When we are in school, we are taught one way. I have worked for several hospitals in the same state and some out of state. I found out it is not just one way of infusing the blood. It depends on the facility and their protocols. Now, in addition to that, you do need to adhear by safety precautions, know your math, do all of your checks, ect. It is okay to contact your clinical educator for your unit and she will varify how they give blood in their facility.
