Soren, Kick the next nurse that has to stick you. I had to get stuck in the hand multiple times, during labor, and twice in the spine for the epidural. Hope you feel better. I know I would kick anyone that didn't know how to do a stick. Especially a NURSE! :shock:

Yeah, that's a good idea. Maybe next time you'd prefer to go without the medication.

 

As a nursing student who is learning how to do IV insertions, I would just like to say that it is not the easiest thing to do, even for experienced nurses.

 

I will grant you, however, that if a nurse can't get the vein after three tries, an IV specialist should be called in, if available. Most of the nurses I have worked with will call after 2 failed attempts. (And yes, I've been the victim of multiple sticks, and I have really good veins.)

That sucks! How long do you have to have the injections for? If it for an extended amount of time, I would ask for a Permacath or some other long term access so that they do not have to keep sticking you!

 

Please do not kick the nurse. As a nurse, I can tell you that it is not always easy to get IVs in. Even the best have trouble sometime!

Hey Melissa,

be sure, I will never kick the nurse. I know, it is not easy to get IV´s, because my veins roll around under my skin. I think I will get the IV´s for 7 - 10 days. The last time we tested a "Braunüle" for a few days, but it doesn´t work! It hurt to much after a few hours. Thats why they prick me every day again and again!
