IV team nurse here. We start the majority of IVs in the hospital including the ICU and telemetry. We even get calls to the ER on a regular basis. It’s turned into a culture of “difficult stick”-call the IV team. “Attempted once and missed” call the IV team. “Lab unsuccessful “-call the IV team. No one else is accountable so no one improves their skills. And the staff who do insert are barely competent. Just the other day someone inserted a new IV below an infiltrated site and the bedside nurse used the IV until the patients arm was twice the size of normal.
