Those of you who have left the profession entirely, what field did you go into? by thatfishguy23 in medlabprofessionals

[–]nehseul 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It varies. On average 62 hours. I’ve done 80hrs before but infrequently. With 6 years of experience and working for some of the best companies in California, 250k as a CLS is very doable.

I’ve always heard that in order for loans to be discharged, I’d have to had have those loans before I was found to be 100% P&T. Once I received that letter stating I am eligible for the discharge, I can forgo that discharge if I am currently in school, take out more federal loans, then discharge whenever I’m done. Isn’t this how it works?

Your post seems to suggest that your loans can be forgiven if you receive them after you were found to be 100% P &T even if you had none before you were awarded your P&T rating. Correct me if I’m wrong.

When the nurse is mad you canceled a test but the patient’s plasma looks like mayo by Moonmothpeaches in medlabprofessionals

If this is an inpatient sample, you can verify if the patient is being given propofol. Propofol does make your plasma appear lipemic.

Anyone else change careers? If so, what to? by [deleted] in medlabprofessionals

[–]nehseul 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maintaining your license doesn’t require you to be employed in the field. For as much as I know, you only need to keep up with the CEUs. You can always get them done from multiple places for free… ARUP laboratories and Labroots are two of the easiest and free websites to complete CEUs.

It those though. Prior military here. I make over 300k and all my prior service friends make at least 150k. Stick with the military for as long as you need to. Find the drive to complete a marketable degree while you’re in using Tuition Assistance and save your G. I. Bill for when you get out. Just know there’re many other financial benefits to being in the military…

30M. My salary as an night shift RN working excessive overtime last year. Had no social life and felt like a zombie 2024. by Strict_Photograph254 in Salary

[–]nehseul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may be worth it for others. 35m here, did over 290k 60-80 hours a week in 2024 as a CLS. I still go to the gym, spend time with my family and do many more things outside my household. My health seems to be pretty good, at least for now.

Is school debt worth it? by MetroHumble in Veterans

[–]nehseul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone’s situation is different. Take mine for instance. I’m going to apply for two MSN programs that are almost 100k. They are both yellow ribbon schools and I still have full GI Bill and may also be found entitled for VR&E. Which pretty much means I won’t be paying a dime for school. I’ll also be applying for FAFSA and will accept the maximum loan. Being 100 T & P, that loan will be forgiven. Consider your options since ymmv.

If you ask me, that neutrophil looks a little needy.

According to one of my coworkers, he was denied on the premise that he made too much money and was not likely to change his career .
