Was at a ped appt with my 10yo. She needs a blood draw for 3 tubes and she has just impossible veins, cant see them, cant feel them.
I knew it was going to be a hard stick and she was VERY nervous and scared.
Two nurses, three sticks with digging around in the vein each time.
Dd did GREAT, me.....I ended up passing out!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(after all that, they didnt end up getting anything...)
Sheesh.....what is wrong with me? I can watch surgeries without a prob, can dress amputated toes, give shots, administer IV's, can stomach almost anything (well...except mucous!) and during a simple blood draw on my child I pass out?!?!
How am I gonna be a nurse if I'm passing out on blood draws?
