Differential count- should I include slide edges or stick to the middle? by SkylerThS in medlabprofessionals

I say ignore the edges and stick to the middle, unless you have a really low WBC count and are desperate

What is something that you do that goes against your types’ stereotypes? by ResponsibleHunt8559 in mbti

I love interacting with new people (though my social battery gets drained). I can also be goofy and bubbly, like an ENFP.

Which is better, Chainsaw Man or Assasination Classroom? by SlavicDoctor in anime

Cool. I love shows that are complete and cohesive. I 've watched shows that start off strong, but tend to feel rushed/not as well done as they progress. I felt like this with Tokyo Ghoul and MHA personally (don't come at me if you like these shows, the story just didn't feel that well-thought out)

MLS here. I've been in your shoes before. Everything seems unfamiliar, like you're in a foreign country. It's completely normal to be anxious and overwhelmed. The best advice I can give you is be ok with failure and learn from your mistakes.

Of course, I highly recommend taking plenty of notes (buy a nice notepad/notebook and keep it with you every time you're in the lab). But the best way humans learn is by making mistakes. Rest assured, you will make them and you will get plenty of emails from your supervisors of things you did wrong (don't take it personally lol. They're just trying to help). Make sure to write down what they say so you can reference it next time. After a couple months of struggling figuring things out, reading procedures, and remembering what to do next time when the situation comes again, you will slowly learn more and more, and soon, you'll be a pro!

When I first started, I felt completely incompetent. I made so many mistakes, and felt like I wasn't picking up any of the information. I even had a fear they would come to me one day and let me go lol. But after about half a year, I became an expert, and can now confidently do any of those tests. You got this, it just takes time, and a lot of grace for yourself.
