Phlebotomists and CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants) have different qualifications: Phlebotomists specialize in blood collection and laboratory testing. CNAs provide basic patient care. Neither is “higher,” but a phlebotomist’s work is more specialized in specimen collection.

Finding veins in challenging patients (elderly, children, dehydrated) Managing patient anxiety or needle phobia Maintaining infection control & handling biohazards

Preparing phlebotomy supplies and verifying test orders Patient identification and consent Blood collection using proper technique Labeling and documenting blood samples Ensuring patient comfort and post-draw care Maintaining infection control and safety Transporting or processing specimens for laboratory testing

Experienced phlebotomists may draw 10–20 patients per hour, depending on patient population and collection complexity.

Comfortable, closed-toe, non-slip shoes are required for safety and long shifts in clinical or lab settings.

Verify the patient’s identity and confirm the blood test order before preparing supplies or starting the draw.

Phlebotomists generally do not administer shots/vaccinations. Their role is focused on blood collection, but in some states/countries—additional certification may allow limited injections.

Accurate patient identification and labeling is the #1 rule. Failure here is the greatest source of medical errors.

Phlebotomist 1: Entry-level, basic blood draws, routine collections. Phlebotomist 2: Advanced; may draw pediatric, geriatric, or “difficult stick” patients, process special specimens, train others, or manage supplies.
