What is a Phlebotomy Technician?

A phlebotomy technician is typically an interchangeable job title for a phlebotomist. Phlebotomy technicians have several important roles in the phlebotomy field that starts with interacting with a patient and ends in the laboratory. In between, a phlebotomy technician will have to go through several job tasks each day to make sure they’re getting their job done correctly, efficiently, and safely. 

How much can a Phlebotomy Technician make?

-On average, how much you can make as a phlebotomist depends on how often your work. One of the great things about becoming a phlebotomy technician is that you can often have a flexible schedule, allowing you more time for schooling, family, etc. Most on-staff phlebotomy technicians will make an average of around $16.50 per hour.

- If you become a full-time phlebotomy technician for a hospital or other medical facility, you’ll likely receive a standing salary (and as a result, benefits, which should be factored into how much you’re making from your job.). As a full-time phlebotomy technician, you can make an average of around $32,000 a year.

- Again, this is an entry-level position with tremendous room for growth, so as a starting point for a career, the salary is a perk. Even if you move up to a supervisory position in phlebotomy, you can make around $45,000 a year, so sticking with the career can have many rewards in a very short amount of time if you make attempts to advance in your position with promotions.
