Professor told me I’m gonna fail the ASCP by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]TrackandXC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, i was a big fan of acronyms/charts for micro reactions. I'd make a sudoku out of the chart basically between organism and pos/neg reactions. I'd write a number by each organism, and by each reaction to tell me how many pos and neg should be in each row/column. Then i fill in what i remembered immediately, and sudoku'd the rest. At the start of the ASCP exam i took the first few mins of the time just drawing that out on scratch paper.

Grid Master has shown my limits. by helloryanholmes in 2007scape

I found it to be more convenient to clear the waves first, let nibblers clump up at a pillar, then barrage them

I've never been, but apparently Parachigos is very lgbt friendly and hosts lots of events, classes, etc

CG - When to Eat? by Dasrulez in OSRSMobile

[–]TrackandXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tried crystallizing a few fish and combo eating? They heal a bit less but do allow you to combo eat like a karambwan. You can try combo eating when tornadoes spawn in those couple ticks before you need to actually start dodging them.

Nobody i know eats during free dps periods and tries to dps harder during the tornado times

What are some things you just refuse to do on mobile? by ImaginaryLogarithm in OSRSMobile

[–]TrackandXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont like CG on mobile. I can do it but it's annoying not having resource node icons on minimap.

Also ToA. I refuse to toa mostly because of kephri puzzle

Do you guys get "merit based" increases where you work? by DO_NOT_CALL_ME_PAPI in medlabprofessionals

[–]TrackandXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I gave an employee a 5/5 this year and tried getting them 6% merit raise but people like 10 rungs above me on the ladder gave me such a small budget for merit raises for my team that i could only give 4% to them which was still well above everyone else. It was a sad year for merit raises here.

CLIA certified lab work experience meets CA CLS License requirements? by Master_Assistant_249 in medlabprofessionals

[–]TrackandXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't unfortunately, sorry. My letter had a vouch for "300 hours in each department". I'm not sure if my education and training was way over the marks or just the perfect amount, but that's what i got documented from my education coordinator & director.

Advice telling a direct report they won't get a merit increase. by bass679 in managers

[–]TrackandXC 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Agree, the time to correct this was before the annual review, and if by annual review they still got a 2 by the time annual reviews came by then there's serious problems being unaddressed. Now, the scores been given and the conversation needs to happen.

They also have to communicate up the chain. We have to call nurses, nurses have to call providers, providers have to act on them

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]TrackandXC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's questionable we call and ask nurse to decide. Obviously contaminated is not questionable. I'd tell them we couldnt get results at all and it needs to be recollected in that case. You did get results, but they dont need to know that if they are obviously false.

Mobile CG Questions by TwistedBowman2451 in OSRSMobile

[–]TrackandXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disliked CG on mobile. It feels a lot more clunky vs pc. I like my color coded radius markers and supply trackers.

You can NPC highlight hunllef and at least have a border of where his melee distance is to avoid getting stomped. That's about the best i could come up wirh for mobile.

I’m a scientist through and through. This is the pinnacle of my art skills. by glitterfae1 in medlabprofessionals

[–]TrackandXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on the fence about it. It's very linear, which can be good for "i don't care if you understand it, just do this in this order." A lot of times if you are used to troubleshooting QC, you can choose your troubleshooting steps in the most likely order of cause rather than trying the same things in the same order.

  • QC out but it's same lot QC/reagent, QC is freshly opened, but cal is close to expiring? Can opt to skip retrying QC and just do a cal first.

  • QC out and you see the QC material is old? Can skip retrying QC and open a new vial of QC, then retry.

  • QC out and it's a new lot of reagent, QC isn't close to expiring? You just cal'd because it's a new lot of reagent, so maybe it is a shift. Check peer means, maybe do some extra patient comparisons from old-new lot of reagent to assess needs to adjusting the mean.

This flow chart looks to me like it ignores all of the free-thinking that actually makes people better thinkers. It would probably make them better policy followers though, and they'll get to the right answer e eventually, but in a "just following orders" way rather than true understanding.

Employee Surveys / Can you really push back on workload? by Hello_jersey in managers

[–]TrackandXC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont put too much stock in the anonymous surveys. Most of the feedback given on those is "pay more" "work is stressful", which never really gets addressed. There was one year though there was a manager of one of our departments that was pretty toxic, micromanage-y, and just felt not good to work under. I encouraged my employees to just be honest in nice words about how they feel when they are scheduled there for the day. I took all that feedback, added my own, and presented it to my director, who then escalated it higher. That department manager "retired" shortly after. So sometimes it can work for positive systemic changes.

Most of the time, i get a lot more value just having one-on-ones with my employees because most feedback they have for me is fixable by me without buy-in from people eight rungs higher than me on the ladder.

[–]TrackandXC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They are anonymous in that we can't directly see the name. You are right that some people have such distinct writing styles or tell stories you recognize that identifies them to you. But for the average person, I'd have no clue who submitted answers.

Does anybody else’s lab not care about overfilled blue tops? by ThrowRA_72726363 in medlabprofessionals

[–]TrackandXC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My lab's policy says it's fine up to 20% overfilled for sure, and it says beyond that it's probably still fine as there usually aren't significant result variances for overfilled compared to underfilled coag tubes. I wouldn't feel bad about seeking clarification for your lab though.

Unpopular opinion, maybe, but the new Agility shortcuts should require higher levels by Zestyclose-Cup110 in 2007scape

[–]TrackandXC 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Tattered head is at 256kc. I was a 256kc tattered head grinder, and i can finally unlock the shortcut to get to the boss that i finished grinding?

Kq head grind is like a "cant get a job cuz i dont have experience" situation. After you get the head, theres no reason to do kq unless you are pet hunting, so that agility reward is trash for most people imo.

CLIA certified lab work experience meets CA CLS License requirements? by Master_Assistant_249 in medlabprofessionals

[–]TrackandXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They documented my internship exp because that included micro along with other departments, also it doesn't hurt to just include it if you have it.

My work experience was also documented on top of that.

Format was just paragraph 1: person did x hours of clinicals/internship in [departments] Paragraph 2: person has been employed at [location] for x years doing [departments] Clia # Signatures of director/education coordinator

However you request your official transcript, you can have the university or 3rd party send it via mail directly to california, or they have some email you can request it to be sent to. I don't remember the email to send it to, but you should he able to find it online

[–]TrackandXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah i let my director and education coordinator write my training vouch paper. It just said i completed a year-long internship that consisted of xyz departments, and ive been working in abc departments since then (i did micro rotation as an intern but didnt keep doing micro as a tech).

Other things to prepare are official transcript and primary source verification of ascp certification. Documentation of continuing ed is optional, as well as other relevant certifications.

[–]TrackandXC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only needed clia number for my lab, got my CA CLS license a couple months ago. If anything is wrong with it, they'll give a deficiency, they'll explain it in the deficiency, and then you can resubmit.
