Moral of the story: Don't have your new nurse practice her finger stick techniques on a flailing, angry three year old, and always give the mom all the options.

I remember when I used to take Amy for her vaccines and I had to hold her while they stabbed her thighs with what looked like a harpoon to me. I felt like the ultimate traitor.
And I remember when she drank mosquito repellent, and we brought her to the ER where they handed us a bottle of liquid charcoal with instructions to get it down her. She fought for two hours, before a nurse finally answered our requests for help and swaddled her up and tubed her and got it down her.
I thought she would never forgive us. She did, though. And TJ WILL survive this, none the worse for the wear.
