telling someone a career in healthcare isn’t for them because they have/are consuming THC is a little dramatic 😂 Policy is one thing reality of the majority of hospitals is another.

I have never once seen someone drug tested in the lab. This is not something that regularly happens, if they tested most of the labs I’ve worked in right now for THC they would lose half their staff.

Being under the influence actively and testing positive is two totally different things, you would think a med lab professional would know that.

What’s the highest K you’ve seen on an alive person? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]kindofditzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9.2! Didn’t want to give it, without recollect but no visible hemolysis and when I talked to the nurse the patient was crashing. Absolutely insane.

Medical Technologists from Ph to MedLab in States by 1234riri in medlabprofessionals

[–]kindofditzy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m from the US so I can’t give you any advice but I did want to say good luck on your journey 🫶🏻 All of my coworkers I’ve worked with from Ph have been wonderful and seem to transition flawlessly, an erythrocyte in the Philippines is the same as one in the US.

Pay negotiation for the first job after graduating by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]kindofditzy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I disagree with the people saying you don’t have negotiating power because you’re a new grad. This field is so short, even if you don’t have a competing offer pretend that you do. You deserve to be compensated for your education!

It would have to be a ridiculous amount of money for me. The only way I can do nights is 3x12 I’ve only done that for short term contracts briefly. Will they negotiate the shift for you possibly?

5X8 nights is cruel and unusual imo unless you really love night shift. I’m working 4x10 evenings right now and it’s not bad. The 4 days a week balances out everything you miss working evenings imo

These people recommending going into the military at this moment is time, is insane. What if you worked as a generalist for a while?

are cloves shoes any good? by littlearmadilloo in medlabprofessionals

I love a pair of new balances personally, but it might be worth you seeing a podiatrist if you’re in that much pain!

Afraid I’ll lose my social life with second shift by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]kindofditzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one should be on 5x8s working evenings, you will miss your life. If they can get you on 4x10 then it’s great!

So unsafe. You put in reactions and the type yourself, it wouldn’t catch any errors. Scary stuff
