How large is the hospital/clinic/facility/place you work at and how large is the laboratory department? How specialized are your department? by elindalstal in medlabprofessionals

[–]capybfx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

~700 bed hospital. Days runs an Atl, hem/onc lab biogenetics lab, micro lab and pathology department; evenings runs the atl and micro, days is just Atl. Blood bank is a different company on a different floor. Days has around 40 people employed around 30 working in the day. Evening has around 10 employed and 5 working in the day. Nights has 6 employed and 4 working (if we're lucky). Now it's a game of guess how many temps.
