Background: Blood sampling withdrawal is the most frequently procedure performed to neonates at neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). In order to overcome the mortality and morbidity caused by nurses' malpractices that happen during blood sampling withdrawal we need to look at this research point. Aim: this study aimed to assess nurses' malpractices during blood samples withdrawal at NICU. Method: A descriptive study was conducted in NICU at Mansoura University Children Hospital on (80) nurses. Data were collected using structured interview questionnaire and observational checklist. Results: revealed that, over half of the studied nurses' total practical knowledge regarding blood samples withdrawal was unsatisfactory and more than one quarter of the studied nurses' total practices regarding blood samples withdrawal were incompetent. Conclusion: the majority of the studied nurses were lacking knowledge and the minority of them had incompetent practice toward blood samples withdrawal. Recommendation: the study emphasizes on the necessity to train and educate the neonatal nurses in NICU on best practices about blood sampling procedure to get the best in health care of neonates.
