What the Nevada data shows for Phlebotomists

Nevada's path to phlebotomist licensure runs through 1,000 hours of approved instruction and a passing score on a state-approved exam, plus a criminal history screening. Nevada folds the credential into its broader occupational licensing statute, which classifies the training track as "Certificate/Degree".

The initial price tag is $100 every 2 years. Continuing education is not a listed requirement for this profession in Nevada, so the annualized maintenance burden is lower than in states that mandate ongoing hours.

There's no published reciprocity list here - Nevada reviews out-of-state credentials individually.
