My PCT class instructor was really really bad. She did not prepare us for the exam at all. She went over the book in class, and what I mean by that is literally read the book in class with us and she went over the test questino in class so passing the class was easy. But we had no clinicals and she didn't teach us anything, not any skills, or how to pass the exam and I feel so extremely underprepared.
Can you explain the difference between the blood draw order between Venipuncture vs capillary fill? I missed one because It said Red does not go before lavender.
Comment. CLSI has the order of draw as Blood Cultures/Yellow, light blue, Red, SST/PST, “GREEN,” then Lavender, Gray, Royal blue. Green is before lavender which you did not mention. There is a reason for the order of draw. So why are you different from CLSI?
Yellow SPS tubes are NOT used to save money on bottles. The blood from SPS tubes are transferred to Bottles once in the lab for standard/routine blood cx. So that literally doesn't make sense, because that is actually an added expense to use SPS tubes and transfer devices And bottles. SPS tubes are used when the Cx ordered is very specific and typical CX bottles aren't appropriate. RED tops come before SSTs and the glass red before plastic. LORD if someone draws a Mint tube before a red because you told them separator tubes are next....girl ....shame on you. Griener Vacuette reds are the ONLY reds with a gel barrier. They do not have gold or tiger top SSTS. Their cap is red with a yellow ring. You would have confused TF out of me with this OOD explanation here. NO you can NOT draw all other tubes in whatever order you want after lavender. OMG. Tans must be drawn before gray. Royal blues are either drawn with the serums(red stripe) or with the EDTAs(purple stripe). Royal blues are best drawn from a dedicated stick and NOT included in an order of draw, and even then, when drawing both, you must draw them Red then Purple. ACD tubes will be drawn wherever the Lab says to draw them, and it literally depends on what other labs are being drawn and what test is going in the ACD solution A or B. Also INR is NOT a test unti itself. It's not even a test. It's a mathematical formula the lab uses to interpret the PT result and express the results in a universally understood format. Glucose by itself is NOT put on ICE holy shit. That's lactic acid you dunce! Really? Only CBCs go in Lavs? You sure? Bilirubin and B12 is NOT put on ice. Holy Shit. B12 is also fine under indoor lighting for 4 hours.
1 cup of water. 1 table spoon of kratom. Add water into mouth, drop kratom ontop and get it all wet and just keep putting water back. This will save you alot of money unless you cap it yourself. Don't buy pre filled caps they are Robbing you.
I absolutely love your teaching skills, you are awesome! I have my phlebotomy exam coming up on the 31st, feeling a bit anxious considering this will be my second attempt, first i don’t pass with a 10 points difference. 🤞🏻 your videos are very helpful and instructional.
