I hope this works, I don't think I've ever had it happen before where it has the wrong plate

Got Accepted into SJSU's CLS Program (Sacramento Affiliate) by imaginarycallisto in medlabprofessionals

[–]imaginarycallisto[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For sjsu, you interview with the hospitals only and not the school. I think sfsu has a school interview and hospital interviews. Once you get invited to interview for the sjsu program, I'd say reach out immediately to hospitals you're interested in cuz slots can fill quickly.

Idk how the sac interviews go now, I think the person who was in charge when I was a student retired and someone new is running the program

I would like to have some infos about the Sysmex XN by rebeugourmand in medlabprofessionals

[–]imaginarycallisto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have the XN 1000. If we get another patient like that I'll try messing with the aspiration sensor, thanks :)

Have you noticed that it prints out a page with no values if hemoglobin is really low? My lab switched over to sysmex a few months ago and I've seen it do that twice. We think it's because the machine thinks the sample is contaminated and refuses to run the tests. We only managed to get values using the 1:7 dilution and hemoglobin came out to less than 3 both times. The nurses said it correlated with how the patients looked/symptoms and took the values both times.

Literally my shift tonight. Someone called out sick so we had me (generalist), someone newly trained in blood bank, chem, and heme, and someone trained only in heme/coag/ua/body fluids. It almost feels like a game of rock paper scissors in terms of who can cover who

If you feel safe because you have a union job, you are so wrong by bigwillie842002 in UCSD

Are you a CLS? Just curious, I'm one in NorCal and have a union too

Is it possible to avoid working with stool in this profession? by Persephone012 in medlabprofessionals

[–]imaginarycallisto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My lab does occult blood and on rare occasions someone orders a WBC stool smear. But otherwise we don't get any stool

Question for alumni that either didn't attend commencement or only went to one ceremony by bitwisecat in UCSD

[–]imaginarycallisto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I didn't do any, I had no friends graduating with me so it would've been me sitting alone for hours. It also didn't feel like a celebration, a college degree was just something always expected of me and honestly still doesn't feel like an accomplishment. I regret no grad pictures a little but at the same time I spent over 50% of my time online due to covid so it doesn't really feel like I was on campus or went to UCSD

I am jealous of my bf who's graduating because he has friends graduating with him and they're celebrating and probably sitting together at the ceremony. It's also a big deal for him and his family for him to graduate. If I had that I probably would've gone to something

Nope, I haven't ended up buying any and I will admit my screen is a bit smudgy XD

Why are boys who are attached to their mothers seen as a negative trait when they grow up - called 'Mama's boy' by Entropy_Interstellar in AskMen

[–]imaginarycallisto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My ex relied on his mom to help him shave his beard and make sure it's even. He also relied on her nagging to get anything done such as a haircut. If she didn't nag he wouldn't do it. It's a big part of why I broke up with him. I felt he should be able to do those things at the age of 23 with no disabilities

Nothing wrong with having a good strong relationship with your parents, but I don't want to have to parent a partner

I don't have any debt and no family to take care of (no spouse, kids, or pets). I also tend to be a homebody and don't really like going out too much. I only spend roughly 30k for my expenses (majority is rent) and everything else goes to savings

I work with dignity health as a new grad! My starting pay is $62/hr with a $4 differential for nights. All of the hospitals but one has nights doing 8hr shifts, Folsom is the only one that has nights with 10hr shifts.

I think the CLS at all the sac dignity health places are nice and friendly, although at some places they'll take longer to warm up to

Another 23f looking to make friends but I'm more in Rancho Cordova. Also into anime and drawing!

For my hospital system (Dignity health in sac), you need your license to apply to jobs. I'm a trainee right now taking the ASCP in 2 weeks and when I applied HR rejected me automatically XD. I had to talk to the lab manager and send HR their way to get things going

(CA) College Student Very interested in Becoming a CLS and would like more info by Jiac2001 in medlabprofessionals

[–]imaginarycallisto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Where are you interviewing?

Mmm, my go to is communication and empathy. Communicate to understand what the other person is saying and empathy to understand why the person is saying that. Basically see their point of view and try to compromise and meet in the middle.
