Summary

I want to be a phlebotomist because it interesting and I like the people. I excel in high pressure situations in a calm and professional manner. Thrive in handling multiple task deadlines with the utmost professionalism and accuracy. I thrive in Moderate Lab Tests and Phlebotomy. I have 7years experience in phlebotomy and 4 years in a moderate lab. I have done every thing from drawing blood to drug screens, urinalysis, centrifuge, cell dyne work, data entry, quality and quantity control, etc… I also have finished a 8 week phlebotomy class at Calhoun Community College and received a certificate for passing. I need a job in a lab to where I can draw 100 patients blood so that I may take the phlebotomy test and get re-certified.
