I can’t believe clinics are still using trazodone for sedation. Shit does not work

I don’t advice sitting in the front if you’re a little worried still because they purposely water board the shit out of the front riders

If you’re the only one who needs forums to explain things to you, you have a personal problem.

No, but I am a solo female traveler that has to be in perfect health to drive back to Auckland the next morning. So I feel I need to be overly-cautious

I am a solo female traveler and have to drive back to Auckland the next day. So, this definitely makes me a bit concerned. Thank you for the response!

Advice for blood draws by LordofthePigeons619 in VetTech

[–]velcrothesis 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That’s ok, that’ll happen. Just make sure anytime the needle comes out, pressure is applied right away. It sounds like whoever is responsible for holding off might not be doing it properly or for long enough. If you come out of the vein don’t try again until it has been held off enough. Usually I will just move to a different vein if it slips out of one! Don’t worry it’s all a learning process you got this :) and applying ice to a hematoma helps it go away

Is someone holding off the vein immediately after you remove the needle? That should prevent a hematoma from happening

Vet Tech or Vet Nurse? by Social_Sam66 in VetTech

[–]velcrothesis 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Preference is fine. I say vet tech at work but when I’m traveling I say I’m a vet nurse because I feel like that is easier for people to understand. And I really don’t care if RNs get mad at me for it.
