What would you have done differently? 💉

Some random tips:
💉 Apply tourniquet FIRST, then truly assess for veins. Sure, you might be able to identify one from a visual glance, but tying that tourniquet and taking a closer look might just give you a better option.

💉 Don’t JUST look! Palpating the region for options can give you great choices in the forearm, wrist, and AC. Looks can be deceiving, so don’t OVERlook the importance of palpation

💉For stubborn veins that just won’t surface, try tapping gently and using a heated blanket or warm pack. Warmth = dilation, so you’re more apt to find a winning vein if they’re feeling warm and plump!

💉 ALWAYS anchor the vein BELOW the insertion site. Pull the vein down & taut. Never anchor above. You have less control & are at risk for sticking yourself!

💉 Bevel up. This might sound simple for those of you who know how important it is, but it can be overlooked & assumed that new students know this!

Remember → IVs take PRACTICE and PATIENCE! You got this, future nurse.

A message from Kristine, founder of NurseInTheMaking📣
My name is Kristine and I survived nursing school…and you can too!
Nurse In The Making was inspired during my time in nursing school. I immediately struggled and decided to create my own study guides. These guides have helped me personally as well as many others make nursing school just a little more manageable.I hope you find comfort knowing that everyone struggles at times. Nursing school is emotionally and physically draining. I hope these informative, clean, and simple guides help you navigate through all the information because there is A LOT of it in nursing school.

Happy Studying Future Nurses. Don't forget to enjoy the journey!
