Phlebotomy Plus

I am a 54 yr. female that was interested in changing careers. I have not been in a ""class room"" enviornment for over 30 + years! I graduated with a B.A., in the arts, majoring in ""Photography"". I am sharing this b/c my background has always been in the arts and the ...restaurant industry. I made the decision to go back to school last year and after researching careers and schools, i chose PP. My husband and I went to the orientation and we were both convinced that PP was a good fit for me. I also looked into going to Kaiser's program, but was sold on PP. Was this program hard for me, _ _ _ _ YES! All I did was sleep, eat, and study. At one point I even thought of quitting. I discussed the level of difficulty I was having with Miss Nina (head instructor) and she assured me that I could/would pass this program with her help, and my fortitude and determination. I trusted her judgement. All of the times I needed some extra tutoring, she was there (at no charge), she made studying phlebotomy ""come alive"" for me! she was approachable and thorough, AND extremely knowledgeable. Whomever is writing negatives comments probably did not take the program serously. They probably were not dedicated students. They probably were looking for an ""easy"" way out. I am pround to have graduated from PP. Martha... Read More

I was told about Phlebotomy Plus through a friend who went to another school. When I told her that I was interested, she told me that students who went to Phlebotomy Plus were way ahead in their training. I took her advice and went to Phlebotomy Plus in March 2009. I ca...n not speak highly enough about not only the school, but to Miss Nina. Don't get me wrong, it is A LOT of work, but the support there is AMAZING! Nina is always there to help you out. There is adequate lecture and lab time to get everything done.I came back to Phlebotomy Plus in November to help assist in the lab, and ended up taking the EKG/Paramedical course in February 2010, as well. I have never had a more positive learning experience. I am excited for my new career and have Phlebotomy Plus to thank! Read More

What makes this school unique above all is, you can go to other schools, pay the same tuition and not receive the same high standards of recognition by any hospital or lab. My name in Gina and I attended Phlebotomy plus in Walnut Creek December 2009. I was impressed... by their level and standards of education which are recognized nationally as having higher standards of education in the health care field than any other. Upon completing of my class room, lab and testing requirements, I was placed in a clinical rotation - internship in a local hospital which only works with Phlebotomy Plus students because we receive a higher level of education than any other school. The health care industry is a very serious industry. We are responsible for the health and lives of human beings. 1 in 10 patients are mis-identified annually and 1 in 40 result in death as a direct result of simply not identifing the patient specifically. If a student does not pass a practical test, especially because they failed to identify the patient, it is critical to retake the test before passing. If an additional small fee is charged to retake this test, I am sure the student will never forget to identify the patient properly again in the field when they are working with one of your loved ones. I spoke with a student from Bostom Reid who went thru their course, upon completion they were not placed in an internship and could not use their education in obtaining a job! I would recommend this school to serious individuals looking to work in the health care industry. Read More

I was in the October 2009 class. I was so nervous going into it having not been in school in so long but those fears were replaced with encouragement. Nina is an AWESOME teacher! You get all of the information needed you get lab time and lots of practice. If you need ex...tra help Nina is there to support and guide you! As a matter of fact the school is so great that my cousin is flying up from Orange County to attend so that she makes sure she gets the best education she can!! Read More

If you want an education on how to get cheated of your hard earned $2500dollars plus you spend here to get a less than quality education in Phelbotomy, by all means take the class here!! The teacher is abraisive and rude to students-there is not an ounce of care taken ...in quality teaching---you are rushed thru the course in record speed, and then are set up to fail---which then costs you extra $$$$$ to retake classes, your practical, and extend your lab time--this course needs to be much longer and they need an overhaul with the teaching staff----DO YOUR RESEARCH TO FIND A BETTER SCHOOL THAT HAS A COMPREHENSIVE LONGER PROGRAM, --this school lacked integrity, professionalism, and they NEVER demonstrated that they truely were interested in your well being---to succeed---it was evident to many in our class that it was all about the $$$$$$.
