I am in my last semester of school before I become an RN. We were able to practice on another student for our skills lab. I was too afraid and didn't. However, I finally did my first IV, and am so glad I did. :) I did it on a pregnant woman and am grateful for the oppurtunity. Pregnant women are so full of blood and fluids it was an easy stick. Your confidence will improve greatly after that first stick. Take all the chances you can get to do whatever they'll let you do, or you'll regret it! Hope this helps!
