hi there! First of all congratulations for getting into your program! :balloons: I just finished my 1st semester last Spring. I know how u feel regarding IV's, I've always felt jittery especially with needles but I didn't let that stop me from pursuing Nursing :) I'm sure your teachers will be supportive especially since they know that there are people like us who are a bit hesitant with needles and invasive procedures. You'll have lotsa time to learn the techniques and practice skills in your lab. If it makes you feel better, I'm so comfy with needles now that my heart doesn't skip a beat anymore when I have to do an injection. Don't let fear get into the way of your goals-- have fun learning k? :)
