Re: IM injections in the dorsal gluteus IN SCHOOL

When I went to medical assisting school 9 years ago they taught us to inject in the Glut. In nursing school they taught us to NEVER inject in the glut because of the siatic nerve. If your school is teaching you to inject in the glut then they are not teaching you what is up to date. I would be worried. You should bring this to the teachers attention. If you need quotes from texts let me know.
