A phlebotomist is a member of the healthcare team that is responsible for collecting blood samples from patients which are used as one of the tools to help diagnose health conditions.
It can be a very rewarding entry-level position, especially for anyone who would like to learn more about healthcare for making career decisions. This course will set you apart from others without experience. Our course does not lead to certification, as certification is not required to practice in the state of Nebraska.
