I live just north of Amarillo, Tx and I highly suggest visiting here. I am proud to live in the friendliest part of the world. The people here are very nice and we have great Bar-B-Que. Feel free to email me if you have any questions about my area.

The best advice I got about phlebotomy is to go for the ones you can feel. It is good to know the general anatomy to give you a starting place. I put on the tourniquet, then palpate with only my index finger. Veins feel like your finger is bouncing on a trampoline. I hope this helps. The best way to master something is to practice, so ask friends and family to let you feel their veins.

Where I go to school, we were told to report anything that they might find on our record. I have a friend who was 17 and got in a fight at school with a 16 year old and was charged with assualt on a minor. At the time she was told that it would never show up on her record, but it did even though that charge had been dropped. I would be up front with everything in you past. It would be really hard to deal with finishing school and then being told I could not practice. Good Luck.

In my part of the world( the Texas Panhandle ), the local blood bank often holds blood drives in conjunction with health fairs. It usually take about a month to schedule one here. The Red Cross is another organization often present at our health fairs. If time permits, call the American Cancer Society, American Diabetes Association, Drug/Alcohol treatment centers, or your local health club. I hope this helps. I know that these huge projects are very stressful. Deidre'

I have had the same problem throughout school. I always end up getting of my **** and physically going to the library. From personal experience, the library, can be a very mentally stimulating environment. My work usually turns out better since there are fewer distractions there.

My daughter has had this problem since she was 2 and today is her fourth b-day :balloons: Our pediatrician told us that it had to do with calcim deficiency and rapid bone growth. He suggested calcium soft chews ( 1 a day). This helps if her forgetful mother (me) remembers to give them to her. As always check with your doctor and determine what is the actual problem with your son. Hope this helps.

My sister had this problem, but she was physically ill for at least two days after fainting. Her family practioner kept telling her it was hypoglycemia or hormones from her birth control. She went to the gyno, and found nothing out of the ordinary. The gyno sent her to the neurologist. This doctor finally gave her some answers. He told her she had migraines and her body's response to that pain was to pass out at inopprotune times. I guess my point is, to keep seeking doctors until you get the answers you need to prevent fainting? My sister was put on meds and has not had an "episode" since. Best of luck in your quest for answers.
