Just thought you would value knowing what really happened. I think it's awesome that you get to start IVs as a nursing student, the hospitals that worked with my program wouldn't allow such a thing.

When I was 17, I got in a terrible collision and needed to be started on an IV. I have "difficult" veins, and when the poor nurse finally located a tap-worthy spot, he fumbled, the hep-lock fell out and my blood sprayed on the wall, then a spurt on the curtain, and then a splat on his face. Now, I do not suffer from Hep C, HIV, or any other blood borne pathogens, but he had no way of knowing that, and he went deathly white. To his credit, he grabbed someone else as he hurriedly left the room to, I presume, boil his head. ALWAYS POINT THE ARM AWAY! I always feel terrible when I think about new nurses.

Once, a patient was brought in for MI and it was the time that I saw so many nurses and doctors trying to revive an old woman. She didn't make it though. It was really sad.
