When one door closes.....🚪
Now that I know I've lost my job, I've decided to do something I've been wanting to do for the LONGEST time, I'm talking since high school.
I want to get my phlebotomy certification.
I wanted to do this years ago after high school, but the town I lived in didn't offer the class, so I took medical billing and coding instead. Turns out that school wasn't accredited, so I wasted my time and money. It soured me against school for a long time.
In my thirties a family member convinced me to go into respiratory therapy, and the only thing I really liked about that experience was the drawing blood part! 💉 But I never pursued it.
Then a while back, here on THIS site, a perfect stranger reached out to me and suggested I go into Phlebotomy because she lives in my area, has her certification, and apparently there are lots of those jobs available here. (Ok, sign from the universe! How could she have known that was a secret goal of mine?) Then, two days ago, a different person posted on her socials that she's officially registered at a local school to do (guess?!) phlebotomy, medical assisting, and medical billing and coding! Ok universe, I hear you. 👂🏻
Now that I have been released from this miserable job, I'm going to have a lot of free time, and I have decided to go for it and FINALLY get certified in what I WANT to do. I have found two schools in my area that offer the course, and I will be looking into each one to figure out which is the best option for my own needs. (Location, cost, level of education, etc)
I can't help but feel like this was meant to be. It has given me a little bit of hope for the future I may be able to give myself. 🌟
