I'm a combat medic poolee for the Army. I'm a little scared of needles but I feel this is my true calling. How do I get over putting IV's in soldiers arms so I dont puss out in AIT?
I'm a civilian medic. Just man the fuck up and jab them in the arm. Its not hard. Enjoy palpating everyones arms when you meet them too.

Is it really not a problem? Like is it different than getting an IV on yourself

No. Throw that band on. Palpate that vein. Shove that 18/20 gauge in the arm. Occlude it. Throw whatever shitty j-loop or iv line on. Taoe it the fuck dow n. You got it, bud. I believe in you. Id be in as a military medic if I wasnt barred permanently from service.

Nothing special ADHD, childhood psych issues, and trying to join multiple branches just to get in.

Practice on yourself. I had an bud growing up who did during training. If you know what you're putting your fellow man through, it really calms you down.
