Hello interweb travellers, I blog again. I just wanted to commemorate my first cannulation
(read: stick a needle in a vein to introduce a longer term plastic tube with which to access veins with for IV medication) with a blog post. Well, isn't this nice? Lovely. Yesh. I was a tad nervous, but my volunteer/coworker was gracious and fun. Note: when being distracted by a senior nurse who's giving you advice and quizzing you, make sure to check the tourniquet you tightened 10 minutes ago.

Being accredited to take bloods and cannulate will make my job (ergo, your visit to the ED) run a lot smoother.

Woot!
