So I'm a recent phlebotomist graduate, I'm 18 and planning on moving to Montana next year, I'm not sure where though. I've thought of Great Falls, Malta, or Lewistonw Montana. I like the small town scene, love the outdoors, gardening, and I love art. I plan on one day opening a pottery shop and continue working in the medical field I love those two things with a passion. So if anyone would be able to give me a word of advice, please it would be much appreciated.

I'm in my sophomore year of college and trying to find a job in the hospital. I do not have much experience in the hospital field, though I am studying to be a nurse. I'm doing my basics right now....I Know a lot of jobs prefer degree/certificate. I was told that a technician job is a possibility, such as a monitor tech. Are there any specific jobs I can apply for in the medical field being a college student with not much experience? THANKS!

I would like to return to education and get some medical qualifications (Nothing too advanced, I'm not aiming to be a Brain-Surgeon lol) But unfortunately because I myself am epileptic, I can't get a job as a paramedic purely because it is photosensitive epilepsy and the flashing ambulance lights effect me. Still if I got the same qualifications, is there any other jobs opportunity's for somebody like me?

I am a 22 year old Biology student would like to get a job as a phlembotomist or in the laboratory over the summer. I don't have much work experience but I have been exposed to many different kinds of laboratory techniques (ELISA, RID, PCR, more ) and I would like to put this on my resume. I would like to just avoid putting a work history part in the resume all together, since this will be my first job in the health field. Would this be acceptable?

I'm looking into getting certified in phlebotomy as it has been recommended to me by a friend who thinks I'd do good at it. I do need to get into a job as quick as I can. I'm currently in college getting ready to start my dental hygienist program but I haven't started yet. I've found 2 places I could get certified but one says that it's only available to Professional Healthcare Workers only. Is this a norm? Also is the job very stressful?
