Phlebotomy is one of the routine procedures done in medical labs performed by phlebotomy technicians, often referred to as phlebotomists. The phlebotomist's daily routine consists primarily of performing venipunctures, or fingersticks to collected capillary, venous, and sometimes, arterial blood samples into blood collection tubes, blood tube labeling, recording, preservation, and transportation of such.
Many phlebotomy technicians do "point-of-care" testing, enjoying the flexibility, mobility, and different cases. There are currently several openings at mobile and diagnostic testing companies all across the country. Others prefer less patient contact, less travel, and a more predictable work environment, and therefore stay within the parameters of blood sample analysis and laboratory work.
