I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drawing blood' is the definition.
'phlebotomy' can be an answer for 'drawing' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'blood' bit.

'lymph too busy nurses conclude job at last' is the wordplay.
'busy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'nurses' indicates putting letters inside (nurse can mean to hold onto or harbour).
'at last' says to take the final letters.
The final letters of 'conclude job' are 'eb'.
'lymph'+'too'='lymphtoo'
'lymphtoo' anagrammed gives 'phlotomy'.
'phlotomy' placed around 'eb' is 'PHLEBOTOMY'.

(Another definition for phlebotomy that I've seen is " taking blood".)
