Phlebotomy?

Hey guys-

I'm almost done with my 3rd term in my BSN Nursing program. I found an advanced phlebotomy course for healthcare professionals at my local community college. I've never worked at a hospital and the only exprience I have is from my clinical rotations. I know how to start IVs but I've never started one on a real person. I was thinking that maybe this course would be beneficial since I've got very little experience with IVs and it might look good to have a phlebotomy certification on my resume when I go to apply for RN jobs. Do you think that this would be at all beneficial for a BSN student, or do you think I should just rely on gaining experience over time? Thanks!

    We weren't allowed to start IV's when I worked as a phlebotomist, only draw blood (maybe this is only in Georgia or the hospital I worked at? no idea). It wouldn't hurt to take the class for more confidence, but since you say you are already have experience in the hospital from clinicals and are almost finished, I personally wouldn't.
