This week's nursing skills lab was by far the most exciting one I've attended.
We were learning how to use a needle (in a special pen) to prick our fingers so that we can use the blood to test the glucose level in our bodies.
Sounds scary doesn't it?
I was apprehensive about using the pen on HuiKoon's delicate petite fingers because..
I was afraid that I might not be able to contain the ecstatic look on my face when I saw the blood oozing out and I didn't fancy getting ostracized for that.
As a result of Huikoon's enthusiastic encouragement, I did it.
omg it was so freaking fun!
Huikoon and I were equally euphoric about this successful breaking of her skin and she volunteered show me where to pinch her finger so that more blood will flow out.
After cleaning her finger up it was immediately my turn to get pricked.
Even though it was a little painful, the sense of satisfaction was far greater than the pain caused.
When I looked around the lab everyone else was equally excited emitting whooping or ooh-ing sounds.
If not for the time constraints we would have kept pricking each other until all the fingers are used up.
It was
that fun.
