Nevada's State Licensure Requirement

Administered through the Nevada Division of Public and Behavioral Health. Requires both an approved training program (80 classroom + 40 clinical hours, minimum 200 venipunctures) AND current national certification (ASCP, NHA, AMT, or NCCT accepted). Nevada does not recognize phlebotomy as an independent scope of practice — phlebotomists work as Laboratory Assistants under a licensed laboratory director.

Also prepare for hands-on competency

NHA certification requires documented venipunctures and capillary sticks performed under your training program's supervision — not a separate NHA-administered skills exam. Use our skills checklists to prepare.
