do you have any allergies to chicken, eggs or dairy?

yay! i've given my first shot-and more than that-i feel confident about giving shots now. i got to educate my patients, fill the syringes and administer the influenza vaccine. i was quite nervous with my first patient, but as i did more and more, i became more at ease with this new skill. and i'm so happy that i conquered shots! =) it was also very comforting to do with my professor there, to walk me through any problems, and to do it with lacey! we both got to witness each other's "first shot"-even though, we were supposed to tell the patient, if asked, that we've had "lots of practice" which is true, if not a little misleading...
yay for shots!
