Hello Everybody
I just started my first nursing position at a ED of a hospital and things are great but I am having the hardest time inserting IVs in patients. I have been reading so many forums about the subject on this board but I never learned how to put in an IV in nursing school, the hospital taught me how to do it last week, and this week, I only had two successful IVs out of eight.
My coworkers say it just takes practice but my question to you is
How long did it take you to become an IV master?
and How fast can you put in an IV in an emergency situation?
And any personal tips would be greatly appreciated
