I had some questions about the application process for my program so I called the number listed for the program director. It went to voice mail so I stated leaving message. I left my name and phone number but got the year I’ll be applying wrong. I said 2007 instead of 2027. My mother who has a habit of interrupting people correct me. Loudly enough that you could hear it in the message. I then without thinking and freaking out went “oh…. Is there a way to restart the message” she looked back at me and then went on with the rest of my messages albeit very quickly.

After I hung up I started crying and my dad yelled at my mom to not interrupt people when leaving voicemails (she does this to him to) and to just let people go on with their mistake. My mom has apologized but I’m worried that this will be a lasting first impression with the director and that she will think less of me in the future during my application process. I’m already at a disadvantage because this school gives bonus points to people who live in the county of that school and I live 2 hours away. (40 points)

Hi everyone my boyfriend (20) is interested into going to school to be a phlebotomist. We live near a community college that offers a program for it but their website doesn’t say anything about the required classes. I have a friend who just graduated and I know it’s 6 months and she had 2 math classes (algebra and math skills) and she had a class that was practicing sticking people. The cost for 1 credit hour is around $100 if you pay out of pocket and with no scholarships. What classes did you have to take before being licensed? If it matters we live in the south US.

We would prefer to pay out of pocket he’s been saving some money and me and my parents are willing to help him if he needs it.
