That is one of the reasons that I really like my infusion nurse. She always gets me with one stab. She happens to be an ER nurse at the adjacent hospital, and so maybe that is why she does so well. As Wiz noted, it is a learned skill. Your nurse needs to learn again.

I am sorry that your infusion nurse sent you home without the infusion.
