In this case, the old saying, "the more the merrier" does not apply. We can barely get nursing personnel to take care of these lines like they are supposed to, much less an unqualified phleb who does not even realize why we are supposed to do what we do with our lines. To many people accessing lines equals line infection. Plain out and simple.

Thank you to all who answered my question re: wastage. New question: Managers above me are considering allowing the lab to draw from piccs. Do any of you have this process in place? Why or why not.
