Much prefer an IV somewhere in my forearm. If you go for that spot you're suggesting, for me, personally it makes it so that I can't close my hand fully and I find it causes my hand to swell up.

How can you tell where there's a valve?
I absolutely love the positive energy in this community! It's inspiring to see everyone supporting e😊😊
I would go to the arm
Please support me
I really enjoy everything you guys teach us… I do appreciate your hard work uploading the videos ….
Man I was just helping a tech learn to start IV’s the other day and I had such mixed emotions
On the one hand it’s like, everyone starts somewhere, man. Ability takes time. Nobody starts out as a pro.
On the other hand, this dude was really fuckin bad at it and I was like ah geez man this might not be for you. You’re somehow starting at less than zero. It’s actually kind of scary to watch.
Robbie, if you’re out there, no hard feelings but you really need to step it up a bit lol
Great I made it successful proud to be here

I'm getting ready to start nursing school next year and trying to get all the help i can lol.
Can physiotherapy students do this
I have rolling veins 😀
Yep, agree 100%!
Also some lab results can be altered by leaving the tourniquet on for too long.
Never learned about bifurcation in nursing school. We did an IV insertion but this info was not given. Thank you.
For me, either an IO or my port. I have absolutely no veins.
Use heat. Any kind of heat. Heating pad. Hot water compress. Hot blanket.
