Wolf Play : ask my babs (OCs)

I once had an elderly pt that was so terrified of the needle itself that I agreed to prick myself with a separate sterilized needle & toss it out to convince her to have blood drawn XD

They'll likely ask you to repeatedly open+close your hand to get the blood pumping, and then hold your hand in a fist, or something similar. As for where they draw blood, it depends but for me it was just below the inside of my elbow.

After, you'll probably have to hold a piece of gauze or tissue over the site as they can bleed for a lil bit!

That was my experience anyway - I can't imagine it'll be too dissimilar though.

I hope that helps some! :0
It'll be just fine, I'm sure.

I will definitly let mine know, just because I don't know what to expect. I've never been able to donate blood or had it drawn before so it's very new

Nurses are usually pretty understanding if you've never had blood drawn before - I'd make sure to let them know!
It's a very quick process in my experience, and if you're nervous, looking away or talking to someone else can help.

It's feels like a little scratch or pinch, and can feel a bit achy afterwards but that usually fades after about 10 mins or so!

I hated having to perform blood draws 'cause many people are caffeine pumped and especially the elderly it's hard to find the vein sometimes :') Glad I don't have to do it much now Iswitched professions

Oof okay
I get light headed a lot (One of many reasons for the bloodwork) so I'll watch for that. I'm drinking water and eating right now because I'll have to fast soon. Hopefully I get a good nurse doing it :)

Thanks everyone
