I’m about to begin my phlebotomy training next month, and I’m really excited but also a bit nervous. Any tips on what to expect during class or how to practice properly would be super helpful. I just want to make sure I’m ready when I start dealing with real patients.
You’ll get comfortable with it really fast — just practice your draws on a friendly volunteer or even a fruit — i remember feeling nervous, but it helped me a lot to visualize my technique before going to class. Just keep your focus on building confidence; you’ll be dealing with real patients before you know it.
