  13. Nurses can't draw blood, its always hemolyzed

    I wouldn't think they would be putting in so many central lines in the ER. It might be the tubes are bad. Or maybe the phlebotomist is using a different needle-set to draw
  14. I have friends who were trained and had most of their nursing career practicing in "the south" and they are incredibly intelligent and all around great nurses. I've met nurses who were educated in the...
