Explain Why I Want To Be A Phlebotomacist

To understand why I want to be a phlebotomist, you would have to know how I got to this point. I have worked five years in pharmacy. Though I love my profession, there is no room to grow in pharmaceuticals. I want a career to advance in successfully. I have a passion for helping those in need and building relationships with my peers. I am ready to take the next step in supporting my family and doing something to make them proud. I started working in pharmacy at nineteen years old. At that point, I wasn't sure what I wanted to do as far as a career. I started out in the production area of the pharmacy filling hundreds of medications a day a long with customer service. Two years later, after my son was born premature with some health issues, full-time work or school was not an option. I started at another pharmaceutical company after my son turned a year old. I worked in the data entry department for one year. I soon realized everyone was sitting in the same desk they started out in. How was I going to get out of that desk? After I had my daughter, post partum fell upon me quickly as I returned to work. I resigned from my position and took a few months off to recover and started looking for work months after. I soon found that phlebotomy was the
most suitable profession for growth with any healthcare establishment. When I worked in pharmacy I helped people of all backgrounds, religions and lifestyles.
I will never forget some of my most beloved patients who fell ill and quickly passed. Having experience in behavioral health, you really have to have a patient and understanding heart. I found myself building relationship with nurses and patients daily. I assisted with the patient assistance program at Southern Pharmaceuticals that helped homeless or uninsured mentally ill patients receive medication. I am hoping with a career in phlebotomy I can be hands on in blood drives or help find answers to medical issues. A phlebotomist may not be the most loved person in the medical field, but they are definitely one of the most
important. Looking back I have been the biggest fan of my husbands career. I gladly put mine aside to care for our children while he attended school and worked a full-time job. Now that he has established a title and an amazing job opportunity it is time for me to do the same. Looking towards the future I want my children to see me as a strong mom with a title. "My mom, the Phlebotomist." I am ready to help my family out financially and work my way through trips to Disney World and college tuition. I have been so blessed to be able to stay home with my babies this past year and really focus on my sons health issues and spend time with my daughter. This certification is the most important thing I can do for them and also myself. A lot of the times I get lost in motherhood and forget to take care of you can be the best mother you can." This is me improving myself so I can be the best mother I can. This is the new exciting chapter in all of our lives. I want to be a Phlebotomist for growth, assistance and stability. All of these things are important in anyones life. I am ready to get out of this desk and and find my growth in the medical field. I once again, want to make an impact on the community and build relationships with my peers. I want to become a Phlebotomist to make my family proud and to establish balance in our home. I am so excited for this opportunity to grow as a person in a field that is forever accelerating. My hopes is to enjoy my profession and participate in continuing education in the future. Like Paulo Coelho said, "When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."
