Certified Phlebotomy Technician
Phlebotomists are an important part of any laboratory setting. Oftentimes, they are the only member of the laboratory team that makes contact with a patient.
Typically, phlebotomy technicians are responsible for:
Explaining procedures to patients Drawing blood and applying pressure or bandages after blood is drawn Taking blood pressure, pulse and respiration readings Updating patient records Preparing stains and reagents Cleaning and sterilizing equipment Sending blood, urine and fecal samples to the lab for testing
Phlebotomy technicians must like challenge and responsibility. They must also be accurate, work well under pressure and communicate effectively. Because they work directly with patients, they must notice and relay any important information gained during interactions to doctors, nurses and laboratory professionals.
Phlebotomy technicians work in hospitals, laboratories, physician's offices, donation facilities and other health care settings where blood is taken and analyzed. Some technicians travel to call on patients who are homebound. Much work time is spent standing and walking, and they must be comfortable both in the calm, clinical laboratory setting, as well as interacting with patients who are often stressed by the procedure.
