I am currently enrolled in a Phlebotomy Course and.....?

I finish on feb 14th, I then need to find a clinical where I have to do 100 pokes and my class does not provide this we have to find something on our own, I went into Botsford Hospital and they do not do this, I have called Red Cross they also said no, does anyone have any ideas of where I could call or who would let me do a clinical?
Thank you so much

This is a real problem with many of these so-called training programs that they forget to tell you--not providing clinicals. All you can do is start calling everywhere you can--get out the the phone book. Start with clinical labs/outpatient labs as that is where phlebotomists work and do high volume blood draws (do NOT call them pokes--very unprofessional). You could also try if there are teaching hospitals in your area. Try asking at your program where others have gone in the past as well.Good luck
