Least favorite aspects
Watch VideosMy absolute least favorite aspect of being a phlebotomist is the hours. Especially for me, I was working inpatient and all of the doctors wanted their test results by the time they got there at seven in the morning and so we would start our shift at four. Four in the morning to eight a.m. was my shift and there were probably at least five of us at a time doing the entire hospital from four to eight in the morning and we would just go go go go go and I'll tell you what it's really hard waking up at 3 30 to be to work on time and to be able to not only do your job but do it fast enough that all of the doctors have their test results by the time they need them.
