Ways to move on
Apheresis and donor collection
Longer, more technical collections at blood centers. A step up in skill.
Pediatric and neonatal draws
Tiny veins and frightened children. Few people are good at it and hospitals hunt for them.
Forensic phlebotomy
Legal blood draws for law enforcement. Washington State credentials this separately.
Travel contracts
Short assignments in understaffed hospitals.
Laboratory technician training
The natural next step. Your draws become someone else's samples, and you go run the tests instead.
