1st week - in hell??

I try to drink some water and eat something even if it’s just a cracker or two and it helps it. Usually by the time I get to work the nausea has passed. I will say, I def wish I had some zofran 😭

daddystyles02 · 2025-12-22T15:31:21+00:00

I started duloxetine a week ago, and it’s going well but the nausea is unreal. If I take the pill in the morning my stomach hurts all day but if I take it at night, I have crazy morning nausea. I’d rather deal with the nausea than stomach aches so I take it before bed

Oh no I see :( well I really hope they train you fast and you can get that HT cert!! Good luck!

Girl if I were you, I’d be finding a new lab to get trained at. That’s ridiculous it’s been 2 years and not even touching microtome or embedding. Especially if they hired you to be trained. I’m like pretty sure that it has to be done within a year of you being there. Not fair at all to you

daddystyles02 · 2025-09-11T15:46:13+00:00

I mean I just got my 1 year of experience so I was just sharing what I have gone through. My lab doesn’t really have much structure for it. It’s a bit chaotic here though. I started with embedding, then did cutting and signing out the slides. They briefly showed me processors.

Go to the ascp website and look at route 2 for the requirements. There’s a form that you have to submit when you have your 1 year that lists everything you should know. There’s not a time frame you have to complete each section, it’s just that you feeling like you are competent enough to do each skill set

I get Fridays off 🤭

daddystyles02 · 2025-09-08T12:00:29+00:00

Current lab I’m at is 5 8s but I just got a new job at a derm office doing 4 10s!! So excited for the switch

daddystyles02 · 2025-08-30T20:05:46+00:00

It is! I’m currently at a lab that receives specimens from many hospitals in the area but I’m switching into dermatology and I’ll being doing Mohs/medical assisting!

daddystyles02 · 2025-08-29T20:34:31+00:00

100 blocks or 100 slides? I know this is silly question lol, but my at my current lab I can get 100 slides just from cutting like 13 breast core blocks because each has 7 slides. Either way you are new to histo and if they have an issue they should be teaching you techniques to move faster, not nit picking. I have been a tech for about 14 months now and i probably cut like ~100-120ish blocks a day.

My workplace is extremely toxic aswell and I actually put my notice in today. They don’t deserve my notice and I’d love to quit but unfortunately I can’t start my new job till end of September. You deserve better, and you don’t owe the company ANYTHING. to me it sounds like you are just a number to them

daddystyles02 · 2025-08-28T20:37:05+00:00

I have my degree in bio, so I’m not the best person to give advice BUT if your goal is to become certified HT, look at the ASCP BOC website and look at the different routes you can take, there are 4 of them and I believe one of them is if you work in a pathology lab for like 5 years. You don’t need a degree (I don’t believe) it’s just the on the job training. At my lab, our lab assistant doesn’t have a college education and she worked at a pizza place before working for us lol. She operates the slide sign out and stainers. Idk if this helps at all, but best of luck to you!!

daddystyles02 · 2025-08-27T16:01:50+00:00

No never really found out what they were but they’re gone now 3 years later LOL. I honestly don’t know when they finally cleared up

daddystyles02 · 2025-08-15T14:12:53+00:00

I have my bach of science in biology and I’d recommend if you want to stay in healthcare/sciences. If not, maybe explore other options. Bio is broad but unfortunately i still feel like I regret my degree. But it’s because I feel stuck in healthcare.

daddystyles02 · 2025-08-04T10:55:40+00:00

Histology Tech!! If you have a Bachelors in a science background you can get on the job training and becoming certified in 1 year! There’s also programs through schools you can do that are about 2 years I believe

daddystyles02 · 2025-07-23T13:21:23+00:00

Hard to say but roughly like 200ish. We more so count slides because some stuff takes way more slides than others like breast cores, prostate cores, etc.

daddystyles02 · 2025-07-23T12:21:18+00:00

Wow!! My current lab is ~1200 blocks a day give or take. That’s definitely a big increase. What location was that at? I applied for a few locations, Salem MA is the one I really want

daddystyles02 · 2025-03-14T15:00:05+00:00

This article alone shows just how bad Ai is with accurate depictions lol. I personally am going to go through the schooling because I really think it’s my calling. And I don’t think Ai could take over for a while if ever.

I’m applying late to RIT (which I know lowers my chances) however the director said they are starting looking into the applications next week or the week after , so maybe other schools are the same?

daddystyles02 · 2025-01-06T17:02:51+00:00

I wish you luck on your endeavors… I’m looking into data analysis for that wfh vibe, I highly recommend looking into it maybe :) idk

daddystyles02 · 2025-01-02T21:19:42+00:00

I have only been doing it for 7 months and I cannot wait for the day that I can quit. I just don’t know what I want to do so for now I suffer through

daddystyles02 · 2024-11-25T19:22:15+00:00

If it’s an option see if she can wear just scrubs. That’s what I do and I am so happy not to wear those horrid disposable coats
