How to begin clinicals/get hands on learning for phlebotomy certification?

I cannot find a place that can provide me a place to learn how to perform venipuncture and capillary sticks. Where do I look? What do I search up? Who do I ask?

I suggest looking on Indeed, or similar job search sites, as well as local hospitals and clinics, for open phlebotomy positions that offer paid training. Many places will pay for your training and certification if you then work for them afterwards.

I found a local primary care office to set up my clinicals. It took many calls and emails, but your hard work will be worth it! Look for medical groups that have practices in different specialties. Plasma centers are excellent places to gain valuable experience because they use larger needles, and most centers need to check each donor's veins before starting. Don't hesitate to apply for a phlebotomist position at plasma centers. They often train their staff in phlebotomy, so you don't need experience or certification to get hired. Keep going, and you'll achieve your goals!

The best place to look for clinical experience for phlebotomy if your institution doesn’t offer it. Locate your local blood donation / plasma center. Like a Red Cross center. Also look into any teaching hospitals those are usually hospitals with a university attached to them. Hope this helps
