Hello,

I just have a quick question about clinical experiences. I was wondering if working at a plasma donation center as a phlebotomist counts as clinical experience. I look over a donor/patient's medical history, take vitals, weigh them, and check protein levels in addition to basic phlebotomy. Does this count?
