Since you don't have to have your phlebotomy certification in order to start your career as a phlebotomist, why should you get certified? Because without your phlebotomist certification, getting a job is nearly impossible. California and Louisiana may be the only states that require "all persons who are not doctors, nurses or clinical lab scientists" to be licensed in order to draw blood. But phlebotomy certification tells your prospective employer that you have met the requirements laid down by respected certifying bodies in your field. These certifying bodies maintain standards for education and experience.
