I was stuck 3 times for my IV. What surprised me was that I had to ask for a bandaid for the 2 missed IVs. The nurse was training a paramedic student & was not good at IV starts or training.  The student did not stabilize the vein & the vein rolled & then told me my veins are bad. I'm a nurse and work periop. The conversation was ridiculous. I had to request a different nurse to put my IV in. I found the IV starts very inept & was very dumbfounded that the 2 pokes were not covered with gauze or a Bandaid. When all was said and done, I had to ask the nurse who got my IV in to please give me 2 bandaids. I didn't want to leave with MRSA or a cdiff infection.  When do you not close up a hole that you poked??
