Vein: Your veins may be difficult to find. Either they are deep or they may be rolling and that may be why it took so many times to get an IV in. Small veins are also difficult too. Ask the nurses why they had difficulty so the next time you need an IV you may ask for a more experience person to put the IV in.

No: U are not at risk of anything. It may mean that U could have been partially dehydrated. Good hydration will prevent this in future.

Venous access: simply put - you are a "hard stick" and at risk for multiple IV attempts in the future This may be due to your body size, degree of hydration, presence of edema or skin color. I would remember the "good" spot for the future in case you need IV's in the future.
