Re: Drawing bloodwork

I always raise the bed up high enough that I'm comfortable standing up without straining my back. Also it let's me lower the patients arm to get those veins pumping.

For some reason, my chances of getting blood drawn and doing IV sticks is less when I'm sitting down. My success rate is higher when I'm standing up.
