What brand of scrubs do you prefer?
I love the Med Couture scrubs by Peaches. A little pricey but well worth the money! It's all I ever wear now!

Phlebotomy question
You cannot actually attach the tube in the hub till needle in vein or you will loose the vaccumn in the tube! I just stick the pt then put the hub in hand holding the needle & pop tubes with other hand. Hope this helps or @ least makes sense! If butterfly is in the vein good you can actually let go of needle if you are careful! I am 3rd semester nursing student, but did labwork as an MLT for 10 yrs!

Medical Laboratory Technologist
Hi! I was an MLT w/an Associated Degree! I am now starting my second yr of ADN program! Run! Don't do MLT! Just kidding! It was an ok program! It contains lots of micro, immunology, hematology, urology, etc. I worked for about 8 yrs in the lab & was also crosstrained in xrays! Enjoyed it but always felt like something was missing! I originally wanted RN but got sidetracked! There is just limited opportunity with lab degree compared to RN! I would recommend shadowing the fields you are interested in to see what is really involved! Good luck in whatever you decide!

taking A&P 1 this summer, question about the books...
I would email the instructor! He is the only one that will know for sure what is required! All I ever needed for A&P I & II was the book & lab manual!

When to take mirco?
I would take micro in the summer & put off getting pregnant till I graduate! But that's just me! Nursing school is tough on its on! You don't want the added stress of pregnancy & then a newborn! Good luck in whatever you decide!
