Here are some pictures that we took the day we learned to give IV's and scrub down for surgery. Like almost all our other skills, we practiced IV's on each other.
I don't know why I'm so excited here, but it's a pretty crazy picture :)
Prepping for IV's, Megan's scared
I hadn't actually poked her yet.
Trying to smile through the pain. My first IV try was unsuccessful. When I poked Megan, I missed the vein so I had to go fishing for it, Debbie (right behind me) basically guided it into the vein for me. Poor Megan was shaking it hurt so bad. I practiced again on Saturday and got it in right away.
I had never gotten an IV before that I can remember. They hurt!

Yeah...IV's are no fun. Especially when you have to have it in for a few DAYS. And yeah, they hurt going in. It's not like a blood-drawing needle...it's thicker because there's lots of fluids needing to go in. Yuck yuck!
