Hi everyone, Before I get into the changes, I want to say thank you. Back in April, I stepped away to grieve the loss of my mom and take time to regroup. It took longer than I expected, but I'm grateful for your patience while I did what I needed to do. That time also gave me space to think about how to make this community better for all of you, and what you're about to read is a result of that. Now, I want to be honest with you about some changes coming to this community. Right now, most of the study content is available for free. Starting July 25, 2026, the full CPT study course, practice exams, and live teaching sessions will move into paid membership. DNA training and business training will also be included in this same membership. Here's why I'm making this change. I want to keep building real, high-quality training for people serious about passing the exam and building a career in this field. That takes time and consistency, and I can only keep doing that if the community supports it. Here's what stays free: - Community discussion - Job postings - One live session a month Here's what moves to paid membership ($19/month for the first 20 people who join, then $39/month): - Full study course and Study With Me sessions - Practice exams - Weekly live teaching and Q&A - DNA and business training - Downloads and templates If becoming certified and building a career in this field matters to you, I'd love to have you inside.

Hey and welcome! I’m really glad you’re here. This community is a supportive space for phlebotomy students who want clear guidance, steady progress, and encouragement along the way. Whether you’re just starting or already studying, you’re in the right place. 🗓 Weekly Group Rhythm Here’s how we stay connected: - Midweek Check-In: Wednesdays at 7:00 PMA space to ask questions, talk through challenges, and stay encouraged. - Module Review: Sundays at 7:00 PMWe review key topics together and focus on understanding, not pressure. You don’t need to attend everything at once — come as you’re able. 📘 How This Group Works Inside the group, you’ll find: - Lessons you can move through at your own pace - Helpful posts and study reminders - Group discussions and live sessions My suggestion:Start with one lesson at a time. Take notes. Mark lessons as complete. Ask questions when something doesn’t make sense. Even small steps matter. This is not a perfection-based space. It’s a progress-based space. 🤍 What I Ask of You - Show up when you can - Engage in ways that feel comfortable - Ask questions — that’s how learning happens - Let me know what you need help with I’m here to support you, and this works best when we communicate. 👋 Introduce Yourself Below When you’re ready, please comment below and share: 1. Your name 2. Where you are in your phlebotomy journey 3. If you have an exam date scheduled (or if you’re still preparing) That helps me support you better and makes this feel like a community, not just a classroom. Again, welcome. Take a deep breath, start where you are, and we’ll take this one step at a time — together.
