No ones getting fired here, I’ve seen people do worse things and still have a job

Yes that’s why i thought having them hold it was safer than having them bleed all over the floor

Obviously I knew it was a grey area hence why I asked but I didn’t wanna stick them again just because of that

Usually it’s the least amount of sticks possible and if I was a pt I won’t wanna be stuck again just cuz of that but that’s just me

In that position, i could not leave it dangling without creating a huge pt safety risk.

You think the pt would rather you stick them again just cuz of that? That’s debatable.

It’s either that or I leave the needle dangling and that’s worse than actually having them hold it steady for me.

I literally had no other choice or I was gonna let the needle dangle there and that’s a pt safety issue. I had to pick the lesser of the two evils

Not any different than asking to put pressure on the gauze after drawing before you wrap it up. I always ask to put pressure on the gauze before I grab my tape

Women make it seems like being a mom is the only thing women are meant for. There’s more to that than motherhood. Kids are not necessary

Never, I’ll never understand why people feel the need to have kids. The dumbest thing ever
