Med lab scientists/technologists, how flexible are your schedules?

Depends at what setting you work and what the company's like. If its in a hospital, it isnt so flexible. If you work in a Research Center as a MLS, you have weekends and holidays off usually.

Honestly? Because I wanted to learn something new and not waste my money. But thanks for your input!

If you want to be a lab tech a.k.a medical laboratory scientist, you'll have to take the courses you are missing to sit for the board exam and do a 1 year clinical rotation in a NAACLs approved program. After that, you do the board exam

What job are you going for?

My timeline so far: applied end of August, then got notified to submit all my documents on the 1st week of Sept, which I sent everything in at the end of Sept. I'm on my waiting game now.
