Before the incident
I was giving a patient a [REDACTED] shot and then I finished giving the patient the shot. I then removed the needle from the patient. I was pressing the safety mechanism and it grazed m left finger. I was trying to grab his skin. I think when I was removing the needle I felt like it grazed my finger. My hands are not strong enough to retract it on the patient 's skin. Because every time I try to do it it hurt the patient the more. If I press to hard I feel that I am hurting the patient more. And he is now very skinny. Any little friction he feels it x 10. We had our Didactic skills day today and we had a needle stick section. So they told us that if we have a needlestick injury we should tell our leader and report to Occ Health. If Occ Health is not available we should go to the ED .
