That can happen anywhere. I've had phlebotomists sink a needle without even feeling it, while others are butchers.

I ALWAYS ask, in a joking manner, if they've done this before, but I am actually serious. If they act like it's a dumb question, I can relax a bit, if they are young and aren't super confident, I'm on alert.

If they get it wrong the first time, I tell them they have one more chance, and then we're calling in someone else. And I mean it. I don't care if I hurt some young nurse's feelings over this. I respect nurses like crazy, and always defend them in strikes, wages, etc., but I'm not going to just let someone practice on me like I'm a cadaver. I can FEEL that, and it HURTS! Get it right, or get someone who can get it right.
