I'm now a home health nurse though spent over 15 years in an ED. I'm teaching another nurse that is new to home care how to do peripheral draws who has never done any blood draw and found your video. Thank you so much!
I just started home health after 12 years in the same hospital on the floor. We always just called the lab for all our draws so now I’m refreshing a skill I did sparingly more than a decade ago as an extern in the ED.
With the push button butterflies needles. You are supposed to press the button while the needle is still in the vein. Cause tge the needle to retract. This keeps the blood from splashing everywhere. It's much safer this way.
Which hand I have to use to draw blood, I am so confused because I see some people do it with left some with right, some with both. Can someone explain me this?
My mom had her blood drawn a month ago with the butterfly and when I saw her last week, that area from her wrist and halfway up to the drawn site (just traces of color further up) is black. the whole inside of her arm. Do you know what might have happened ? thx. Also why you want to avoid the side with sentinnel nodes removed ( if it's done on both sides, what can you do ?)
I have been a nurse for almost 30 years. The first thing I would do is have a doctor look at that arm ASAP. That is not normal. As far as avoiding the sentinel nodes, it tends to further increase edema to that affected extremity. As far as both sides being involved, usually the patient is knowledgeable to tell you which arm you can use. In the hospital, we find out which arm we can use and we attach a "Do not use" armband to the one we cannot use. We also put a sign over the patient's bed so the phlebotomists know which arm they should not use.
I am a CMA and got my certification online, the only clinical/hands on training i never got from my externship was how to draw blood since they don't do it there. I am starting a new job next month that will require me to do venipuncture on almost every single patient - this really helps me feel more confident while i practice on my dummy arm! Do you have any recommendations on where one could go to practice on real people?
When I was 10 years old there was a bio hazard bin for needles to go after they were used. The bio hazard bin exists so no one gets stuck with used needles.

Coz shes withdrawing blood not
Iv cannulation

Thank you great tips

May I ask why your preference is the vacutainer vs the hub? Thank you.
Whichever is available, works the same! 😁
Thank you so much.God bless you!

Hi I am a medical Assistant and in phlebotomy class now
Welcome to caring casa! I was a phlebotomist before starting nursing school. So much to learn so glad you’re here!
Love
Nurse Tina
I am a first timer and want to try to learn as much as i can
This is My story. My first butterfly needle was for my kidneys and it actually felt very good for me, so that’s my story. I hope you liked it.
I’m medical lab assistant student I have hand shaking problems how can I avoid it during venipuncture?
I have the same problem I shake a lot
Am first timer here ,,,thanks for your illustration,,,but illustrate on badging after withdrawing blood sample
Will do, appreciate the feedback!
When I was 10 years old there was a bio hazard bin for needles to go after they were used. The bio hazard bin exists so no one gets stuck with used needles.

Thank you so much
Hi Antoinette!! Happy your here welcome to the channel!!! 🤍🤍🤍
Great video
Thank you!!!
I see you gently pull out the needle when done. But I've seen some pull it out really quick..almost like a snap movement. Make me dizzy later.
I draw my own blood
please send me full module of surgical medical through my email
Thanks so much.
