Can you please LET me cut your hair, or do your make up or give you a full body, aromatherapy, massage? Some things were better than others. Those freebies continued for years after I had full skills and got paid by others but I am grateful that people let me DO stuff to them BEFORE I had a clue. Just imagine a bikini wax from someone who hasn't done it before!!! OWWEEE.
Anyway, yesterday I returned the favor for a friend who is in Phlebotomy training, ha, "phleb" just sounds funny to me. "your such a phleb!!" even Ronan cracked a smile and raised an eyebrow when I said the word.
So for those who don't know what a phleb is, I didn't, it's the nice lady who takes your blood and says "just a little scratch" LIAR!!
My neighbor asked and I obliged, here's the picks as proof.
She got credit per poke and luckily had enough after 2 from me or I might look like a watering can today.
The things we do.....

Ha ha ha! Can't tell you how many pokes I've had over the years from newbies. I had so many cantakerous nurses that wouldn't let me poke an actual patient while I was in training that I did very few while I was in nursing school. Consequently, when I precept students, I always give them the opportunity to poke. Better me than some old lady with scrawny limp veins running through her baggy arms.
This just proves what a great friend you are... I too have offfered up my veins to new nurses/students. They have to learn somehow. It is better to guide them while working on me, then while making an attempt on a tiny baby while mom is standing over.....
