08052013 (OMG... Tube Chart COOKIES!)

Who knew that there could be yet another fun and engaging way to learn the tube chart? Jennifer turned the challenge of learning the tube chart into a deliciously delightful, delectable delicacy with these cookies!
I'm going to want to stock the lab with these, Jennifer, are you ready?
Don't forget your sterile tubes (blood cultures) will be drawn first!
Learn the ETS order first (Sterile, Red, Lt. Blue, Gel tubes, Lavender). Then swap the Red and Lt. Blue for Syringe Order of Draw. Lastly, Capillary draws (for microtainers) are not used for blood cultures or coag studies. Because of clotting considerations, the Lavender tube is drawn first, followed by the gel tubes and lastly by the red, where the blood would clot anyway... If you're still struggling, try doing your nails again at the Order of Draw Salon!
