How many residents does it take to start an IV?

[JuliusSeizure]

Resident: "So you take the patient into the examining room...."

Med student: "Examining room... got it..."

Resident: "Have them sign the consent form..."

Med student: "Consent form... okay..."

Resident: "Then you go ahead and get an IV started...."

Med Student: "You're kidding."

Resident: "What?"

Med student: "Um, I don't know how to start an IV."

Other resident in room: "Me either."

Resident: "Well, you can give it a try."

Med student: "Seriously, I've done it like, once. I could maybe draw blood if I had to, but there's no way I can start an IV."

Resident: "Actually, I don't really know how to do it either."

How many residents does it take to start an IV? Clearly more than 3.

Hey, some residents come in the nursing home/rehab facility where I work, and my boss told me the other day that the doctor they're under told them they can no longer ask us "Uhhh, so what would you do in this situation?" - which I think at least one of them has asked me before.
