6. Tips on drawing blood and putting in IV's?

   boobaby42 replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

   When you draw blood, don't go for what you see, go for what you can feel. I know this sounds like a karate lesson, but close your eyes and feel for one. You know where they are supposed to be and you can see them sometimes. But, if you can't feel ...

    I have a bad habit of spelling pus or puss, oh heck, which ever, wrong. Everybody gets quite a jolt reading my notes decribing an infection. Pus filled or puss filled. You decide.

    boobaby42 replied to rncountry's topic in General Nursing

    RNCountry, Please let me know what all the wishy washy BS was all about from that doctor. I am totally confused. I admire you for getting that poor man the care he obviously needed. But, the deal with the doctor went over my head. Why did the doc...
