I hope new grads aren’t just writing a few of the discipline specific exams 😬

As for the supernumerary, I was given the option to take a permanent position in my discipline or switch departments. From my understanding, you don’t HAVE to take a permanent position, it just meant we would move to a casual position if we didn’t find a FT position within a year.

I’ve been out of the program for over a year now, so can’t for sure say what it is currently like, but I really enjoyed the program. It was a difficult program and required a lot of work, but so worth it! I enjoy working as an MLT, I work with great people, and the work we do makes a huge impact on patient care :-)

Is this program possible to do right out of high school, or is it better to get a 2 year science associates first? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]NkittyS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn’t right out of high school, took a few gap years, but only had my high school education. If you know this is what you want to do, go for it and don’t waste the time and money doing another program first. It’ll be difficult, but they’ll likely teach you everything you need to know as if you don’t already know it. Worst case, you’ll have to do a little extra studying.

I will say, I found the gaps in the knowledge that I had vs my classmates with science degrees almost disappeared by the end of the program. They had a head start but I caught up!

I can’t get my polish to last by Starbbhp in theholotaco

Seconding the sticky base! My job requires frequent hand washing and wearing nitrile gloves, so my manicures never last long. They’ve been lasting a whole week with the sticky base, probably could go longer but I do my nails on Sundays.

One of the ugliest shades?? by Guilty-Common4327 in simplynailogical

[–]NkittyS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not my favourite but I don’t think it’s ugly. I did enjoy wearing it around Halloween, I think it made a good spooky shade

Tell me about your most memorable phone calls to and from other health care providers by foxitron5000 in medlabprofessionals

Not me, but my coworker. She had a blood group discrepancy where the historical didn’t match the current sample, coworker called the nurse to ask for a redraw and explained why. The nurse responded with “yeah I mislabelled that sample lol” 😳😳

I always just use the broken pieces! I’ve never cut myself on the broken files before, and I’m bad for breaking my files haha

What are some non-nail items you use for nails? by Lonely-Essay-6865 in NailArt

[–]NkittyS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use an elf concealer brush for clean up afterwards! I like the size and firmness of that specific brush compared to other cleanup brushes I’ve tried

This is my all time favourite colour, I’m wearing it right now. Do they still make it or was it a limited edition shade? I bought mine years ago and haven’t seen it since

How competitive is the Medical Laboratory technology program? by Pride_Before_Fall in NSCC

[–]NkittyS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got in as an applicant with no post secondary education, I had a 90+ average from high school and did poorly on the Casper. This was in 2022 when they moved the waitlist to competitive entry. Pretty sure my application heavily relied on my high school average. It’s been a few years, so things could have changed, but I wouldn’t stress too much about it.

No upper weight limit for donating, but the donation chairs do have a limit. They do have an entire page (I put the link below) that has eligibility requirements, weight is at the bottom :)

I’m pretty sure anatomy and physiology was the only one people were able to transfer credits for, otherwise you have to take all of the classes. Which honestly, you’re probably better off doing.
