EXPERIENCE

As a Phlebotomy technician my responsibilities would include being familiar with skin puncture, venipuncture, collection techniques. I would collect the specimen and prepare blood samples which will undergo laboratory testing. I have an understanding of safety procedures which must be followed to prevent the spread of infectious diseases when handling and collecting blood samples. As a phlebotomist another duty trained and performed was to accession all lab specimen and locate them to their necessary department for testing. Futhermore training included traveling to different nursing homes in the area to also obtain specimens needed for appropriate testing. I also was given the opportunity to train and learn all secterial duties in our laborotory. Secretarial work involved standard administrative responsibilities, such as answering phones, making copies, faxing test results, scheduling appointments and maintaining supplies. Additionally, lab secretaries register patients, file and copy all paperwork, order test and coordinate billing.

I conducted the sleep study, sleep events and disturbances were documented during the study, reviewed the results, and created summary reports that guide the care of the patients. Before testing I would calibrate the equipment to ensue that it is ready to use on patients and spend about an hour prepping the patient for the study. At times as a sleep technician I would assist in the scoring of the patients sleep study.
