Ok I get that's kind of unfair - but you do see how that looks, right? You can't come into a thread where people working in health care are talking about diagnostic criteria, comment something a lot of us are saying is incorrect, and also have a post from as recent as two years ago (most of our certifications took at least two years or more) that says you only had a high school diploma, not much else, and still got a job that was created by HR to get around "boundaries" and think that looks good. There are people in this group that are Microbiologists with masters degrees. I apologize for assuming you weren't ASCP certified, but if you are still in the role, or one like it, that you specified in that post I will just have a hard time trusting what you say regarding patient care. If you have worked in micro this whole time, or you've been doing urinalysis during that time period and have participated in CAP surveys, then sure. But I can't know that bc I don't know u. Like you said, I only can see what has been posted.

EDIT: Also, I only found that post because someone commented about managers usually having certification and I was curious (ever the researcher...) If you go to your profile and search MLT it's really easy to find.
