One common skill you may perform as a nurse is blood collection. Patients often need labs drawn to monitor their health or treatments, and while some facilities may have a dedicated phlebotomy team, this is still an important skill you'll want to know as a nurse.

In this video, Nurse Sarah demonstrates blood collection procedures (also called venipuncture, blood draw, etc.). You'll learn common supplies used, the order of draw, the anatomy of a lab tube, how to apply a tourniquet, how to insert the needle, collecting blood into a lab tube, bandaging the site, and more.
