I took it and the first day I had to draw blood out of a real person after I did the dummy and a person gets to draw blood out of you! Prepare to lose alot of blood and take alot of blood cuz you do it every class... You also have to know the tube color for about 50 tests they will not teach you every test in the class its something you have to learn. You need to know the names of all of the tests, what they are for, and what color tube they go in, do they need to be room temp, chilled, warmed, sent to testing immediatly or sit for awhile. There is alot of stuff to know and you need to give the class your full attention, its not an easy class.

I'm not a phlebotomist, I used to teach billing and coding at a school that also taught phlebotomy. You have to learn the different ways to draw blood and what test go in which tubes and you have to practice drawing blood on dummy arms. I hope you enjoy it and get a good job after.
