We have a good number of nurses who have either never started IVs on Pediatric patients, or it's been a while since they have. Does anyone have any resources or educational material on the insertion of pediatric IVs? Other than being there in the moment with a real patient? It's difficult to simulate inserting one on a crying or screaming kid on a stretcher.
Does anyone have a Pediatric IV Competency that they use?
Thank you in advance.
