You guys should set up in front of New Belgium brewing. You should get plenty of takers with "reduced inhibitions."
Good Luck!!!
Good Luck!!!
Poke ya with a needle!!! Don't worry, if you've donated blood before you know they use huge 16 gauge needles. We will be using 22 or 23 gauge which are much smaller! And you only need to be poked once or twice! But since you're in CA, I guess the trip won't be worth it lol!Free food and drinks.

Haha, well I don't think we are gonna do any blood alcohols. And I guess people would be more inclined to donate their arm to use, but we are gonna keep it clean!You guys should set up in front of New Belgium brewing. You should get plenty of takers with "reduced inhibitions."

Aww too bad
So I took my practical and I was so nervous my fingers and toes got really cold and felt frozen stiff
Well anyways, I think I did the venipuncture and bleeding time tests okay, just cuz I could see the person marking things off. But the fingerstick got me I think, cuz it was the first test and I just totally blanked. Practicals make me very nervous...

No way I would be of any help,even if I were close. I hate needles!
Whut?!No way I would be of any help,even if I were close. I hate needles!
My teacher said if we offered tasty food, people would come swarming by the thousands and let you poke them a bajillion times!!!
I would rather pass on free food, if it meant being stuck & probed with needles. I had to have a procedure once where they go to the artery...arteriagram?{sp} Anyway, they probed and poked and all that. I wound up with a super black bruise as long as my forearm...no thanks!:icon_eek:Whut?!
Well, today I managed to stick 12 people even though teacher wanted us to do 15, though some of my classmates were stuck many many times because not many people volunteer to come or if they did they only wanted the person who invited them to come. 11 of the 12 were successful sticks, better than what I was expecting...
I myself got stuck 6 times... so I am drained of at least 60mL (4 tablespoons) of blood. It's not that much, but I feel extremely tired and my fingers are really really cold right now. No bruises, but my arms are tender and sore
So join me tomorrow if you can. Please come 1 hour before closing time, because teacher may let us out early again, and I don't want people to showup and then we aren't there.
Sleeeepyyy....

Yea, it was hard to get people to come in. Some of my classmates were pretty successful bringing family members and friends. My teacher said this is the first time the attendance has been low. She said usually food would bring people in!!
But anyways, I totally understand if people don't wanna get poked. Couple of the ones I had done on myself did kinda hurt. Of course, I don't know how bad mine are because no one told me if it hurt or not, cuz everyone wants to be nice.
I'm not really looking forward to tomorrow and Wednesday, since I will probably be poked again and again on the same spot. My arm hurt if I hold my arm out straight or if you touch it... from being poked like right on the same exact spot since people can only find my cephalic vein. I guess I could let someone do my hands, but everyone who had IVs done keep saying how painful and how it bruises easily and I got really scared since I'm not very pain tolerant.
I have like track marks on where all the needle holes are, everyone was joking how we all are druggies because them. lol

Well no one came, I couldn't convince my parents either haha. I don't think wanted to drive up here anyways. I bought a small tray of Chick-Fil-A Spicy Chicken Nuggets as my food donation... it was gone in a flash!! Some people let people poke them over 20 times through out the 3 days!!! I myself got poked 9 times in the three days. Uggggghhhh.
It was very busy yesterday. I guess cuz it was not early in the morning!
Anyways, I managed to stick people 23 times, with two of them being unsuccessful. I start my clinical rotation after Thanksgiving break. So yea, just so you all know if you are getting blood drawn anytime between Today and December 14 in Fort Collins, Loveland, Greeley, or Longmont you might be seeing one of us. Soo, don't think you can escape!!! Yaaaaaaaaarrrrrr
I guess you are safe if you aren't having your blood done in one of those cities..
