What is a Phlebotomist?
A phlebotomist is someone trained to collect blood samples and usually works in a clinic, Doctor's office, hospital or other clinical environment. They are trained to process and analyze the specimen of blood in a Laboratory setting. Often a Medical assistant or assistant Nurse is trained as a phlebotomist as part of their daily routine. Due to the nature of this job, a phlebotomist must be knowledgeable about laboratory safety because of the exposure to diseases so there are strict procedures and guidelines used to process the blood sample.
Phlebotomy Jobs
Most phlebotomist jobs are found in a hospital, clinic or a Physician's office where blood is routinely drawn as part of the daily activities to run tests to determine types of diseases or other conditions. A phlebotomist can also work in a commercial or independent medical laboratory or a home Health Agency as well as public health Clinics. Blood Banks such as the Red Cross would hire a phlebotomist as they are often on blood drives and Research labs are another career path for a phlebotomist.
Drawing Blood as a Career
A phlebotomist has a definite career path that should keep someone employed for many years whether they stay in a doctor's office or gravitate towards public health or research labs. With an aging population that needs more medical care as they grow older it is a career that offers stability and security. Getting known in the phlebotomist marketplace is the same as any career - it requires you to market your abilities and a business card is the perfect way to do that. It is an inexpensive way to advertise and is easy to use by passing it out to current customers or potential employers at professional meetings or gatherings of any kind.
Draw to Your Strengths
Create an image of someone drawing blood or show a picture of a nurse performing your regular work in a laboratory or medical setting of any type. Use color - probably red - to showcase your abilities so that the business card is recognizable when someone is looking for a new phlebotomist they will remember your business card. Creativity is the key to spreading the word that you are experienced and have demonstrated abilities. List your experience or professional abilities on the back of the card to illustrate your strengths.
