American nurses in here just now realizing how advanced Chinese nurses are, lol. They don't study 12 hours a day year long for fun. They're bound to be spectacular.

Edit: After doing some research I've found that my comment is completely wrong. Nurses in the U.S. have more education before becoming a nurse and also receive more practical experience before becoming a nurse as well.

The fact that I have any upvotes(9) instead of all downvotes goes to show how people support what they want to hear instead of factual truth.

I will note that nurses who learn this technique train extensively for it and almost certainly have dozens of hours of practice in it before they ever stick a patient. A lot more practice than most nurses in the US are given during nursing school with IV needles. A few three hour classes is all my friend got, with maybe 20-30 minutes of direct instruction total.
