Outside the Classroom Qualities of Great Phlebotomists

Being a phlebotomist is about more than drawing blood. Patient care is crucial, especially your ability to help patients who may be nervous or afraid to have blood drawn. Some of the non-academic qualities you’ll need as a phlebotomist include:

  • Compassion: You must be able to understand patients’ apprehensions and talk them through them.
  • Detail-oriented: Attention to detail is critical for everything from inserting needles to entering results in databases and everything in between.
  • Dexterity: Phlebotomists work with their hands and fingers so good physical movement in your hands is a requirement.
  • Physical stamina: Phlebotomists spend a lot of time on their feet, either taking blood samples or transporting specimens.
  • Emotional strength: You’ll sometimes work with patients who are going through serious health challenges, so you’ll need to be able to cope with your own emotions as you interact with them.
