Kathleen’s Answer

Hi Moe! Phlebotomy is a critical job in the healthcare field. Nearly all diagnosis and treatment decisions are made based on lab results and those results are only as good as the specimen that was collected. So it is very important to get a good specimen. As a phlebotomist you are the first step in that process. You may also be able to perform some point of care testing or waived and moderately complex testing with on the job training that will make your work more varied and interesting. And you might find a job that will help you with your education to go on to become a laboratory technologist. I am currently retired after 50 years as a lab tech and I loved every aspect of the job from Phlebotomy and other sample collection to testing, calibrating instruments, and performing quality assessments and training staff. The field needs workers...go for it!
