Hey Y'all!
Today I learned how to start an IV in my nursing lab. It was really exciting to learn this skill, although it does make me nervous. We did not practice on each other (Yet) but instead we practiced on some mannequin arms. They seem pretty realistic. They have "skin" and "veins" and when you stick the needle in you even get a blood flashback. There is obviously not real blood inside of them, but there is some red water!! We did practice putting tourniquets on each other to watch the veins rise and fill up with blood. I'm glad I did not have to practice starting an IV on my partner though because her veins appeared to be very hard to stick.
After class I helped out with the University Fellows procedures, gave a few quick tours and helped answer some questions. I had a student who is coming here next year spend the night with me and then I took her to my nursing class on Friday morning. I think she was really excited because before class we stopped at the nursing lab and I showed her all of the IV stuff I had learned!
Peace,Love,&Jesus,
Bry
