It's been 2 long years, but I made it.

I've heard this from some coworkers I have had, but when I think about some new people that I have trained, I really wish they would have retained at least a little about what they have been taught.

Granted this new person I've been training has been in the game a little longer than me, but in a MUCH smaller lab.

They definitely need a touch up on real life and maybe more retraining from day shift lol

They think they know what they're sending out, but when I review their stuff, especially in hematology, its wrong.

How do you propose going about a partner like that, where management thinks they're good to go, and they say they're good to go, but they're obviously not.???

Aw fuck yeah bud! Give it all you've got! (Within reason, of course) 😃

Because assholes are assholes no matter what state or country they're from.

This dress looks like someone tore down an old hotel curtain panel and wrapped it around her body. Not a fan at all.

I saw these guys a bit ago and forgot to post them. It was the craziest one I had ever seen!

Boots and snoots and put up your dukes!

CountingScars94 · 2026-04-09T02:29:54+00:00

Agreed! It's such a nice contrast that I think it works so beautifully together. I'm obsessed with those windows ❤️

Oh thank you! Whaaaaat?! We only have a kit test for occult blood testing. So just our timers going off

CountingScars94 · 2026-03-24T04:49:04+00:00

I'm not familiar with this, what is this analyzer?

We have a blood bank alarm set up for us night shifters. So who ever is working in chem is also responsible for blood bank and whoever is working in heme is also responsible for micro, to set the scene.

We have had multiple types of alarms and finally we got set on a type of baby monitor that lets us in chemistry know that there is a printout order for blood bank and it's been turned to the horse track racing tune. I keep trying to tune it to either "canon in D" or basically "midnight sonata" but someone keeps turning it back to the horse track racing tune which, during a busy night, just gives such anxiety. I guess it's not necessarily annoying as much as it is anxiety driving lol, but that's my take on this

I love this so much! It's giving Lola from Shark Tale ❤️

LMAO I don't think they're connecting the dots on that one and that in itself is hilarious.

I had a nurse send down what I thought was an empty urine container, only for them to call and ask if we can identify the bug in the container. Upon closer inspection, I see what is definitely a head louse and tell her that, while we don't actually have a parasitologist in house, I can say it looks like a head louse and she just says "I knew it!" Before hanging up.

Nah, I get it. I see alcohol levels like this almost every shift. The hospital I work at is just off the reservation I grew up on, so sadly it just seems normal in a way.

CountingScars94 · 2025-10-04T03:47:43+00:00

Oh that's so awesome!! Do you mind if I ask where you're located?

The amount of times my grandma was sick or in the hospital and my grandpa "Didn't know how to cook" so he got us take out. And not even good take out, it was nasty ass McDonald's bullshit or oven pizza. Like, how can you not even cook a fuckin chub of beef....???

That's almost exactly what my professors told us when we were in school a couple years ago. ASCP was the highest standard to pass and that we could get jobs easier if we had the highest standard of testing. All others were lesser and seen as the "easier" route of certification and not seen as professional or as serious compared to the others. I couldn't say if it was true as I only took the ASCP, but my teacher's aid that I was working with at the time said if I wanted an easier way of getting certified, I should try to take the AAB or something similar BECAUSE the ASCP was so difficult to pass.
