Today the students were very busy! First there was the first major test, then a review of blood tests/tube colors, after which students were supposed to do capillary draws and then A/C blood draws choosing the right color tube for a randomized test requisition form! It's getting more and more like a clinic in the lab every day now! Pre-clinical students from the previous class were also trickling in toward the end, so it was a very busy two hours of lab! One student did his very first A/C draw today and then a capillary draw! (Good job Geno!) Here are some clips of the draws.

Day Five of Blood Draws with More Visits from Pre-Clinical Students!
Today's draws included a number of firsts including in-patient blood draws!
Specimen Handling -- Urinalysis!
Depending upon the healthcare site, phlebotomists may be expected to handle a variety of duties, including specimen handling (urinalysis, fecal facts, etc. in addition to blood specimens) and waived testing (tests that can be run with just a little training). Waived testing is a growing area and familiarity with the methods may give you an important advantage in today's competitive job market!

| From What's wrong with this picture |
In case you missed it today in class, there is a pair of gloves in the sharps container! Please refrain from putting trash in the sharps container. (Also, please never, ever, remove anything from a sharps container! Once it's there, it's there to stay forever!)
