Today was LA mockboards and I had my peer pal help me out and be my pt. She has great anatomy and I think I would have done so much better on her had I not been so nervous. Before I started on her, I was hearing that a lot of the girls that had gone before me had gotten positive aspirations so that made me nervous a little. When I have seen positive aspirations done (I have never had one) but they always shoot bright red into the carp immediately. So when I was giving my peer pal her IA injection I aspirated, waited three seconds and said neg. aspiration because I was looking into the carp and didn’t see a shot of red. I should have waited another three seconds because I had gotten a positive aspiration but just a tiny little drop of blood slowly diffused through the carp and it wasn’t visible for a while unlike the others. So, I failed but I hope that I will learn from this experience and NEVER call a positive aspiration a negative one again!
You are awesome Kayla lol I would have said the same thing
