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.
