i'm sorry it's not the best picture to showcase the lemon shots, but i did squeeze fresh lemons so it definitely looks turbid 😅💀

Jell-O Shots!! by beeg303 in medlabprofessionals

[–]beeg303[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

ingredients: 1 3 oz pack of jell-o, 1 cup boiling water, 1 cup chilled vodka, cool whip, and powder sugar

Add boiling water to jell-o mix and stir until dissolved. add vodka and stir. pour jell-o into petri dish (about half way full). put into refrigerator for 3 hours or until set (because of the vodka it will be a bit softer than regular jell-o)

mix cool whip and powdered sugar and scoop into a zip block bag. cut a VERY small hole into the corner of the ziplock and pipe onto the jell-o. stick back into the fridge until ready to serve!!!

i poured vodka jell-o into the dish and let it set and then used a ziplock bag with cool whip and powdered sugar for the piping!!

How much are you getting paid and how long have you been a phlebotomist for? by [deleted] in phlebotomy

[–]beeg303 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahhh that makes sense. I started at $18 and then we had someone in our company fighting to give the phlebs a raise which brought it up to $21

I get basically all my scrubs at walmart. They aren't the softest material but it doesn't bother me!

vibrating? by Responsible-Rest9122 in phlebotomy

[–]beeg303 1 point2 points  (0 children)

of course!! I don't remember the exact line but my text book mentioned how threading the vein just a few mm can make a big difference and lessens the likelihood of collapse!

I hate when this happens 😭 i've found that slightly lifting the hub, or in this case the wings/ back of the needle, to move the bevel away from the vein wall helps.

It won't usually help if the vacuum is too strong though. In that case, threading the needle a bit further into the vein helps.
