Abstract
The article presents the results of surveys of nurses about their knowledge of the basics of venous blood collection. The identified problems are primarily because nurses do not always perceive the pre-analytical stage as an essential part of laboratory diagnostics, the results of which determine the further fate of patients. Thus, additional training in phlebotomy procedure is necessary to acquire and improve professional competencies when performing blood collection from peripheral vein.
