Overcoming Blood Part 2

This week has been the long awaited "IV week" at school. We finally were able to get the materials we needed for the students to learn IV starts. Never has there been a more anticipated yet feared skills lab in all of nursing school history. Do you think the fact the students practice on eachother might have something to do with it?
I asked for a volunteer to demonstrate and IV start on and to my surprize obtained one without difficulty. Only later did I find out that this particular student isn't overly fond of needles. She could have fooled me, she did just fine!
Though I know that this skill can be very difficult for many of the students, there is one who seemed to have a little more apprehension about it than the others. After one of the practice sessions I kicked out my other students and kept this one... First we worked on putting on the tourniquet, then palpating the viens, then drawing blood and finally starting an actual patent IV. She performed the skills beautifuly and left my arm "hematoma free." I'm not sure why but for some reason the most difficult part was touching the veins. But... She was determined and willing to work hard to overcome this and she did! I know it sounds a little strange but I came away so inspired by this!
Just two days later I found myself in a situation that was difficult for me, one that I despirately wanted to overcome. I thought about how she had overcome. I decided to pray and to tell myself "I can overcome because it has already been overcome for me by the blood of lamb."
Throughout this past week I have seen many of the students "overcome blood" but the overcoming blood... Another "happy teacher moment!"
