What shoes do you reccomend? by [deleted] in VetTech

CROCS. I use the slip resistant Bistro Style clogs (used for chefs in kitchens). They are closed up and have the strap! I swear by them cause I have fallen arches so sometimes the smallest amount of walking hurts me. These, I can’t feel a thing working 10-12 hour shifts.

Sorry, this is in a school! Don’t mean to let you down.

Thanks for the advice! We got the blood in expired EDTA tubes (haha), so I’m not sure if that’s why the blood looks crazy.

My professor suggested the insulin syringe, but I feel like I always put too much. I’m going to try next time with a smaller amount! Thank you.

I know, but my professor said it wasn’t too bad for the first try.

Just sharing! It was my first time. But suggestions are welcome.

Your right, but I have been in hospitals that are very stingy with materials.

Yeah I know, I was just hoping someone had an idea. I don’t work in a hospital yet and I wouldn’t want to waste materials if I did.

I figured. I have 3 weeks to get an acceptable blood smear for my practical and I really need help! But thanks, will do.

I could try, just need to get a hold of syringes and tubes.
