No go. Born in Subsaharan Africa.

 

I'm an RN in ICU (a nurse) and we (nurses) don't draw blood in our hospital. They have phlebotomists for that and they're not nurses or anything special that requires any schooling, only a little training. Most hospitals in the US are like that and use phlebotomists. Nurses do put in IVs though :evilgrin:

hahaaha what??

 

It is pretty common for people with health abnormalities and rare blood to stockpile their own blood at a hospital for their use only if they know they will need it in the near future.

Every 3 months. There is a united blood services near me. They always call me because there is something about my blood they like because they can give it to babies. I think because it is CMV negative or something like that.
