    Thank you so much!!! I've been so defeated about doing IV's and we just started second semester. We didn't do many during first semester because of Covid. I watched this video and just did my first confident IV start. I was having the problem with getting the catheter in. I just got my IV no problem. So happy I want to cry thank you!

    PRN (retired) here. 👋🏽 To minimize discomfort to the patient master insertion to the accessory cephalic, cephalic, or basilic veins. Opt for the left arm, if possible because circulation is better on the left side. You may hear that those veins are “deeper” and “harder to access”, but they are not. In fact you won’t have to worry about vein collapse or perforation as you’re trying to get blood feedback, as so often happens with veins in the hand. Mastery is crucial and you’ll find that you’ll be able utilize your IV line for faster blood draws, in addition to fluids. I watched an inexperienced ER nurse at CHLA completely flop on my daughters’ IV insertion after she didn’t listen. She ended up running the IV on my daughters left arm in the end.
    New Nurses: TAKE INSTRUCTION, especially when a patient or patients’ family members have practiced medicine longer than you’ve been alive.

    my go to is an 18g in the cephalic vein in between the elbow and wrist on the lateral side of the forearm or the basilic vein on the posterior side of the arm(usually runs diagonal)! big veins, and out of the way for the patient. less bumping into things = less risk of vein damage.

    I only have my wrist vein (basilic) left after teaching phlebotomy for 2 years and using myself as a practice dummy. My veins are tiny and rolly, so great practice for students, but OUCH! When I go for my TSH, lab techs go white. However, the young ones in their 20s are really excited about it! *Thank you, new generation, for being taught about that great, CHUNKY wrist vein for which I do not need a tourniquet!*

    Dear Sarah, I'd like to convey my sincere thanks to you for all of your wonderful videos. And the way you explain to us is truly professional, precise and easy to understand. Watching your videos again and again helped me to complete my placement successfully and received good comments from my clinical facilitator. Honestly speaking, your awesome videos teach me and educate me much more than what I learn from my university. I have enough confidence to go for the upcoming clinical placements because of you and your great videos. My heart keeps thanking you always.

    I wish my veins popped like they use too. There ruined from frequent hospital visits. I’m in Nursing school now. I had a serious of health issues in the past whenever I got hospitalized they would get a vein one tome then they’d have to go to either a central line, mid line or pick Line.

I did my first supervised competency few days ago and my patient really had a deep vein , I could pulsate it but it wasn't that visible like this one. I did manage to draw blood back and flush saline but are there ques that can help me identify that the cannula is into the vein and hasn't gone into the tissue?
