Work History
Phlebotomist II & CLA
Intermountain Health Care, Alta View Hospital
01.2022 - Current
- Working in a hospital I performed venipuncture on very difficult patients including those who have been through chemo, IV drug users, newborns, and geriatric patients
- This has helped me to become very proficient in blood draws
- I do weekly blood draws at a nursing home giving me extensive geriatric experience
- Phlebotomy also entails ordering the tests from requisitions received directly from doctors
- Often this means communication through writing as well as verbal
- I also inform the patient on what the correct processes needed for required procedures
- I have also been trained on processing as a clinical lab assistant
- I really wanted to further my knowledge and my career so I can better help my team and my patients
- It has helped me understand the tests that I am ordering and to be able to communicate more extensively doctors and patients about the tests that are being performed
- Training has been an essential part of my career
- Teaching students and new hires, showing them the correct procedures that I have learned to be more efficient and better take care of patients
- Training has also been important for my own personal growth and professional development
- I have also been trained on IVs, I place them on patients in the ER, med surge and in the ICU.
