I spent the morning with IV therapy.  I thought I would follow around some lady and go around to wherever she was needed.  It didn't work like that.  Instead, I was taught how to insert an IV catheter by using a rubber arm.  Then she took me down to the pre-op area and had me start IVs on actual people.  I was like, holy shit!  Luckily she stood right by my side and guided me along, but I wasn't expecting to stick a bunch of people.  She asked the nurses if there were any patients who needed IVs started.  I wanted to run far away.  After I blew a man's veins twice (not as bad as it sounds), I was reading to scream.  I thought for sure the IV therapist would kill me.  But she kept on having me stick people, telling me this kind of stuff happens.  So I stuck a couple more people with no problems.  Then I left and smoked.
