I collect and process accurate blood specimens while providing compassionate patient care.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I've supported diagnostic testing at Sentara by performing venipuncture and capillary punctures for patients of all ages, with accurate collection, labeling, and documentation.
I protect specimen integrity through infection-control practices, PPE use, biohazard disposal, equipment quality checks, and established handling, transport, storage, and processing protocols.
At Bon Secours Mercy Health, I performed specimen collection, order entry, accessioning, centrifuging, aliquoting, and specimen preparation using laboratory and hospital information systems.
I'm a licensed and certified phlebotomy technician who provides compassionate patient education, manages high daily volumes accurately, and helps train new phlebotomists in collection techniques.
