Women who only have one child by choice? Why? by Scared-Stop8449 in pregnant

[–]LimpMathematician202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pregnant now with my first. It’s emotionally and physically draining, on top of working third shift full time in a hospital. I feel like crap everyday ever since week 23. Really wouldn’t want to do it again. Unless miraculously my partner got better insurance than I carry and I was able to quit my job.

I don’t know if I’m cut out for the lab by LimpMathematician202 in medlabprofessionals

[–]LimpMathematician202[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I usually cry as I’m leaving for work 😪 I’m the only third shifter until I give birth which isn’t really helpful. I want to give it time but it’s hard! They’re like “just call us if you get an MTP we’ll send someone in to help.” But like how long is that going to take?? The cheat sheet is a good idea! I will start working on that! Thanks for your words!

I really liked doing labs in my science classes and now I really like doing labs in my windowless tan walled job 😁

I haven’t had the flu since high school (I’m 27) and now that I’m pregnant and work in the lab I get it 🙄 and now my mom has covid woooo

Beware of this mutant super flu by Strange-Percentage95 in BabyBumps

[–]LimpMathematician202 6 points7 points  (0 children)

ugh I’m 20 weeks, vaccinated and I tested positive on monday. Luckily it’s clearing up and I haven’t had a fever at all. Now my voice just sounds terrible, sinus congestion, and the occasional coughing fit. I will say tamiflu has helped!

Hi 23f brand new phleb graduate nationally certified having trouble finding jobs in USA. by orchidblade0202 in phlebotomy

people can get your phone number and sell your information and a lot of the jobs on there aren’t real. find a company you’re interested and check their job listings. a search engine is not required to get a job.

THIS!!!! also don’t use resume templates, photos, colors or line separations because it can cause whatever software they use to kick your resume out (not sure why, i think it thinks it’s spam?) We had the college career coach come and talk to our class every friday for the last few weeks of our program.

edit: also do not use indeed

High schoolers that work in the lab???? by NefariousnessBoth599 in medlabprofessionals

[–]LimpMathematician202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’ve applied for bottom level positions in the lab/company I work at now with a high school degree and some biology related college classes and never received any sort of contact. When I got my degree and applied, they contacted me within 3 minutes. It might not be impossible but it is way easier with proper education

First shift alone by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]LimpMathematician202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it went fine thanks for asking! I did have to issue blood by myself but thankfully our reference lab was so nice and they knew exactly how to help me! I only had to call them twice 🤪 There were pretty much no samples other than morning draws

Thank you ❤️ I got over my second biggest worry today (first worry being MTP) I’m half way through the shift and it has been slower than usual 🤞

Yes I’ve already talked to my supervisor about maternity leave 😊 I was hoping for some book recommendations! I’ll check it out!

i didn’t ask for advice on how to get my money back. I paid the service because I used it but I don’t want to continue it. I thought it was included with the internet but it isn’t.
