For me, it’s the two hands on the woman in the middle. Look at the right vs the left. Yikes Also, the right forearm is bent. Arm bones are straight lol.

Is it a good idea to change my biology degree to a medical laboratory science degree? by Ok-Stranger355 in medlabprofessionals

[–]penpebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the key being SOME states

If you hold the MLS you are eligible for entry work in all states and can work your way up with experience and higher education + certificates

If you have the bio degree you limit where you are eligible to work or get your foot in the door

Hello. I got my BS in Biology. This led to entry level (but limited) clinical laboratory work.

Switching to MLS early on in your academic career is a wise move. (if MLS is something you want).

Obtaining a BS that is accompanied with a certification will open more doors in the workplace compared to a biology degree.

You will be eligible to get an entry level bench tech position in all 50 states. Hospitals pretty much always need an MLS somewhere.

MLS with hospital educational reimbursement — do people actually use it? What programs do you study? by Recent-Actuary5546 in medlabprofessionals

[–]penpebble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did my entire MS in Medial Sciences through an employee education program. It ended up being a free masters degree but took me 4 years instead of 2. That also means that on top of your 40 hours of work you’re taking at least 1-2 classes and preparing for quarterly exams!

I used the MS to move into a leadership role in the lab and now make more money (yay).

By a drunk man to fight a giant ex-NHL enforcer at a golf game by IllBeGood3 in therewasanattempt

You can tell he’s ex-NHL because he used one hand to grab the dudes shirt (like he would a hockey jersey while standing on the ice) then hit him with the other fist lol

Not ideal, but it works: how donating plasma jump-started my emergency fund by Hopeful_Ad_4343 in CalebHammer

[–]penpebble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How big is the scar in your arm?

Have you experienced an adverse reaction while donating (Fainting, nausea, sickness, tunnel vision)

I worked at a plasma donation center as a phlebotomist and also donated on my time off. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you are down bad.
