When you’re in a program to earn your certification, you
may be enjoying the courses and the work, but you may be dreading the phlebotomy certification exam. Many medical
professionals, particularly those that want to work directly with patients, are
extroverts who truly enjoy interacting with people. Phlebotomists are typically
very kind and compassionate people as well. On the flip side, you may also be the
type of person that shies away from exams or feels the pressure when taking
tests. Here are a few tips for gaining confidence as the test day approaches:
·
Keep a journal as you go. Recounting your work
days and identifying the things you are very good at the areas that may need
some attention is a good way to stay engaged with the program overall, and thus
feel more confident on the test.
·
Don’t procrastinate. Make sure you have access
to study materials as early in your program as possible in order to schedule
time to study over the course of several weeks or even month in preparation for
the phlebotomy certification exam.
·
Find a relaxation or focusing technique that
works for you. Whether it is deep breathing, visualization, or whatever, take
some time to practice calming yourself and setting your focus so that you can
approach your exam with a clear head.
