I am posting this question for a nursing colleague doing some research. Thanks, Lynn

 

The Situation: New nurses, on a national level, are lacking the ability to perform many basic nursing skills when hired. Controversy also exists as to whether starting an IV is considered a basic nursing skill and whether IV insertions are even being taught during nursing. Through literature, it has been suggested that there is little, if any, IV insertion skills taught during nursing school.  At the same time, other literature is indicating that IV insertion skills are being taught during nursing school.

 

The Questions: Were you provided any form of IV insertion instruction (i.e., lecture, lecture/ demonstration, fake rubber arm or simulated device, computer program, CathSim, or other devices.....) during your nursing school program?       YES____X____, or NO_______.

 

What year did you graduate from your nursing program?  1974, Australia

 

Thanks, Lynn
