Publisher's summary

This audiobook has been condensed from the printed format to get straight to the point and include the most pertinent information.

In this audiobook, you’ll find everything you need to know for successful intravenous access on a variety of patients, including in-depth explanations of common terminology and lingo common in the clinical setting, anecdotal stories, step-by-step outlines, in-depth narratives, guidelines to troubleshooting common problems associated with IV initiation, and more.

Five steps to mastery.

Between the front and back cover of this resource guide, there are five main concepts I’ll explain as if you were my student or orientee, having a conversation with me face-to-face.

  1. Learn both the medical terminology and the slang. Knowing what the medical lingo means will help you absorb the most information from the anecdotes, and also sets you up for success to communicate in a professional manner in the clinical setting as a student or nurse
  2. Visualize your own success to help you put mind over matter and apply your new skills to the real world
  3. Study both the physical and mental aspects of peripheral IV initiation
  4. Explore the anecdotes where the IV insertion attempt is unsuccessful, then revisit the anecdotes and correct the problems that led to an unsuccessful IV initiation along with me
  5. Repeat. It can take a few dozen IV attempts to feel confident. You’ll learn just as much from the failed attempts as the successful ones. Every nurse started in your shoes before they became proficient at starting IVs!
