Due to their job nature, phlebotomists may work with children, young adults, the elderly, and even babies. However, depending on your location, you may encounter a specific age group more than others. Also, you may be required to work full- or part-time phlebotomy jobs as requested by your employer.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The bulk of the phlebotomist\u2019s time is spent collecting blood or plasma samples, labeling them before they are taken to the lab, and visiting both examination rooms and the laboratory (to submit or receive samples). To reduce the possibilities of error in most healthcare setups, you will often find one phlebotomist working each shift. Healthcare facilities with extensive setups may have more than one phlebotomist working at a time.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4><strong>Injuries and Illnesses<\/strong><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>As a phlebotomist, you will often find yourself standing for long hours as it is a part of the phlebotomist job requirements. Due to this, people who have worked as phlebotomists for many years often suffer from <a href=\"https:\/\/work.chron.com\/dangers-being-phlebotomist-11999.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">neck and back pains<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>There is also the risk of exposure to deadly diseases that may be contracted from patients. The sharp objects used by phlebotomists to draw blood from patients may cause injuries to a phlebotomist if not carefully handled. When these injuries come in contact with a contaminated patient&#8217;s blood, a phlebotomist can become infected with a deadly disease that poses a threat to human life, such as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or hepatitis B and C.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4><strong>Work Schedule<\/strong><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The work schedule of a phlebotomist depends largely on the location and employer. The description of hospital phlebotomist jobs will differ from that of EMT phlebotomist. Most phlebotomists work full-time. However, those working in hospitals and laboratories may need to work emergency shifts such as nights, weekends, and holidays.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3><strong>How to Become a Phlebotomist<\/strong><\/h3>\n<hr \/><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Phlebotomist career information reveals that to become a phlebotomist, you don&#8217;t need to attend a medical school or attain a bachelor&#8217;s degree (even though that is a plus). While some may still choose to earn a bachelor&#8217;s degree in medical technology in their journey to becoming a phlebotomist, others can enroll in a non-degree phlebotomy program that lasts for about a year or less.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>After your education, you will be required to complete a clinical period working as a student phlebotomist to gain the necessary work experience needed for certification. Certification is not compulsory before you can start looking for available phlebotomy jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>However, it is becoming increasingly difficult for people without certification to get jobs due to employers&#8217; higher preference for certified phlebotomists (either CPT1 or CPT2).

After this, you may choose to enroll in a post-secondary accredited phlebotomy program that usually lasts for a year or less.\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Though some organizations offer on-the-job training for phlebotomists, others may require you to have acquired a professional phlebotomy certification before they\u2019ll hire you.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Those who choose to earn a professional phlebotomy certification from a recognized program and qualify for the best phlebotomist job openings will have to complete <a href=\"https:\/\/explorehealthcareers.org\/career\/allied-health-professions\/phlebotomist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">200 hours of training and education<\/a> (including real-life clinical experience) before sitting for the final certification exam (minimum score of 70% required).\u00a0<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Candidates should also have an excellent grasp of medical terminology, human anatomy, and blood drawing procedures.

However, certification programs are put in place to educate and enable personnel new to phlebotomist jobs to probe further into their careers. Testing procedures for becoming a certified phlebotomist typically require classroom education, work experience, practical classes, and a final examination before issuing the certification. Five significant organizations control certification programs organized for phlebotomists, and they are:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph --><!-- wp:list -->\n<ul>\n<li>National Center for Competency Testing (NCCT)<\/li>\n<li>National Healthcareer Association (NHA)<\/li>\n<li>American Society for Clinical Pathology (ASCP)<\/li>\n<li>National Phlebotomy Association (NPA)<\/li>\n<li>American Medical Technologists (AMT)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":4} -->\n<h4><strong>Advancement\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>There aren&#8217;t numerous advancement opportunities open to you as a phlebotomist once you become certified.
