Drawing some blood. This is only my fourth time doing this. If you watch closely, when I put the lavendar top tube in, I pushed the needle a little farther into her arm. The blood wasn't filling in the tube, so I had to pull the needle back a bit.
Comments, please?

  • I love how the girl in the end picks up the tubes full of blood without any gloves on!

  • This is funny, those of you who say you need to invert the tubes, you are actually wrong. Not all of them call to be inverted. Just the lavendar tube. The red has no anticoagulant in it and is just a plain tube, therefore, it calls for 0 inversions. Nice try on making her feel bad though. I think she did a great job for it only being her 4th time.

  • The first time that I did my first blood draw, my hands were shaking so much that I nearly dropped the needle. 22 years later, I don't even think about it.

    When I'm drawing a Chemistry, I don't ask the patient to make a fist-this can cause a false elevation on a K (Potassium) level.

  • Oh man seems so nerve wrecking!! Hopefully I do good in my class -_-

  • @rayray0825 As a lab worker all I have to say is just make sure any citrate tubes (blue tubes) are inverted multiple times. So many nurses get angry when those clot and its most commonly a result of not mixing properly.

  • @oxana104able Well they are vacuum sealed and very rarely come open. Besides they probable trust that none of the blood drawn was infected with anything dangerous.

  • Please tie your hair back.

  • @MrTarik916 OMG I KNOW !! EVERY VIDEO IVE SEEN ON YOUTUBE PEOPLE ARE LEAVING THAT TOURNIQUET LONGER THEN 1 MINUTE!! DID THESE PEOPLE NOT LEARN THIS? SCARY!
