1001 Videos

Today, right in the middle of our lab, we had an unexpected visit from Neil Foltz's LPN class. There must have been around ten students in all and some of them asked to be drawn twice! We were happy to see them and would like to welcome them all back soon! Our CPR/1st Aid schedule has blacked out Monday Tuesday and Wednesday next week, but we would love to accommodate them next Thursday or Friday during our lab time. Team Phlebotomy should be up to speed by then so I think it will be possible to do up to four draws on each LPN student, if they wish to do so and if it doesn't bankrupt Mr. Foltz's budget for extra credit! Here are today's videos...

0928 Lab Videos

I recorded quite a few draws today... You guys are looking better and better! The first video is a pan of the classroom when we were working on choking procedures in pairs.

Enjoy!

0927 Lab Video

Here are today's draws... (Just the ones that I was able to capture....)  If I haven't videoed you yet, I will soon!

Enjoy!

0927 Lab Rotations

We continued with our rotations today, but remained in the classroom and lab. I caught a few good blood draws on video and here are a few stills.

0927 David Grant

David Grant paid the class a visit to share his life on dialysis and subsequently successful kidney transplant experience. Our budding phlebotomists got a chance to palpate his A/V (arteriovenous) shunt or fistula and ask questions about his fistula with respect to phlebotomy. It has been an exciting few days, with the on campus visit of PSBC on Friday and Mr. Grant's visit today. It has been a nice way to distract ourselves without too far off task right before tomorrow's test!
Enjoy!
