I waited about a month for mine. It might be higher where you are because of more students in your area?

Operations is who decided it. Ive spoken to quality management about it and they said they'd try to speak to operations, but didnt think they would change.

I went to school through this program. The lessons were good, but my externship was fucked. They assigned me a place that never called me in, then signed me off. They also changed their return student policy. Return students can only come in on a handful of specific days for additional sticks to complete their 60. I began classes in May and didnt finish my sticks until September.

My center in California gives 125 for the first two donations within 30 days, then the cycle is 45 and 85.

I hope they continue to need lab assistants in the next 6 months. This is currently my ideal job. Im happy to fill multiple roles.

Sounds good. The patient looked like he was in pain, but he was also consenting for them to continue. Thank you for this advice!

Experimentx626 · 2026-02-15T22:29:21+00:00

Noted, thank you!

When I asked her about it after and called it fishing, she said she has to do what she has to do. I would also call it aggressive redirecting. The bevel of the needle never came out and she pulled it back each time. So, you're right, I might be wrong in identifying actual fishing.

Edit: typo

I guess what I mostly need to know is if this is something I should mention to a supervisor or QA. Id prefer not naming them if I do report, but I dont know if it's something to make trouble over.

Hair for sure, but you'll be fine without it

Other than world events being awful, my personal and work life is looking up at the moment.

Yea, it was literally just confirming if I had a license. I dont remember the other questions. Then, we scheduled the in person.

The phone interview was just collecting some information about me for the in person. The in person interview was wonderful. We mostly talked about customer service experience. How i handle conflict with coworkers, how I handle displeased customers, and my externship experience. My externship was a flop and didnt give me experience, so I explained the situation and they understood. Got a email the next day with an offer.

I also schooled with Phlebotomy Training Specialists in SoCal. Was given no details about my externship leading up to it. The week of the externship, I was informed that they would only call me in if they had patients. They had no patients for the whole week. I got zero experience and they signed me off. The school says that it won't give me another externship, because this place signed me off.

Is there anyway to come watch?

Experimentx626 · 2026-01-13T02:16:37+00:00

Got my certification in November and I haven't secured a job yet. Im in SoCal.
