Abstract

Venipuncture is a skill that is often required in the field of nursing, but not typically included in nursing curricula. This results in a lack of student nurses' self-efficacy in regard to performing phlebotomy. By incorporating a hands-on training, self-efficacy will improve, benefiting both nurses and patients.
