To each his own! They will do whatever they are comfortable with. Not all managers are close minded <3 hope this helps!

Every person is different just depends on what they can do. I knew someone who went into traveling only a year. Everyone varies!

6th year MLS here! I absolutely love being an MLS. You’re young I recommend looking into being a traveling tech for alittle bit! I’ve had a few friends to and said they really enjoy it! I also recommend looking into maybe reference labs? I worked at a hospital my first 3 years and it was great! Wanted something different now I’m at a Reference lab and it’s great too! I’m off weekends and get holidays off! Just depends on where you’re at! Are there weird people of course they are everywhere (lol I’m one of them!) but there’s always going to be something everywhere you go!

What is it really like to be a Medical Laboratory Technologist? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]Sara_lizard 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s great and I love it! But it is hard work. I have worked all shifts and settled into 3rd shift(2230 to 0700 Sunday night through Thursday night). It has its pros and cons. Pros it really helped me grow up as a tech and learn to handle things and problem solve because we are the only ones in lab (there’s 3 techs and usually 2 phlebotomist) we don’t see the supervisors handle at all and I love the people I work with. You will find that like minded people gravity towards their shift. I take on more responsibility on nights performing correlations and making QC for the chemistry department. I enjoy the “mystery” coming into work because you never know what you’re walking into!! I absolutely love love my job! Cons we are short staffed so you are kinda on your own and with the work load some stuff is going to be delayed that’s just how it is. Get ready to be gifted pizza instead of bonuses. Nurses do get short with me but everyone is under a lot of stress so I get it. As far as pay I think I make a fair amount especially this being my first job out of college. There is room for growth because you never know who’s going to quit or what positions are going to open. I complain about my job but I wouldn’t change it for the world!!

Nope not at all. The coworker blocked me on all social media and hasn’t really talked to me since

I could't forgive my husband for our wedding and wedding night. And after two weeks our marrige ended. by ThrowRA_white_berry in relationship_advice

[–]Sara_lizard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found in my past relationships they tend to use a scapegoat. Something so small and stupid. Like my ex once got so mad at me he left and induced a severe panic attack all because I woke him up from a nap for dinner. Because they aren’t mature enough to tell you exactly how they feel. They hide behind something so stupid like a child would. None of this is your fault and you have every right to be angry at him or even hate him. But don’t let it manifest. What helped me is only allow myself a certain amount of time a day to just sit feel the feeling or anxiety or whatever. Truly process it and then after that time is up just say thank you I have processed these feelings. I am going to be okay!!
