What happened
Patient was requiring the attention of many staff by getting out of bed and trying to leave through walls etc. He was Sun downing. Provider ordered a medication to be given IM. I was helping the patients nurse so i drew up the medication and gave it to the patient. I closed the safety needle using the one handed technique like we were taught but apparently the tip of the needle did not go into the plastic safety sheath. i took the supposedly sheathed needle off of the syringe to discard it in th e sharps and when i put it in the left hand it stuck me in the thumb. I looked down at it and saw that the tip was not down in the plastic sheath all the way. My thumb was bleeding and i squeezed it to bleed more and then washed it with hot water and s oap.
