@nurse.christina: No I’m not sticking my patient 5 different times in one day 🙄 *there are of course certain labs you need two sites. #nurse #nursing #nursetok #nursesoftiktok #nurses #healthcare #hospital #ernurse #emergency
As long as doctors are adding on labs that need new tubes every 2 seconds, I’m drawing off the line

Wait, there are EDs that don’t let you draw from the line?

I asked to do this on my unit, (cardiac) and my preceptor looked at me as if I had 3 heads.

It sucks because pts come up from the ED and they don’t understand why the ED nurses pulled from their IV but the floor nurses can’t do that because “it’s against hospital policy.” Plus it makes the IVs go bad quicker.

It's funny because in peds that's the preferred practice to draw from existing PIVs 🤷🏼♀️at least at the hospital I work at

From a phlebotomist even if it is hemolyzed, THANK YOU FOR TRYING!🫶🏼 nobody should ever want their patient stuck multiple times unnecessarily

My ICU a lot of the IV’s are sono. If they dont have an art line or cvc thats all we use. We will place a sono IV just to draw labs from before doing peripheral sticks.

There a reason why they don’t let some places do that? I find these type of rules ridiculous af
