[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 93610, member: 84"] Thanks everyone. [img]:smile:[/img] Jo I think it depends on where you live. In some states you can take just a course in phlebotomy, do the clinical hours, and be certified, others you might still be trained on the job, and still others have to take a full year of other courses along with the phlebotomy. I did the latter. Although I didn't know at the time I could've just taken the darn phlebotomy course. But for someone with no medical education at all, it's probably the best way to go. I have LPN training and was irritated because I could've handled the course just fine without all of the other courses. It wasn't as intense say as one of the nursing programs. Most people tended to have the most problem with medical terminology. But the trick to that is to learn all your prefixes and your suffixes. It feels good to have accomplished a goal. [img]:smile:[/img] Now back to school next quarter. lol I'm taking the pre-recs for the RN program, as well as courses in the Medical Assisting program since I can't decide which way I want to jump quite yet. lol [img]:geek:[/img] Hugs [/QUOTE]
