Is it a must to change the needle after sucking out juice?

i'm curious also since I have never injected so far.

no, you always want to be able to see just a tiny bit of the needle. i would never go all the way to the plastic.

and ppl, please stop saying "suck out the juice". it's called DRAWING UP. you draw up a medication in a syringe.

also, to the guy that used the same pin to draw for a full cycle...what do you think grows on that pin when it sits in your medicine cabinet? THAT is dangerous. Now drawing up and then injecting with the same needle isn't going to introduce bacteria because your solution is sterile and you should have sterilized the top so it's all good.

Anyone ever had a nurse change out a needle after she draws up an injection? In our office we don't. The only times needles are ever used to just draw is if it's not going into a patient and then we use 18g to draw it up and then inject it into a piggyback or something like that.
