Where can saline solution for practicing injections be purchased?

It can be found in many drugstores. However it is ALWAYS a bad idea to practice injections outside of your school or training program. For example, many nursing schools will kick you out of the program if they find that you have been practicing on people who are not in the program or covered patients. Many schools won't even allow students to practice on each other in a school setting or anywhere else. it is a HUGE liability and infection issue!! If you injected someone and they got infected, they could sue you. In addition, you could be fined for practicing medicine without a license because you don't have a prescription for whatever you are injecting. Saline is now considered a drug under federal law.
