PHLEBOTOMY

Phlebotomists draw blood for tests, transfusions, research, or blood donations. Some of them explain their work to patients and provide assistance if patients have adverse reactions after their blood is drawn.

QMA

The role of a QMA involves administering both prescription and non-prescription medications to patients and then monitoring their reactions, all under the supervision of a licensed nurse. QMAs start out as CNAs, so they already have specialized training in direct patient care. After earning a certain amount of experience as a CNA (usually around 1,000 hours), those wishing to become a QMA must complete approximately 100 hours of extra training in pharmacology and medication knowledge and pass a written exam to become licensed. Typically, around half of the training involves supervised medication administration
