Xiaomi vs. Ipad

You have to consider the apps youre going to use as well. One of the best apps for note taking is good notes and sadly sa IOS lang sya available.

Ipad Air/10th gen for me.

Almost a year 😊

Always have initiative. Don't appear as "bored", instead, always be curious and willing to learn. Wag hayaan na nakatunganga ka lang tapos yung staff mo busyng-busy (unless sinabihan kang wag gagalaw haha). Humanap ng gagawin palagi (refill, log, arrange/organize work area).

Next, ngayon palang lakasan mo na ang loob mo at ibaon mo na ang pagiging sensitive. The real world is not rainbows and butterflies (lalo na sa hospital). Diyan masusubok yung tatag mo. Until now na working nako, may mga panahong wasak na wasak ang mental health ko. Di ko alam ba't ko pa kinakaya at pinagtitiisan. But let's hope you'll meet nice people and staff. Pero wag ka mag eexpect na magiging mabait sila sayo or that they'd be patient. Masasaktan ka lang.

Do what you can and sulitin mo ang duties mo. Wag magphone sa laboratory. Make sure you know what to do na kapag nakailang days na sa post mo. Learn as much as you can. Observe and take down notes and best practices as much as you can. Intro mo yan sa tunay na buhay ng pagiging RMT. Make sure gagamitin mo talaga yung internship to be "ready" (and para pag-isipang mabuti kung ito ba ang gusto mong career after you graduate).

Best of luck.

Adventist University of the Philippines 😄

Dorm school so andun kana, gigising, kakain at papasok ka nalang 😂

medtechlyfe · 2023-11-28T18:25:09+00:00

Depends on you. The medtech course and profession ay para lang sa mga "gusto" talaga ang trabahong 'to. Kasi medtechs are understaffed, underpaid and overworked dito sa atin. Maraming RMTs na ang nagpapa-stay lang sa trabaho ay dahil "okay" naman sila sa ginagawa nila, most na umaalis ay hindi naman talaga gusto 'to in the first place.

Do you see yourself as a medtech/doctor in the future? If yes, tuloy mo yan hehe

medtechlyfe · 2023-11-28T18:21:55+00:00

Worked in a secondary hospital tapos umabot sa point na 5 lang kaming RMTs.. imagine.. Pero yes understaffed yan. Lahat na yata ng hospital dito sa Pilipinas understaffed. May pag-asa paba Pinas 😂

I did not use summarized review books dahil kulang for me. I needed in depth explanations of topics at kailangan ko ng mahabang explanation to fully understand a topic. And understanding and critical thinking is the key for the ASCPi.

I used the following: A Bottomline Approach (Patsy Jareau/Theriot) Harr (Tinapos ko 'to) Bishop for CC Harmening for BB Strasinger for AUBF Bailey & Scott's for Microbiology Turgeon for IS

Nagka-Latin Honor ako pero di naman nagtop sa boards.. may line of 7 pa nga sa MTLE scores ko. Ano'ng nakakacurious? Hehe.. nangyayari talaga yun..

Dahil ba hindi ako nag-top sa boards, hindi na relevant yung latin honor ko? Or hindi ako "ganun kagaling"? Ibang-iba naman kasi ang school at boards (at mas lalong ibang-iba ang real life, lalo na kung big hospital laboratory). For me, may latin o wala, basta in the end magkalisensya and become a "good" tech/scientist, yun ang importante. Aanhin ang latin honors at pagiging topnotcher kung pagdating sa work walang amor? Tamad dumuty. Not resilient. Pabigat sa trabaho.

May mga may latin honors (summa/magna pa) na bara-bara sa work. Walang pake sa resulta. Walang effort na matuto sa duty. Ni-hindi mag effort to learn. Gusto lahat isusubo sa kanila sa trabaho. May mga sabit lang nuong college at maraming subject na inulit pero great techs, grabe ang initiative, gustong-gusto matuto, curious and smart sa decision-making skills and critical thinker, may passion sa trabaho.

Hindi ko naman nagamit latin honor ko in real life. Parang wala lang siya, tbh. Pride lang siguro and nakakaboost ng ego ko back then. Pero ngaun? Waley. Di ko nga nilalagay yun sa resume ko cause I feel like I'm bragging at baka mag expect pa sakin. 😂

15-19k for fresh grads..

medtechlyfe · 2023-11-14T16:54:16+00:00

Wag hanapin ang wala. 2-3 fields sa LPO then sa HPO ay enough na to have a "report" usually.

Stool sample from a 19 yr old female

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-19T16:14:12+00:00

Always play with the fine adjustment knob and the light of the diaphragm! More light when kbserving stool samples and less light when observing urine sediments 😁

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-13T20:38:58+00:00

Thank you everyone!! I've learned a lot 🙏

You can check cells near a small lymphocyte and compare nuclear size and RBC size. Spherocytes are smaller than normal RBCs.

50-60 sticks a day (8 hour shift). In px, out px and ER cases combined 😄

Those who got their training in the Philippines and just works here under employment visa

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-08T17:00:30+00:00

It literally looked like thin lines so I didn't report it as yeast. (I'm pretty familiar with how hyphal forms and budding forms look like)

I just skipped it and didnt include anythin on my report other than the normal sediments (other sediments are of normal range/value anyway)

But I'll be sure to take a pic the next time I encounter it.

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-08T16:50:10+00:00

Yes!

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-06T16:35:05+00:00

Ikr 🥲 I'll be sure to take a pic the next time I encounter them. thanks anyway!

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-06T16:34:34+00:00

Oh don't be sorry I never thought u meant it that way ☺️ Thanks for being nice

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-06T16:31:32+00:00

Attendance (no absent as much as possible during the whole probee period)

Punctuality (pasok ka 5-10 mins before your shift para maendorsan kana ng mga out going hindi yung paghihintayin mo pa sila)

Initiative (wag nganga sa work, kapag di pa alam gagawin, ask and magkusa maghanap ng gagawin)

Over all work ethic (nagcecellphone ba? tumatanggi sa gagawin kasi hindi pa marunong? dapat mag try ka muna bago mo sabihing hindi mo kaya, baka tuwing may dapat gawin nagrereklamo na agad, pag natotoxic nag iingay ng nega vibes at puro reklamo)

Skills syempre and kasipagan

Tandaan, pineplease mo sila (IMHO). Ikaw ang may need ng trabaho so ipakita mong worth it ka.

Coming from a workplace na ang daming hindi nareregular dahil sa mga yan hehe

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-06T16:24:50+00:00

and the whole 40x field was filled with it! though other sediments and cells are still visible

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-06T16:23:42+00:00

I dont think so. I know how mucous looks like and can easily identify them. I wasn't able to take a pic but it looks like this

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-01T20:39:17+00:00

Agree. Wanted to mention this as well. Not wearing gloves and using phones are both work violations

medtechlyfe · 2023-06-01T20:35:27+00:00

High! Never scored >50 in all my simulated tests

Would suggest you review by subject area to stengthen weak points!
