to practice this particular skill as often as we like, in the comfort of our home.

the tomato was chosen.

And so it began....
