She can do nothing. You should pray that there should be some experienced nurse in the hospital who can get a vein in the first attempt. This is one of those situations where being educated or having a Top Degree in Nursing will not help. It is your experience which you have gained by hard work.

Somewhat fatty hands, it's difficult to find out veins. But an experienced person can get the access easily. There is no way to produce new veins
