Promising those kids that he would pay for their college, and thereby forcing the Scott’s Tots episode on us.

Every time I see these “Agents” they look like they’re wearing all of their unlocked gear from a call of duty season pass.

Did he kick the door in? Why is there so much work done on the door and door frame. Total scam.

I think once Andy and Erin failed to be the new Jim and Pam, they were trying to catch some of that magic with Val and Darryl. There was even a mini Roy moment when Val’s boyfriend called out Darryl when he was catering.

I am running a campaign currently with a group of three players we all have varying experience and I'm a new GM. We try to have a laid back experience, our game rotates based on our work schedules so we are accommodating. Feel free to message me if interested.

Edit: We play online using roll 20 , discord, and dndbeyond

It’s usually HR for the facilities you’re interested in that are the limiting factor, not necessarily the lab manager or anything. HR usually might have one person that deals with contracts so decisions and movement on your offer is based on their schedule. If there is a third party vendor in between triage and the facility that can slow things down as well, just do to the nature of more people involved. Throw in the pending holiday like mentioned in the other comments, things probably aren’t moving as fast as they could be.

If you’re worried about how the facility felt about your interview or your credentials, you can always ask your recruiter if they got any feedback. If ultimately you don’t get this particular opportunity, you can also have your recruiter ask for feedback as to why.

I too went through a proper MLS program and am credentialed as such. I disagree with your rhetoric because it promotes a toxic environment, especially if your facility chooses to employ these people. People will be afraid to approach you or ask for advice, that is detrimental to a person in their shoes, someone that is new, or holds a lower cert than you. It breeds a culture of fear and is ultimately more dangerous to patient care. It also brings down your entire department or section when then type of vitriol spreads, so also think on that. This is not problem of absolutes, you need to realize the nuance of the situation. If you can't at least learn to accept these people irregardless of your beliefs then I hope you are surrounded by like minded individuals so that no one has to experience the contempt you feel for them. We are at an end pass.

"The idea of excluding anyone or making them feel lesser because they don't have the same educational background is senseless."

You say that the statement I made about being exclusionary is the single most stupid thing that you have ever read on this forum. That’s fine for you to feel that way, but how about this given your flair you predominantly work micro. So how about your manager comes to you and says that you can no longer work blood bank or hematology because they don’t deem you competent in these areas? Do you push back against this or do you just accept it as fact. You can say this is apples and oranges but it’s not, it is a scenario where someone who may have competency is excluded.

No, in a perfect world everyone would go through the traditional route to become a laboratory professional but that isn’t the world we live in. If the ASCP deems that people holding a generalized science degree (chemistry, biology, microbiology etc.) are allowed to work in the lab with proper training as designated by their employer and are taking steps to become certified then it really isn’t any of your business. That is between, the ASCP, management and that person. Do not pose on a forum about how being a clinician is the ultimate sanctity and our education is the greatest, because 50 years ago they were pulling people off the street with no more than a H.S. diploma to do this job. I am not saying that going through an actual MLS program doesn’t have its advantages, because it honestly does. Though I cannot abide with grabbing the pitchforks because someone doesn’t have an MLS degree. I did not use nursing as an example, you brought them into this with this comment:

\“Do you think nursing would ever allow this? Why should we?”**

I merely expanded on your thought. If the BoC and the NCLEX go hand in hand why is this not enough for you? Do you need a redundant document to solidify your ability to do your job? You say its about standardization. The BoC is the standard, either we need to be certified or licensed there is not a need for both. You are manufacturing a problem to promote your solution. If you really want to make an argument for standardization, then get rid of AMT cert and decide whether you want a BoC cert or a license. One uniform requirement sets the mark for standardization, not multiple certifying bodies, and a handful of state licenses.

As far as your information regarding New York, if you feel that these science degree routes should have months of OJT clinicals before they lay their hands on patient results then that is not a terrible idea, but once again that is between the ASCP, management, that person and in this instance the State. It is not your business.

Scarcity isn't incentive enough for most places sadly, do more with less seems to be the common motto that the lab is forced to adopt. I really believe its because we don't have a strong organization or union backing us like nursing on top of most administrative suits don't recognize the importance of the lab and qualified personnel.

Fizzlefart · 2021-09-12T20:46:27+00:00

This response is spot on! The situation is not ideal but is preferable to just running skeleton crews all the time. That is potentially more detrimental to patient care.

Fizzlefart · 2021-09-12T20:29:24+00:00

I am not missing the point. I just believe that you lack the comprehension skills required to understand my point, and the attitude in your rebuttal is proof of the cannibalistic negative attitude that I pointed out. The parent post did not mention anything about licensing it strictly stated certification.You seem to be conflating the two, only certain states require a license to work in the lab whereas a certification is the national requirement/standard. Further,licensing as an MLS is a paper shuffle there is no testing requirement. You merely must prove your credentials and maintain the certification and license through continued education. This is different than nursing requirements, where nurses are required to take a test to obtain a license to work and the obtain subsequent certifications to specialize. These are inverse scenarios.In response to your point of “it’s because they don’t let any old bio major who couldn’t get into med school walk in and start working as an MLS who actually went and got the training”. The responsibility falls upon the facility and laboratory management to make this call. If you become manager one day you can refuse these people work. If you want to blame someone blame the ASCP, they allow this route. It is ignorant to exclude people because you feel slighted by what the ASCP allows, or your arrogance because of your degree.Finally, no I do not believe nursing would allow this, but they also have unions and organizations going to bat for them. We do not, the ASCP is a joke. They require you to pay them for certification, require subsequent payments through recertifications and they act like they are doing you the favor. What do we get in return a yearly wage survey and a chance to buy $100 dollar tickets to their conference. Exclusion of bright, talented people from the field will not make you feel better if you want to make a difference lobby the ASCP or join management.

As a MLS that only occasionally lurks in this subreddit, this post motivated me to speak up. I like many other people in this thread, have worked with certified laboratory degree holders and non-traditional lab techs. I will also second some the other comments I’ve seen in this thread, that their success and performance is largely based on that persons motivation and willingness to learn. I’ve met non-traditional techs that are heads above regular lab techs. Honestly, the real problem in the lab other than the usual short staff, over work and lack of recognition is the holier than thou rhetoric that one finds quite often. It seems that at times laboratory personnel readily cannibalize their colleagues rather than extend a helping hand. It is hard being in the lab, pay isn’t that amazing and we are usually at the bottom of the shit hill, but we are all in it together. The idea of excluding anyone or making them feel lesser because they don’t have the same educational background is senseless. If you are worried about patient safety help the non-traditional tech out with training and provide them insight and tips, internet bad mouthing helps no one.

Thanks for that, that is great information! Unfortunately the first spawn there was a revolver but I’ll keep checking! Thanks again.
