hey! I’m going into semester 3 for practical nursing. My police check and TB expired (literally 2 days ago) and so I’ve uploaded my new police check. My TB however I can’t do until end of august as Im leaving the country tomorrow until the 27th. I mistakenly thought that we just had to have synergy completed before our clincial placement (especially if it was just the single tb test) and so I planned to do it after my trip. I also didn’t think it was an issue for it to be expired while on break/while not at a placement. First semester we had an actual due date of when we needed to upload everything by. I’ve emailed and explained the situation but am I still going to get placed? My Tb will be expired for only like 14 days lol

hey!

I'm in nursing school and still learning lol. When drawing medication from a vial, I put air into the syringe (if I need 1ml ill put 1ml air in), then clean top of vial, put needle through, invert, and push the end of the plunger. then draw fluid. i usually get air (bigger bubbles that seem too big to tap out). Is it okay if I push the fluid back in and redraw? pull up to 2ml lets say and push up and adjust (and get maybe 1.2ml). I usually can get the right amount with no air bubbles on the third try. But i'm wondering if pushing fluid back (without removing the needle from the vial) into the vial is safe? And then I usually tap out the small bubbles, change needle, and then prime with the extra fluid (the 0.2ml for example) to get the correct amount of 1ml. Is that fine? any other tips?
