"1, 2, 3...Stick!"

First Hematology (blood) class last night. We hit the ground running and spent our first lab doing venapunctures, aka blood draws. When our professor asked who wanted to go first, I stood on my tippy-toes and shot my hand in the air. I know I looked like a dork and the teacher's pet and whatever else you wanna call it, but I don't care. I told myself when I started, I would try everything and not be bashful about it. I'd like to report that I hit a vein every time...the first try...on all three vein sites - cephalic, lateral saphenous AND...jugular. YES! Go me. :)
