Hello

Just wanted to say that I start an ADN nursing program this fall and work at a hospital as a phlebotomist. Phlebotomy is a knack you have to develope your own technique. What works for you may not work for someone else. It's all about confidence. If you could get into a hospital as a phlebotomist even working every other weekend I would reccomend it. In my hospital the phlebs get to go to all the codes and I have seen and experienced so much from this. Not to mention I know all the normal ranges for bloodwork before starting my clinicals. Goodluck to you.

I've been thinking about taking a Phlebetomy and Medical Assistance course at Harrison Career Institute here in N.J. if I don't get accepted into the nursing program this Sept. I think it's great to have another skill, and possibly get a part-time job...lol. I have inquired about the program and they are going to send me some information.

I statred out as a MA after I graduated high school. It gets your feet wet a bit. However, in most cases it costs more to become an MA then it does for two years of college tuition. It was a total rip-off, but it did get me interested more in the human body and how it works. The pay is very low, I worked in a large specialty practice for 4 years and was only making $8.00 an hour when I quit with no benefits. I wish I'd have went for LPN instead of MA before I started nursing school. The LPN helps you to get into an RN program and somtimes yor can test out of the first semester.
