Had an internship yesterday. Showed up an hour and a half early to help check off the truck and go over some things I wasn't 100% on. Toned out for first patient, and the preceptor throws me into the mix. B)
First three patients that required IV access, I successfully started the IV's on first attempt.
Fourth patient, I felt the pop, got the flash, then we hit a big pot hole...:sad: Don't know if I blew the vein before the pot hole or not...but ended the night on a missed IV. :sad:
The crew I rode with was really good. Very intelligent, great interaction with the patients, and were great to work with. They just threw me in there in a few situations and let me work what I could and helped watch over me.
The crew chief had some very inspiring things to say to me at the end of the shift...so I was very happy with the whole internship.
That is all....
