Hey everyone! I finally did it! I successfullly started my first IV! After five :imbar failed attempts over the last few semesters, and with the help of a wonderful knowledgable nurse, I got it!

I was so excited afterward, I went down the hallway and did a happy dance!

It is so much easier to do them once you've had a successfull stick. I was lucky and I got my first one in w/o any problems, took off soooo much pressure. I missed a few after, but it wasn't as bad. Keep up the great work!!

Congratulations! Unfortunately we are not allowed to start IVs as a student in our school. I'm lucky enough to work in the ER so I've had the opportunity there.

You don't start IV's in school? So when do you learn???????????????????????????????????????????????
