Phlebotomy

The median expected salary for a typical Phlebotomist in the United States is $29,703.

From what i have read on from the center for disease control, they say that a licensed phlebotomist is allowed to give the ppd test ..

It doesn't seem that that particular charge would rise to the level of being a bar to licensure -HOWEVER- you will have to check with the agency of your state that licenses persons practicing that occupation.

Point of Care Testing

In phlebotomy, each tube has a specific level that it must be filled to. If the phlebotomist pulled the tube off before it was completely filled, that could cause a short-draw. Phlebotomists' sometimes do this to save time. If during the collection the blood flow stopped, and the phlebotomist could not get it to flow again (due to a possible trauma to the vein), and he did not take another sample from another spot. Then that would result in a short draw as well.
