There is only one nurse in the past few years that has EVER been able to hit my veins the first time every time. She is the sweetest little lady. She works at my OBGYN's office- and she always calls me "honey child"Originally Posted by SwampWitch
You poor thing! That's so harsh!
I have a friend who is a nurse and specializes in hard-to-find veins. She makes really good money and can pretty much choose her hours. I wish more people had her gift.
I hope you don't have a lot of bruises, and that you get the job after all that!
I am sorry about your momOriginally Posted by katachtig
Nikki, I feel your pain. I inherited those roll-away veins from my mother (who suffered terribly when they were doing chemo all of the time). If they don't know what they're doing, it is just a nightmare as they keep sticking and sticking and then I get light-headed though I haven't passed out yet. The worst was one who was supposed to fill a vial and all she got from each stick was a couple of drops. Took forever. I'm glad that my HMO has some decent ones as I have blood drawn every couple of months to monitor my thyroid and cholesterol. But even then, I don't give them my left arm because they never can find a vein.
