Data Retrieved from Salary.com on July 10, 2019<\/p>\r\n Before you make plans to move to Alaska, New York, or California for the higher salary, remember that higher salaries usually mean a higher cost of living in the area. However, this chart should give you a good idea of what might be considered a fair salary in your state.<\/p>\r\n Next Steps<\/h2>\r\nNow that you know about being a certified phlebotomist, it is time to think about the next steps:<\/p>\r\n \r\n- First, if you do not have a high school diploma or GED, get one! All states require that minimum level of education. If you are not 18 yet, you may have to wait since many states have a minimum age requirement.<\/li>\r\n
- Decide where you want to work. If you plan to move to another state to work, do your research and know the regulations in that state. The state board of health website is a good place to start when doing research.<\/li>\r\n
- Look for a good phlebotomy program. Do you have one close to you where you can get a classroom education?Alternatively, does an online program better fit your lifestyle?<\/li>\r\n
- Remember, if you live in a state with reduced or free tuition, find out if a phlebotomy course is covered. Otherwise, you will want to be sure you know how you will pay for your course.<\/li>\r\n
- Apply for positions at local hospitals, labs, and doctor\u2019s offices. Often, an employer will help to pay for your phlebotomy education. A hospital may also offer phlebotomy training for its employees.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
