I had a similar experience when I first entered the hospital for treatment. Several nurses tried several times to start an IV and could not get it. They eventually had one of the PICC nurses come to use the ultrasound to start the IV. I wasn't dehydrated, they said my veins were small. But they also said they were scarred from having so many IVs from transfusions.
