If I Was an Octapus I'd be a better Nurse...but Maybe Not a Better Person

Today I started my first IV!! Yay me!
Happy dance x3!!

Ok. So really it was a gong show.
I didn't even know I'd hit the vein cuz I forgot to watch for the flashback.
So I didn't even know til my instructor was like "yay you did it!"
And I'm like...umm...ok.
Then of course connecting everything and taping everything down required my 2 hands, my instructors 2 hands and Heather (my nursing buddy)'s two hands as well.

So for my next IV if I grow an extra 4 arms will be a piece of cake!
