I just finished school last week and passed my exam . I watched your videos throughout my entire course. I’ve been really bummed out that I haven’t received anything back kinda regretting that I even took the class . But thanks for this video it gave me a little hope .
Don’t have regrets about completing the program. Keep moving forward and don’t give up. I have students who got hired after months of looking. Some after a year. Keep going and keep educating yourself.
Use this in conjunction with taking another course. Ive already been an EMT for 13 years,so when I go for phlebotomy interviews I plan to kind of put it out there that I've already had thousands of hours of patient contact and field experience.
This should help a lot a bunch of ppl. I just sent you an email. This is great to know. I was skeptical about what to do. Of course work related. Thank you for your words
Bit late on this video, but thought is inquire. I'm doing light phlebotomy at my CNA job now. Right now only working with butterflies, but done around 100 sticks, along with skin punctures for Accu check. I am going to school for phlebotomy in September. Will my phlebotomy done as a CNA count as proper work experience? For anyone curious, I work overnight so they had us do on the job training to learn basic phlebotomy. Mainly light green and lavender tubes, sometimes red and gray. Never cultures and rarely on ice. Thanks!
Very good advice. I just finish my phlebotomy course and I’m little bit insecure about language. I’m not American and I have to dwell with lot of medical terms . Those are new for me. Could you give some advice about this ? Thanks
Olivia A-Van Boekhout The best advice I can give you is to be confident. Do not let the patient see you afraid or insecure. Even at your interview, be confident and willing to learn. If you don’t know something don’t be afraid to let them know that you will look it up or check for the answer. Keep good eye contact and be friendly. Smile too.
Great video thanks for the tips. I did Phlebotomy course on udemy online, can't get a place yet to practice even as a volunteer to learn practical, any advise for me, i live in the Caribbean..
Good advice for newcomers to the field. Do you think it would also apply to those of us with uneven or discontinuous or gaps in our experience? For 9 years 'I worked as a MA at a hospital during the day but blood draws were done by the lab; so even though I could have done them, I did not. Furthermore I learned phlebotomy on the job and was grandfathered in. , Simultaneously, I worked 2-3 evenings as an MA at a free clinic where I did do blood draws daily. Then I left the area and moved; my new medical job trained me as a sterile process tech & surgical tech. After 10 years, I miss the pt interaction, so I am returning to MA /phlebotomy. I finally took a formal phlebotomy class and passed with the highest score. I just finished an internship (64 hours) during which I did 73 draws. I also did POCT and MA work with pts. Should I mention all this experience? Some of it is very old.
Thanks Mr. Garza. Because I have been out of the field for a while, I was going to apply for entry level positions but am concerned that I might be "over-qualified"
Good, solid video, thank you for posting. I'm working on becoming a PA, and I need 2000 hours of HCE. I'm leaning towards phlebotomy, would it be advisable to be upfront about this on my appliacation and/or interview?
RedHermit Yes, you should mention that in the interview. The majority of places like to hear that you are continuing your education. Be open and honest. Thank you for the comment.
Is the order of draw different by state? I'm from Barbados and I want to take a one year phlebotomy course here and the program is affiliated with America etc we do the ASCP exam here. My question to you , do you think I can find a job in America and will they pay for my work Visa?
Great advice! I'm in the UK and I have just become phlebotomy certified and also did some live blood training on the phleotomy course. There's not much work online at the moment. Would you recommend taking a resume into hospitals and blood clinics? Thanks.
Debbie Perkins Thank you. If Hospitals and blood clinics welcome walk-in resumes, then yes. That would be a great way to introduce yourself to them. But most in US take only online resumes. Good luck.
Hello I’m trying to become a instructor can u please send me ideas on what I need to know to pass Pre assessment test I must get a 85 or higher ASAP please test is Schudule for next week thank u luv your videos need help
Toya Williams The biggest thing I can say is always look confident and know your information. You need to make sure you know what you are doing and saying. I don’t have anything regarding the test itself. But good luck 👍🍀
Smiley Jpg Everything still applies, you just need to have the confidence in the interview and that you will be a hard worker since you have never had a job. Tell them why you became a phlebotomist and why you are entering into the workforce as one.
I am currently studying with an online phlebotomy class (not Pheb. Solutions) in a state I do not live in. I can't even get anyone to let me come in to do my 30 draws to complete the class! Amer. Red Cross won't allow me because they offer their own class. Hospitals offer their own as well or they are affiliated with colleges and only accept students or externships from those colleges. I'm sorry I didn't know that before I started an out of state online program. I feel I'm stuck and will most likely have to enroll(spending more money) in a local program just to be able to complete the program so I can continue into the job market.
Asoom Ab There are great books on Laboratory and Diagnostics testing procedures. That book with Phlebotomy Essentials 7th edition would help you a great deal.

@@PhlebotomySolutionsYeah but what about bills lol

Aprile as always Thank you. Help spread the video to those who need it.
@@PhlebotomySolutions I will and thank you
This should help a lot a bunch of ppl. I just sent you an email. This is great to know. I was skeptical about what to do. Of course work related. Thank you for your words

That is tough. Just keep looking at clinics and labs for volunteer work. Keep practicing with plastic arms if you have any.

B L Any and all experience is worth mentioning in an interview. Your resume should also reflect your experience for the position applying.
Thanks Mr. Garza. Because I have been out of the field for a while, I was going to apply for entry level positions but am concerned that I might be "over-qualified"
B L no problem, you are welcome
I corrected the hours. 16 hours were non-pt contact hours like daily briefings and errands.
I live from India I see this video good
Thank you for watching.

I have my certificate but little experience.
Thank you I kinda was worried....
This was so helpful
DejaAdor Thank you, I am glad it helped.

nurse Alexander The order of draw does not change.

Great, thanks
Is this the correct order before i memorize it? Light blue, red, gold yellow, green, dark blue, lavender purple, pink, grey.
Blood cultures are always first and lavender is before dark blue the then gray and pink.

What if you’ve never had a job before?

Tammyg Try to get your own insurance through Mercer Proliability and go to smaller clinics where MAs work. You might have a better chance.
Iam a biological student and I want to complete in the medical laboratory so I want some book to increases my knowledge
Asoom Ab There are great books on Laboratory and Diagnostics testing procedures. That book with Phlebotomy Essentials 7th edition would help you a great deal.
