A. The range of pay varies, but a check on the internet will tell you the range is about $10.00 to $15.00 per hour, depending on where you work, the hours you work, etc.
A. We have 4 scholarships available for the 2012 school year. Information on the scholarships is available on special request from our administrative office. Successful applicants for those scholarships must have excellent grade-point averages and a documented community service history. We currently do not offer any financial assistance or payment plans. Banks and other lenders may make a loan available to you. Look for scholarships from businesses, or community organizations, Workforce Development, Vocational Rehabilitation, or similar agencies in your county. Industries who are closing or putting employees on lay-off may also pay for retraining in another line of work.
A. We do not have a federal “school code.” Only very large schools qualify for the government student loan program. Our small size does not qualify under the government student loan program. The upside to our small size is the personal attention you get in class!
A. Yes, you may switch over at no additional fee.
A. No. Students are not considered employees while they are at their clinicals. Students will be supervised by facility employees while on their clinical rotation and are to perform phlebotomy procedures only in the presence of their supervising staff.
A. Student clinical experience lasts about 100 hours. In that 100 hours a student must have 100 documented successful blood draws and finger or heel sticks. Once students have completed and documented their hours and the required number of venipunctures and capillary sticks they will receive their Phlebotomy Technician certificate and are eligible to take the national certification exam.
A. All classes are important and the student must make every possible effort to attend. Class time must be made up and approved by the instructor in advance.
A. Students must score at least 80% on each quiz and the final exam to complete the classroom part of the course and to be eligible to move onto clinicals. Information is covered in multiple ways so students are able to understand the material and pass the quizzes and exams.
A. That is up to employers, but most will offer a well qualified student a job at the end of clinicals if they have a job opening available. Once you receive your Phlebotomy Technician certificate, you are properly trained as a phlebotomist and most employers require only that a student be trained in a formal phlebotomy program. Employers do prefer to hire Certified Phlebotomists but do consider those who have been set up to take a national certification exam. Our students are being hired prior to taking their certification exam.
A. We will have an extensive, up-to-date listing of available phlebotomist positions throughout our area posted in the classroom at all times. Postings are from Orange, Perry, Crawford, Washington, Harrison, Floyd, and Jefferson counties as well as the Louisville Metro. We also supply references and recommendations for our students upon completion of our program. Many of our clinical sites encourage students to apply for jobs when they complete their clinicals. It is up to each student to make a good impression during their clinicals to increase their chances of being offered a position there.
