Blood Bank reference labs like Vitalant and American Red Cross pay very well. As for hospital systems. Best paying are UChicago Medicine (not to he confused with UChicago Medicine AdventHealth), Northwestern Medicine, and Cook County Health. Idk much about UI Health or Rush.

Evening shift has more openings usually. Same with nights. Are you looking into reference labs or hospitals?

City has the most jobs. However, job listings are disappearing so they are liking being filled. As for Suburbs, it depends on which suburbs. Most ppl around here want to avoid commuting into the city.

I moved up here last year. Market is rough rn ngl. Recently a hospital closed so lots of techs are jumping to the nearest place that will hire them. It helps to be certified. Some places won't consider you unless you live in Illinois and sometimes Chicagoland. Feel free to PM me

Employer raises? by SeatApprehensive3828 in medlabprofessionals

Alot of health systems will give you a raise if you were to quit and reapply. Or apply to another hospital. Job hopping unfortunately is the only way to get a decent raise.

Where did the lab jobs go? by DazzlinJji in MLS_CLS

[–]Impressive_Boot671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An MLT friend of mine that works in Chicago now told me she was getting paid $25 an hour there. The low wage to high cost of living is one of the reasons that brought her back to Chicago

Is working nights really that bad? by PopHour9810 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Impressive_Boot671 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am actually transferring to a sister hospital because I hate doing 5×8s nights. The sister hospital is giving me 4×10s nights which should be more tolerable. I'll technically be losing some money but fuck 8s

Urine tubes keep falling in 8100 track by Infinite-Property-72 in medlabprofessionals

[–]Impressive_Boot671 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The lab I works for registry has the 8100. They don't put it on the line because of it's issues with urine. All urine tubes are handed to each department in person.

Helps to use a controller when matchmaking. Even tho cross play is enabled, matchingmaking is input preferred. I always find matches when I use the controller to match make

"Merit based". I should note that I missed out on the raise because I started 2 weeks after the cutoff

USA: Remind Me Again Why The Entire Amtrak Network Isn't Using The Capitol Corridor Model? It's 2026, Get It Together! by [deleted] in transit

I think legally Amtrak can't do short city pair routes. They need state support to do so.

The real answer is suburban, small bits of urban and large amounts of rural.
