I am a new nurse and your videos are a GOLDMINE! I have watched your videos when I was a student and I keep coming back here and show it to my new nurse colleagues. Best regards!!! Thank you very much!
You're saying don't allow the tubes to be inverted prior to collection, or while you are actively drawing? I've honestly never really considered that, but it makes sense. In a lot of areas our tube storage is just tubes tossed into a bin landing whichever direction they fall, and I don't pay much attention to the direction the tube is oriented when I'm drawing. I'm mostly paying attention to the needle in the arm. Order of draw is your friend with those risks I suppose, but I may need to do some updating to this. Thanks.

Thank you so much. I take a lot of pride in my content and it makes me so happy when I hear that it’s helped someone.
Very clearly explained and demonstrated. Thanks.
You should not invert the tubes because if there is an additive in a tube it will contaminate the next tube and can affect the results
