SKILLED CARE
PHLEBOTOMY OCCUPATIONAL SKILL AWARD
Phlebotomists draw blood for tests, transfusions, research, or blood donations. They provide assistance when patients have adverse reactions after their blood is drawn.
NOTE: Criminal history MAY disqualify individuals from obtaining or maintaining medial/nursing assistant certifications and/or employment opportunities.
- Prior to determining employability, facilities and agencies must check an applicant's criminal history, Nurse Aide Registry status and Employee Misconduct Registry status.
- NATCEPs are required to check both the Employee Misconduct Registry (EMR) and the Nurse Aide Registry (NAR) and to conduct a criminal history background check for all applicants. Applicants found to be listed on the Employee Misconduct Registry (EMR), or who are listed on the Nurse Aide Registry (NAR) in "revoked" status, or who have a criminal history that would bar employment in a HHS-licensed facility or agency are prohibited from enrolling in a nurse aide training program.
This program is NOT designed to transfer.
