Guest guest Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Hello, I am a nurse and a moderator of this board. I would like to take this chance to thank all the nurses out there, my colleagues and others, for their dedication to the profession in honour of Nurses' Week (ok it was last week). It goes without saying that there are good nurses and bad nurses just as there are good lawyers, bad lawyers, good mechanics, bad mechanics. No certified nurse would use an 18 guage needle to inject subcutaneously. They would have to use it like a dart gun if they were going to do so. Let's face it. Injections hurt. Not all the time but they do involve sticking a foreign object and a foreign substance into a space that is not really designed for this. The pain is generally short lived. I think we should all be pleased to bits that we have access to this medication in the first place and focus on all the great things it allows us to do. There are many, many people out there who would give their right arm for access to the care we have so I think we need to put things into a bit of perspective. As things go, we generally are all very lucky. __________________________________________________________________ Make your browsing faster, safer, and easier with the new Internet Explorer® 8.
