Am in the PACU (recovery room) and one of the things we rarely ( like once or twice a year) is start IV's.
Last week we started rotating a bit & helping in the pre op part of the dept, and one of the big skills is starting IV's, and I intentionally kept my mouth shut about my mad IV skilz, so folks wouldn't pester me to help.
4 hours into my first rotation my co workers figured out what I've done for the last couple of years.![]()
I've started over a dozen "problem" IV's for them this week already...

Can't you get extra money per hour if starting difficult IV's is added to your job role? At our facility,whatever supervisor is covering the house gets to start/restart difficult cases.
