How to better nursing skills outside of lab practicals/simulations?
I’m currently in an accelerated nursing program and have noticed how quickly we move through clinical skills, often with limited time to really master each one before moving on to the next. With so many skills being introduced, it can feel challenging to build confidence, especially with more hands on procedures like IV insertion. For those who have gone through similar programs or are currently practicing nurses: how did you improve and practice skills like IV insertion outside of limited lab time? Where did you find opportunities, materials, or appropriate ways to practice? I’ve worked alongside nurses in a hospital setting and have seen that even experienced nurses sometimes need time to refine this skill on the job. However, I’d really like to enter practice feeling as prepared as possible and minimize the learning curve for the sake of patient comfort and safety. Any advice, resources, or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.
