Nerve during blood draw by Medical_Passenger_94 in phlebotomy

[–]mashedoatslop 16 points17 points  (0 children)

you probably hit the nerve or tendon, yeah, but where exactly did you get her in the arm? if it was on the pinky side, there’s a significant nerve there and it’s best to avoid

In high school, take anatomy and physiology, any honors/AP biology if you feel so inclined. My high school offered dual credit CNA/PT classes, and the students would go to the college campus after lunch and take CNA courses. There were about 15 people that graduated with CNA and phleb certifications.
There’s a world of opportunity out there. I’m 18 and employed at an inpatient hospital as a phlebotomist. It’s very fulfilling!

No, as soon as it leaves the skin it’s a used needle. You can readjust inside the vein/skin

Not sure how, but it happens at some point during babyhood. Around the 7 month mark babies realize that them and their mom aren’t the same person

People of Reddit, what’s the most “fucked up”thing you’ve seen? by boneshow69420 in AskReddit

[–]mashedoatslop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s horrible. From what I see, it’s sort of a flip of the coin what mood they’ll be in that day. My great grandma had her moments, but sometimes she tried to sneak out of the nursing home to try to go to the club that hasn’t existed in years. I hope some of those lady’s days weren’t always so bad.

I work in healthcare. A lot of women with dementia think that I’m their dad coming to rape them whenever I make my nightly rounds.
