Thank you so much!!! I've been so defeated about doing IV's and we just started second semester. We didn't do many during first semester because of Covid. I watched this video and just did my first confident IV start. I was having the problem with getting the catheter in. I just got my IV no problem. So happy I want to cry thank you!
Congratulations, Nurse Katherine! Thank you for watching the videos and for taking the time to let me know the videos have helped you. You have no idea how much that means to me. I wish you the best in your new career as a nurse. Thank you for letting me be part of your nursing journey!

I applaud u Ms.Sarah...the time that u take to do these videos says so much,the effort and simply sharing ur knowledge not just for nursing students but i am pretty much sure many persons of the health care team can refer to. Your videos have helped alot in many ways. So thank you whole heartedly.God bless u
I am not involved in the medical field but, I find this very interesting how you guys help keep us healthy and help us when we need medical assistance. Thanks!!!
Sarah, I passed NCLEX RN . I received official letter today. Everyone is asking the resources i used, just recommending your videos. Thank you again 🤗🤗🤗
Congratulations!!! I'm so very happy for you. THANK YOU so much for using my videos to help you prep and for recommending my videos to others. I wish you the best in your new career as a nurse :)
Omg me too would like to see that kind of vein pricking my patient...most of the time, doing blind shot... Working in adult hematology patient with no CVAD, always praying for a good prick😭
I gotta say... I'm a second year nursing student and I just feel terrified of starting IV's on someone.the next semester I MUST do it and am totally freaked out. By the way, thank you because your videos help me a lot for practicing my English. Greetings from Colombia
I love her voice I could listen to her all day! I live on the va/nc line so this is out accent LOL! Nothing better than a southern belle especially one thats smart, confident, and has a carreer/future!!
This video is great! Thank you so much! I wish there was a video showing how to get the really deep veins on people who are obese and dehydrated, if you are taking suggestions! Thank you, again.
Thank you so much. I'm actually a platelet donor. I was looking for more information in order to acquaint myself so I'm more prepared for donating. I feel a lot better knowing more about the veins in the process. Thank you
Your Pt, *has delicious PIPES!* I only have my wrist vein (basilic) left after teaching phlebotomy for 2 years and using myself as a practice dummy. My veins are tiny and rolly, so great practice for students, but OUCH! When I go for my TSH, lab techs go white. However, the young ones in their 20s are really excited about it! *Thank you, new generation, for being taught about that great, CHUNKY wrist vein for which I do not need a tourniquet!*
Dear Sarah, I'd like to convey my sincere thanks to you for all of your wonderful videos. And the way you explain to us is truly professional, precise and easy to understand. Watching your videos again and again helped me to complete my placement successfully and received good comments from my clinical facilitator. Honestly speaking, your awesome videos teach me and educate me much more than what I learn from my university. I have enough confidence to go for the upcoming clinical placements because of you and your great videos. My heart keeps thanking you always.
Wow, THANK YOU so much for the amazing comment and for taking the time to leave it. I'm beyond honored to help. It is so great to hear that these videos are helping you succeed. Thank you for watching them, and I wish you the best in your studies. It's so awesome to be studying with you :)
hi sarah... could you please make an video guide regarding clothing studies like aPTT, PT, ESR AND INR. its really confusing for me specially normal second value interpretations and INR. I will every thankful to you for this act of kindness. thank you so much .. with regards raj. i do have an uncles exam on 24 july ..... love you so much....god bless you dear
hi , m good with venipuncture as I have done it many times but with IV cannulation, m just new. I did my first supervised competency few days ago and my patient really had a deep vein , I could pulsate it but it wasn't that visible like this one. I did manage to draw blood back and flush saline but are there ques that can help me identify that the cannula is into the vein and hasn't gone into the tissue?
I was just at a hospital and when putting in my iv they missed multiple times i have no problem with that cause eventually they got it in but now the vein they missed alot is stiff and very sore. and by stiff i mean that i can feel it theu my skin when a rub on my arm does anyone know whats happening?
I wish I had this 22 years ago when I started nursing. Our school and hospital had an IV start team, so I didn’t get to start an IV on a real patient until I joined the USAF Nurse Corps.
This is my issue Suzanne ! 20+ years nursing, but the IV team was initiated shortly after I became a nurse ! Freed us for other patient care, but regretfully I see now I need this skill and am working to better myself.
You’re an excellent nurse with great knowledge and a bonus is that you’re sweet. Nurses here are idiots. Rarely do you bump into someone who’s excellent at drawing blood. I have difficult veins unfortunately
I wish my veins popped like they use too. There ruined from frequent hospital visits. I’m in Nursing school now. I had a serious of health issues in the past whenever I got hospitalized they would get a vein one tome then they’d have to go to either a central line, mid line or pick Line.
my go to is an 18g in the cephalic vein in between the elbow and wrist on the lateral side of the forearm or the basilic vein on the posterior side of the arm(usually runs diagonal)! big veins, and out of the way for the patient. less bumping into things = less risk of vein damage.
when I feel arm vain now vain not soft at injection site 11 days later, vain feels like a rice grain hard and firm and you can see lump too, thats what made me want to feel it I could see it.Im upset, just spoke with E R on the phone just long enough to tell them they can keep the stool sample.
As you get older, your body will start to show some kind of accessory cephalic veins. I'm just watching these videos to learn more about venipuncture in nursing.

Ysss
I would love to see a video on hard to stick patients. Something like deep veins, small fragile veins. Thanks
Hello. I may make more vein videos in the future, but I do have one on hard to find veins: ua-cam.com/video/dKenI4Q2pWE/v-deo.html
RegisteredNurseRN thank you for that video.
Still hard😭
I was thinking about the same thing.
Same... I have always struggled with IV' especially hard sticks
Excited to say I passed my NCLEX this week! Thank you so much for the great videos. I don’t know if I could of passed nursing school without these!

I wish all my patients looked like this!
I could never hit the cephalic vein I haven't done any damage to it I just I can feel it I know it's there I can't see it but I can never get it
But believe me we all wish we had veins like that it's just not how it is
IKR. If everyone only had pooping veins. Makes life easier.
That’s a dream we all dream 😂😂
Omg me too would like to see that kind of vein pricking my patient...most of the time, doing blind shot...

I did manage to draw blood back and flush saline but are there ques that can help me identify that the cannula is into the vein and hasn't gone into the tissue?

Hello, I was wondering could you do a video on Acute Respiratory Stress Syndrome please? :)
Hello Mari! Yes, this is most definitely on my list. Thank you for letting me know you would like to see this video uploaded :)
muscular guys are the best sticks!!
I wish to be phlebotomist
When them ED nurses send an annoying patient up with an AC IV and they bend their arm a LOT 😡
Oh my gosh. Is your patient a low bmi and fit👀 Those are super plump veins. I wish the dehydrated patients had similar veins life would be easy
Your accents is so strange! Not American n not British
It's a southern accent from the southern states of the US
Beautiful veins!!
Are y'all vampires?
If I need medical attention I hope it's someone as informed as you. I'm not a medical student or professional but I love your channel. God bless you.

As you get older, your body will start to show some kind of accessory cephalic veins. I'm just watching these videos to learn more about venipuncture in nursing.
