For this post, we've decided to do a tutorial on how to draw blood correctly. This post is especially recommended to all beginners in nursing, for them to have a good guide to learn how to do this technique properly. For a nurse, knowing how to draw blood is a basic skill. At the hospital, every morning blood analytics are requested, and in most cases they may need to go to the laboratory as soon as possible, so nurses have to fill all the blood tubes fast to ease patient care. This video may help students that are learning and are afraid to do it for the first time in a real human and not in a silicone arm.
We are Paula and Andriy, two nursing students in Salamanca´s University. In this blog we will make health care understandable and make yourself involved in your care.
