Is a Career in Phlebotomy Right for You?
Are you considering a career in phlebotomy? The first step is finding the right phlebotomy course near you. DTC’s Phlebotomy Course is an accredited phlebotomy training program that will prepare you to become a certified phlebotomist in less than 6 weeks.
Is phlebotomy the right career for you? Consider the following:
- Phlebotomists should be compassionate, because some patients will be afraid of needles and phlebotomists need to create a kind, soothing environment.
- Patience is also helpful when dealing with different types of patients. The time it takes to draw blood can vary by patient, depending upon a number of physical and/or emotional factors, such as fear of needles.
- Attention to detail is important for phlebotomists. A phlebotomist is responsible for assembling and maintaining all the equipment for phlebotomy, including needles, tests tubes, and blood vials. Correctly labeling the samples and entering patient information into databases is a primary part of being a phlebotomist.
If you are detail-oriented, patient, and compassionate, phlebotomy may be a great fit for your future career.
