    cjcsoon2bnp replied to mcl10109's topic in General Nursing

    Bleeding normal at time of Mantoux test?

    cjcsoon2bnp replied to Ihoplover's topic in General Nursing

    I've only had mine bleed once and I've had a ton of them, the one time it did bleed is because the nurse went in too deep but I know sometimes it bleeds even if it doesn't go too deep.
