If you're like most nurses, you went to a nursing school that didn't prepare you for how often you'd be starting IVs in the real world. Most schools have maybe an hour or two during a single skills day, and if you're lucky you have the chance to trade one stick with a fellow student. Hardly enough time to learn just the basics, and I've heard of many schools that don't even give you a practice try at all!

And when you get into the hospital setting? They expect you to already be proficient, and there are very few facilities in the country that have any kind of IV training program. It really seems like nursing schools expect you to learn these things on the job, and hospitals expect you to have learned them in Nursing School. There's definitely an educational gap.

If you're a nursing student, new nurse, or just want more instruction around IV insertion, I’m here to help!

This video course includes everything you need to know about starting IVs, from the very basics like aseptic technique to placing lines in difficult patient populations such as Geriatric, Bariatric, and IV drug users.

We will cover standards of practice, all kinds of tips, tricks, and techniques specifically designed to help you achieve a much higher first-stick success rate!

The IV demonstrations cover a wide variety of ages from 20’s-80’s, both male and female, differing health status, light and dark skin colors, and a large array of veins from those juicy, easily visible ones we all love to small, superficial veins in the forearms and hands.

BONUS!

I started a private Facebook group for everyone who signs up for the course. This is where you can ask me questions and we can discuss everything IV-related! I try to check in at least once per day so I can personally help you with whatever problem you might be encountering. My goal is to help you become proficient with IVs, whatever that might take!
