The IV Nurse

Basic human needs: but add a little bag of emotional support.

Reviews like Shenna’s mean so much to me, especially when I had the privilege of caring for her whole family during a rough week with the flu.

Showing up on time, helping everyone feel comfortable, and making each IV start as smooth as possible may seem like small things, but they matter when you already feel terrible.

Thank you for trusting me with your family’s care, Shenna. This is exactly why I love what I do. 🤍

Butterfly needles really have had excellent PR.

Somewhere along the way, “butterfly” became synonymous with smaller, gentler and better for tiny veins — but butterfly describes the device, not the size.

The gauge is what tells you the diameter.

And while we’re clearing things up: with a peripheral IV, the needle is used to place it and then comes OUT. What stays in your vein is a soft, flexible catheter.

So if needle size is your concern: ask about the gauge, not the wings.

Justice for the IV catheter. 😂

Turns out healthcare can be kinda chic. 😂

House calls. Labs in your pajamas. Getting way too excited about a good vein. Carrying half a treatment room in a backpack. And yes… having VERY strong opinions about IV gauges.

Just another day around here.

Which one are you? Or better yet — what did I miss?

Curious about NAD+ versus Niagen? We hear that question a lot — and we’re here to help you sort fact from marketing. At The IV Nurse, we offer both NAD+ and Niagen via IV infusion or IM injection so your treatment can be tailored to your goals, tolerance, and schedule.

Here’s the short version: NAD+ is the finished coenzyme your cells use; Niagen (nicotinamide riboside) is a patented precursor your body can convert into NAD+. Both approaches aim to support cellular energy and wellness, but the research and delivery routes differ. Some people prefer direct NAD+ therapy for immediate delivery; others choose Niagen for the strong clinical research showing it raises NAD+ levels.

We’ll review your health history, goals, and comfort with infusion vs. injection to recommend the best option for you. If you’re in Winter Garden, Orlando, or nearby, we bring concierge NAD+ and Niagen IV/IM services right to your home, office, or hotel.

Have questions or want to book a consult? Tell us where you are and what you hope to improve — we’ll explain the options in plain language and help you choose. 💬🏡

Replying to Egelon It never fails. 😂 Every time I post an IV start video, I get several comments saying:

“No blood. That IV isn’t in the vein.”

So let’s clear this one up.

I use self-occluding IV catheters, specifically I love the supercaths. Once I get flashback and remove the needle, the catheter is designed to help prevent blood from flowing back out of the device.

The needle comes OUT. The soft catheter stays IN.

So the lack of a crime scene after an IV start isn’t proof that the IV “isn’t good.” 😂

Turns out, blood everywhere isn’t actually a requirement for a successful IV.

🎥Thank you Ashley Rogers for lending your gorgeous veins for this nurse educational video.

Your mind has been running all day.

The thoughts.
The stress.
The endless to-do list.
The feeling that you should be doing more.

And sometimes, your body needs a moment to reset too. 🧠✨

Magnesium is an essential mineral involved in hundreds of processes throughout the body, including muscle and nerve function.

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, experiencing muscle tension, struggling with sleep, or simply feeling like your mind won’t slow down, it’s worth paying attention to what your body may be asking for.

💧 Magnesium IV therapy may be an option for people who need targeted hydration and magnesium support, when clinically appropriate.

Because wellness isn’t just about having more energy.

Sometimes it’s about finding your balance again.

More calm.
Better recovery.
Clearer focus.
A moment to breathe.

Your mind deserves care too. 🤍

Just tell me which one to get.

I hear it every week, and summer is when it peaks. So here’s my honest answer: the two I get asked about most this time of year are the Original Myers and NAD+ , and they’re not interchangeable. But they work GREAT together.

The Myers is the workhorse. Familiar, well-established, the one most people are actually asking for when they say “the good one.”

NAD+ is the one everyone’s curious about right now. It’s also the one I slow people down on. Longer infusion, higher cost, and a conversation I want to have with you before you book it, not after.

Florida summer doesn’t ask permission. Between the heat, the humidity, and a schedule that doesn’t slow down just because it’s 95 degrees, a lot of people hit August running on empty.

But which bag, or whether you need one at all, depends on you. That’s what the intake is for. Sometimes I tell people to skip it and drink water for a week first. That answer is free.
