I did my LPN training thru the Army. They had us sticking each other with at least 3 IVs a day every day for 4 months while in the medic phase before we moved on to the LPN phase. Once in LPN school, we practiced on each other because it was less of a hassle than the mannequins that were available. One of our clinical rotations had is on the phlebotomy lab a couple days. While in clinicals, it was up to the discretion of the nurse we were shadowing to let us do it or not. I had extensive IV training before testing for my license, but my circumstances were not typical for civilians.

The calories burned depends on your height and weight and intensity of the shift. Step 1 Convert your weight in pounds to kilograms by dividing by 2.2. For example, if you weigh 176 pounds then you weigh 80 kilograms. Step 2 Look up the MET value of the activity that you performed. These figures are available from the websites of the National Cancer Institute and the Institute of Lifestyle Medicine as well as in the Compendium of Physical Activities Tracking Guide, which is available on the website of the University of South Carolina Arnold School of Public Health. For example, general cycling has a MET value of 8.0. Step 3 Multiply the MET value by your weight in kilograms. If you weigh 80 kilograms and perform an activity like cycling with a MET value of 8.0, for example, this would give you 640 as a product. Step 4 Multiply the product by the time you performed the activity in hours to get the number of calories you burned. For example, if you cycled for 30 minutes then you would multiply 640 by 0.5 to get 320 calories.
