What Causes Difficulty In Drawing Blood From Veins?

Nurses have always had a very hard time getting blood drawn from me. Yesterday my Dr. Needed some blood drawn for testing but the nurse couldn't get anything , so they had me come back this morning to try again they had 2 different nurses stick me. Finally the 2nd nurse stuck me in the top of my hand & they got a little. She said she thought she could wk. with this. What is wrong with me that they can't get blood from me.
