I did my first IV this week too and it was no biggie! I think us nursing students intimidate ourselves way too much, making things appear more difficult than it is. I barely put the needle in and saw flashback -- bingo! Way easier than doing it on mannequins and I never thought I would say that.

Yeah-we tend to intimidate each other about random stuff, but its still a rush with the IV's!
