02012013 Coffee Break Sponsor Renata!

It seems like Renata is on track to establish some sort of record for sponsoring coffee breaks with doughnuts!! I uploaded this picture to the wrong folder, so it didn't get much airtime on Friday or over the weekend. Here it is now in its own little folder! (I think that this is the first term that I have ever gained weight during phlebotomy and I have Renata to thank (?!) for that!) The doughnuts were awesome (from Chuck's Donuts on 4th). Thank you Renata!

How does it feel to draw Simone successfully? Just ask Levanuia, who drew Simone today successfully and added her name to the Wall of Fame! Congratulations Levanuia!!! (Next time let me know before you try so I can get the video documentation!) Good job!

01302013 Syringe In-Service

Today I filmed Miss Terrell's in-service about syringe draws. I didn't get the first few seconds, in which she reminded students to "prime" the syringe (push and pull the plunger several times so that it will move easily when the needle is in the patient's arm) before use.

Meanwhile, keep practicing!

01282013 Lab Stills PROCEDURES!

In the morning, we worked on perfecting our procedures and in the afternoon, we evaluated each other's performances. Remember, phlebotomy is part performance, part art and part science! Speak confidently and give your patient confidence in you and your ability! It was a good day for polishing our lab skills. Look for similar exercises during the next couple weeks leading up to the Lab Skills Test!
