pains and needles

ouch! that hurts! that's my hand.

Nurses are connected to injections.. needles inshort. haha! recently finished my three day Intravenous Therapy Training--here comes the long lectures, mind buggling and time-pressured exams, comprehensive procedures to memorize for redem(redemonstration). But gladly passed it and will just be back for completion.
Honestly, on that span of three days, I was stressed. haha! Aside from the fact that I felt brain drained and my stagnant brain (for being a bum) had quite a hard time studying again, I also was having trouble with my sleeping pattern. Because as a bum, most of the time I sleep on the wee hours of the morning. haha! my bad. So for now, back again as a bum. Need to review those procedures and really practice inserting a cannula(catheter) because I'll be really dealing with patients during completion, inshort--handling lives. You know when you insert this stuffs in the vein, it could be detrimental, so you should be very careful because once a catheter is dislodged through the vein, it could go through the circulation and can cause one's life. So, be careful! And by the way, having a needle/catheter to your vein is painful and uncomfortable. Now, I know the feeling. And now I understand the children, why they cry. :)
So wish me luck guys during completion.
