    Phlebotomy trainging/school
    Now that I have my GED, *YAY ME! *
    I have decided that after the holidays I am going to go into phlebotomy. I checked all of my options, and this field interests me, and I would be extreamly good at it. And it won't take as long to finish training/scholing as it would to become a vet tech or nurse.

    So, now that I have come to this, I have no idea where to start. Do I go to a college, or do I go to a specific training place, or what?
    Any help to get me in the right direction would be great.

    What's a junior college justcurious? Is it different from a community college or regular college? Thanks for those sites I'm going to go look .

    It's the same as community college. A lot have programs that you can finish there. But a lot of students use community college to do their general ed and lower division coursework before transferring to a 4 year school (that's what I'm doing) because it's way cheaper. And much easier to enroll.

    Colleges, Community Colleges, & Universities in Arizona, USA(AZ, USA) here's a site that I think might also help you, if you don't already know which community college is closest to you.

    Glendale community college is right down the street. I will call them next Monday (having surgery tomorrow so can't do it then lol. Then its christmas) and get an appointment with them. I went to the websites, and I may go to apollo college if GCC doesn't have what I need.
