That being said, I don't normally draw blood, the lab techs do. When they can't get a vein, then I try. I have not always been able to get it. I have gone through a vein, I have 'blown' a vein before as well. I have missed veins attempting to start I.V.s as well.
Dottoe, we don't dress like the nurse from Animaniacs. We just wear scrubs. No caps. Some facilities do wear white uniforms but not like that. And no one wears heels.
And, bayonet that is actually considered sexual abuse of a patient and an inappropriate patient-nurse relationship.

Sometimes you can feel a slight pop but what it means when the vein blows is that the vein wall 'breaks' so to speak and a bubble of blood or fluid will go into the surrounding tissue. It will normally happen with fragile veins.
