During my career as a phlebotomist I have worked in hospital settings, obtaining blood the spectrum of out/patients, specialty areas to include NICU, ICU, Hospice, OB, Trauma ER, nursery, and extended care facilities.  Laboratory skills include, throat culture collection, nasal culture collection, plating of urine specimens, strep specimen, set-up of Sed-Rates, collection of hematocrit  specimens, processing occult blood specimens, centrifuge all blood specimens, as well as, pouring off and storing serum and plasma specimens.  I excel in organization, and utilization of my workspace in an independent lab setting.

My career as a phlebotomist I have learned to empathize with my patients, I treat each patient individually making them the center of attention.  Pediatric draw are treated with respect walked thru the steps of obtaining the blood specimen, explaining "crying is allowed, however they to concentrate on sitting still."
The patient is the utmost of importance.  My goals are to one day become a Lead Phlebotomist or Medical Assistant that also works in the laboratory processing CLIA waived test and processing all specimens.
