It Can Happen to You!

That will never happen to me… I’m always careful… We’re all careful all the time. One of my classmates got stuck with a dirty needle at clinical on Friday. It obviously happens when you least expect it, but it involved testing of the student and the patient for potential infections. Please be careful!
might I ask how it happened? Lots of folks think rad techs are not exposed to that kind of hazard. Btw, I just found out yesterday - I got in to the program for the fall!! Woohoo!
@gaile: The student attempted to re-cap a used needle.
Congrats on getting into your program!
