im not advisng you do it OP but if you do have someone in the room with you. Shit happens and an able body can help you if you pass out with a pin in your vein. just saying..
Yeah I wouldn't do it by myself. Housewoman is an RN she just hasn't taken blood before and I haven't either. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal but maybe I should just let someone else handle it.
