Just wanted to share - in my med surg clinical today I finally started my first successful IV on a pt today - followed by the second successful attempt on a second pt 30 min later! This was after 2 failed attempts over the last 2 weeks in clinical where the site infiltrated or the vein blew. I feel so much better that I can actually place an IV. It made me so happy that I can actually do this - my youngest IV pt was 90 years old, and the oldest 93.
