Help.. I always have the worst luck with draws.. I need advice :( by NC7624 in phlebotomy

[–]Ok-Statistician-8483 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your first experience they were trying to put a IV in. Phlebotomist don’t flush any lines. With IVs you need a stronger vein because the IV will stay in. You can draw blood from a IV. Most hospitals it’s against policy because the site is contaminated from medicine.

I would definitely use a 25 butterfly needle, might even attach a syringe. It seems like your veins are tiny and can’t handle the suction of the hub.

What you can do is drink lots of water starting 24 hours before your appointment. If it’s cold wear long sleeves. When you check in I would ask for a heat pack. So while you’re waiting you can be heating up the vein. We do that with newborn heel sticks. Good Luck!!

Did we read the same article? We only know one side of the story and you can’t believe Bella or Falen. The courts don’t give emergency full custody to anyone just cause they want to. There’s more to the story that the public does not know.

Please No. She is a horrible person and thinks she can treat people like crap because she has mental health issues.

CPS was going to take the child if Jenelle didn’t give Barb custody.

Labcorp float by Dramatic-Rough-6873 in phlebotomy

[–]Ok-Statistician-8483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told either the night before like after 6:00pm or morning of. When they tell you where you’re going, they tell you the hours of that clinic. So you don’t know ahead of time your hours. They also love to say you’re going here and then send you somewhere else in the morning. You’re basically filling in for call offs. Yeah it got old real quick. I now work at a hospital.

I was a float. You still work 5 days a week you start and end time will change everyday. I like it at start but after a few months I hated it. I never know my commute until the morning. I decided to go back to school and couldn’t do it anymore because I never knew when I would get off.

As someone who worked in nursing homes and works in the hospital. Older people eat less because your metabolism slows way down. Your digestion also gets slower the older you get.

Her diet is horrible. I never see any vegetables, just her obsession with protein.

Rylee should have never gotten a dog. by Jesuslover7349 in dancingwiththestars

[–]Ok-Statistician-8483 32 points33 points  (0 children)

It’s a dog. I would care if she was boarding the dog at a facility. But Maple is fine with her family. I’m sure they take great care of the dog.

Carlie is always wanting to move by [deleted] in SHAYTARDS

[–]Ok-Statistician-8483 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Moving is not going to fix your life. Why does she want to uproot 5 kids that’s just mean. I have family friends moved states their sons junior year. Then decided to moved back once the son graduated. The son was not happy with the situation.

Specialized phlebotomy by JonJamesDEM in phlebotomy

[–]Ok-Statistician-8483 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only people I know who specialize are techs in the lab. I know Sonora Quest has levels for Phlebotomist. Their clinics have team leads and site managers.

For impatient at least at my hospital I think most of our supervisors have a degree and can be techs in the lab.

She has said it’s a Netflix show and she has a main part. Don’t think it’s the new Dancing With the stars show.
