Client Review on Bayside Employee Health Center

Feedback:

I had an appointment with them at 10AM. Everything was fine in the beginning but when it came to the blood draw I’ve noticed that the nurse who was taking my blood seemed really unexperienced. She tried to take it first from my right arm and nothing was coming out. I’ve never had any issues getting my blood work done because my veins are very visible (I do exercise every day). Then she tried to take it from another spot from the same arm and it finally started to come out. She took two vials and wanted to get the third one when it stopped again. She literally tried to move the needle inside of my arm to find the vein. I told her that it’s hurting me a lot but she really didn’t do anything about it. I got very scared and started to get dizzy.I’ve done so many blood works in my life and have never experienced anything like that before. I almost passed out in the clinic and their nurse still hasn’t finished taking the blood draw. After 10 minutes of break she tried to take it from my left arm but she couldn’t find my vein again.She was trying to tap it with her finger first then with her nail, which is never heard of. I have two sisters who currently are nurses and they said they’ve never heard anyone doing that before. I felt that the nurse was very inexperienced in blood draw and asked if they have someone else performing the procedure but they told me that they don’t have anyone else. No one should be questioning a nurse performing a blood draw. I can’t even imagine what could’ve happened to someone else in the same situation. I would never recommend anyone going there at least for the blood draw.
