Guess Who's Learning & Getting Better at IVs?!

[amarie24]

Me!

They're never nearly as hard as I think!! And I literally be following a nurse around with the same name as me! (...Yeah, my real-life name is White Girl As Fuck.)

I be exhausted as fuck at the end of every clinical day (we start at 6:30am, and then don't get off until a lil after 5pm...), but I'm prouder and prouder of myself for all that I'm able to do!

Yay IVs!

People who are gentle hands with a needle /and/ good at a tricky vein are blessings. XD
I am horribly hard to stick. I hope your patients are easier.

Oh, thankies much, Red!

But I confess: I haven't actually gotten to stick & start an IV in a patient just yet! I've only actually helped manage IVs by switching out the bags, pushing heparin thru a central line, & programming the flow rates into the lil IV machines.

But yeah, I hear you: I'm a notoriously hard stick, too. I only got one good vein in my frickin' left antecubital (AKA the inside of my elbow), and even then you need a good hand to find it, stick it, and get something red out of it, LOLOL!

Thankies much again!! :D

Sepsis is definitely no joke, no matter what form.

Good that things are getting better for you, though.

Thanks so much, Silver! Thank you!! :D :D
