    I was born in '85, and never saw the movies until I was in my mid teens. It's not just the movies I'm a fan of, it's the concept and universe. That's all.

    I love(d) the history of the original series, but I was just so disappointed in how I-III came out. I was hoping they wouldn't rely so much on CGI and flashy names on the marquee... And I am a purist :). Disney *does* make good movies, so I'm prepared to keep an open mind. But after the mess...

    IV advice?

    My scope only allows me peripheral lines, which includes an EJ. However, at the ED, the EJ was referred to as a central line.

    IV advice?

    Oh, okay, thank you for the correction. I was under the impression they were considered central lines.

    IV advice?

    Ah, okay. I actually got an IV on that my last rotation. How difficult are EJs? I watched my preceptor try and get one (or two rather) on a woman and it seemed that it would have been easier if he had gone for a vein in one of her breasts or go IO - he stuck her twice with no luck. If you need a...

    Most unhelpful study partner.

    IV advice?

    Thanks! I wish we had more ED time. I start ride time in a few weeks and I know it's going to be a lot harder in the truck than a stable environment like the ED. But it's not like I'm the first student to ever be intimidated by sticks.

    IV advice?

    That's actually one thing I was messing up, I was way too high. The IVs that I had success with, I think I was lower and was able to get a little more wiggle room. Thank you!

    IV advice?

    It's not a mask, it's how I do my makeup. I'll remember that trick, thanks dude. I was a little concerned with the hands bc they're so bony, does that matter?

    IV advice?

    "MA'AM I AM NOT THE DEVIL." After awhile I just started agreeing with her. My only issue was/is the texture of their skin threw me off. I spent the day sticking people who had nice thick skin and then....paper. Kinda threw my new found confidence :)
