I received an IM injection and the nurse did not insert the needle all the way will the shot still be effective?

The job of the nurse is to put the end of the needle into the muscle (IM=intramuscular), not to shove it in as far as it can go. So, if the nurse did get the needle into the muscle, it should be effective.
