[phleb]

After all the stress at home and some about work, i finally start my first day tomorrow as a trainee phlebotomist. I am nervous as hell.

[gness]

Good luck....please don't be nervous. For my sake. I'm having tests tomorrow so don't tell me which hospital you're starting at. :-(

[JonnyBoy12]

Can I come with you to see the results of your work?

Seriously though, I have heard that this is a bl**dy good job!

[boxtops]

I believe you also have to do first aid, in case anyone faints.... but that'll come later :-)

[dickythecook]

You go and stick it to 'em! Good luck!

[humbersloop]

[cazzz1975]

How exciting, I am jealous!

Just relax and try not to worry too much, you will have a great day x

[Barmaid]

The best of luck.

Just remember, the patients will be more nervous than you are!!!!!

[Smowball]

Oh well done and good luck!

[DTCwordfan]

Don't let this lot needle you, phleb, it will be bloody hard work I am sure.

[B00]

What is it?

[mccfluff]

summat with needles and blood is my guess

[stewey]

Phleb, don't forget to release the tourniquet once the blood starts to flow: this prevents hemolysis. ( As he tries to show off his knowledge:)

[boxtops]

venepuncture, B00 - taking blood samples.

[B00]

Ahhh- urgh!

Errr good luck!

[phleb]

haha lol thank you guys, you are all so lovely, and reassuring. I love the cracks. As far as i know phleb is short for phlebotomoy, but i wont risk calling anyone else that in case i get into bother like that minister guy. I am only nervous going out in the awful uniform. Not at all nervous about taking blood from people.

[mrs.chappie]
