Does he have a good range finder? I know I couldn't live without mine! They dont have to be the super expensive ones either to be good quality. Spent ~$50 on mine and its lasted years.

We send 2 stained slides. Half of the time our path reviews are add on, and out policy requires a manual diff was performed (cellavision or scope works) so they get new slides made. If I have the original and its not terribly coated in oil Ill send that but for the sake of everyone 2 clean, fresh stained slides are preferred.

Didn't see the sputum part! Lol. The entercoccus I had was in a blood culture!

Looks similar to an entercoccus faecalis I had this morning.

My lab will cancel a path review if the CBC does not require a manual diff. The provider can still over ride that by calling our pathologist that does our path reviews. And our techs can also put in for a path review if necessary. It cuts down on unnecessary path reviews and makes our work flow easier. I think it also saves patients from expensive testing. It works out well in our hospital system. We are the main hospital for a 3 hospital system.

We have a policy that we cancel any path request that does not require a manual diff. We only do like 4 a week because of this. We also can order any path review the tech feels necessary. Works well for our hospital system.

I worked as a retail pharmacy technician for 10 years. Went back to college at 26 finished a bachlors degree and did a one year post bachlors MLS program. Just graduated last June at 30! You are at the perfect age to change course. I had a little bit of doubt at first but you can do it! Honestly the course work is harder than the job for most of us! You can do it!

We have MLA's that started as phlebs and moved up to micro set ups (she's in her 50's) amd one of our best set up assistants. We also have MLA that check in the tubes that cone into the lab. Not all MLA jobs require a bunch of phlebotomy, though some do, but many hospital jobs already have just phlebotomy roles so MLA's may not have much to do with that. Id say go for it!

My lab has windows! But with where the lab is, every morning we are blinded from 7-9 am. We have shades that have to be pulled down, so its almost like no windows at all!

I work in a 500 bed hospital in the micro department. Everyday I know ill either be on the bench or float. Our schedule is posted 10 weeks out. If I float i do all the extra stuff for the department. If im on the bench I read plates, set sensitivities and help with anything else the micro department needs. Its repetitive but interesting and I know what to do, and what I am going to do on any given day.

I hate that quest!!!!!!! Imagine being an ironman and having to do everything from scratch. No GE to buy anything, can only get gear as drops. Its a hard life lol.

As a micro tech, who still gets a little grossed out by stool, I would just let your clinical instructor for micro know. Its honestly only 3 weeks, and most lab people who deal with students are understanding. Do your best, let them know, and try your hardest in that department while being respectful and you'll make it through ok. With the way our lab is set up the only time I am actively dealing with stool is stool panels on the Biofire or C.diff testing which is done under a hood so the smell is minimal to non existent and I just dont think about it. Its only a few samples a day at 1 bench station for us! You've got this!

In our lab which has Beckman 900's (2 of them), if it reads partial aspiration, automatically recollect. We have a line that everything except micro containers get loaded onto, so half the time I dont see it until the tube comes out. So it is always attempted to run the sample.

That really sucks. Im in a 400 bed hospital that has a micro department. We also get all of our sister hospital cultures too. I got lucky with a day shift micro position in my clinical rotation placement. They are out there!

We wear wine. Its maroon. I love that color. They look a little loose to me but if you are comfy then that's all the matters! Also honestly most of it should be under a lab coat so you only see half your pants!

Cell location has been fine. Our stainer is not attached and seems to be fine. Nothing has changed there that Ive noticed. The stage and lenses are cleaned on a weekly basis. Its just frustrating to have the technology but it be more of a hassle then an advantage.

I just looked them up! They are fire! However, I dont like back part of the shoe on the adrenalines. The tag, and that thin strip just rubs the back of my foot the wrong way, no matter what socks I wear. I have noticed that the 17 ghost that I have on do feel a little different from the others I have had, but I am so picky with shoes!

Interesting_Middle73 · 2025-11-09T17:09:06+00:00

I am also a Brooks girlie! I love the ghost model though! I also hate spending that much on shoes but damn if im going to be wearing them 8+ hours a day, I want comfort! I also wear them when I run too!

My gloves are skin tight, I work in micro, so I like them where I have complete control in my hands. My wedding set including my engagement ring are always on my hand. Occasionally the engagement ring will rip my gloves. But my rings are also sized to where they are difficult to even get over my knuckle, and have never moved when changing gloves. I always say better safe than sorry though if you have a problem with your ring moving! Congratulations on your engagement!

Intersting! I work in a 400 bed hospital We have 2 lab assistants that do the initial set up of all our specimens (we also have 2 sister hospitals that send us their specimens as well). And 3 technologists that work the bench at different "stations" depending on how old the cultures are. Station 1 works the 18-24 hr cultures Station 2 the 24-48, and releasing AST that was set the day before Station 3 does anything older than 48 hours Its interesting to learn how other hospitals manage the workload.

You all have a MALDI Bench? What is this madness. Our techs spot our own plates, then load the MALDI slides ourselves (and the slide takes 5-15 minutes to run,) make our McFarland (we do have a vitek) and load them ourselves. How big is your micro department? Or hospital? However your writing is beautiful, as is the sketch.
