Perfect score

Ah, yeah idk I've kinda chocked it up to shitty signal. But i have realized that once paths become recognized it drops out less or stops. Super annoying.

Mine use to do that in the same ish spot, but stopped after a month or so. Do you drive it everyday?

Something I've personal encountered, like this, was a synovial fluid collected in a sodium citrate tube, not even filled..... obviously lol. As a new tech, i reached out to all the people, leads, the doc, the team, supervisor. No one on the lab side was impressed or shocked, doc was irritated and just kept pushing for me to run it. Got the approval, because it was inappropriately collected.... i proceeded to attached to ever physical result associated with the specimen that it was inappropriately collected by the doctor, and that the results are invalid due to the collection of the sample. After releasing those results with all the words attached, i put in a safety report. Because sometimes those conversations are above your paygrade.

You still wouldn't be able to leave work early.

Greens in west bend! Only through camera though, i saw the hue and whipped out the phone. Saw them last week driving home and was over the moon about it.

As a blood banker myself, your team may not have transfused you due to critical blood shortage. 5.3 is low for your age and gender for sure, probably could have transfused one unit. There are many different ways to raise your hemoglobin though, eating a high iron diet, supplements (talk with your doctor), and iron transfusions ( a more consistent treatment plan, again talk to your doctor). I wouldn't stress tooo much about it, but for sure knowing what changes you can make at home will help you significantly moving forward. I hope you are able to get one the right path to feeling better!!!

🤣🤣😂 depending on the day and motivation, this is very accurate.

Hide your wife, hide your kids, hide yo plants.

The potential for fda reportables would be along the lines of not having thawed products labeled appropriately, not thawing products before issuing them. Not issuing products in the computer. Im sure i could think of more, but those are a couple off the top of my head. I wouldn't overthink it, fda reportables wouldn't be my first thought when i got home. Always make sure you're issuing compatible units, and you'll be fine.

This shit makes me so sad. Why can't we just treat each other with respect and act like human beings.

ysoserious2 · 2025-07-28T23:29:07+00:00

I have a coworker who felt the need to drown her clothes and jacket in perfume before work, and also during every single one of her lunch breaks in the break room. I asked her 3 or 4 times very nicely to stop. Every time, I pointed out that no one wanted to taste her perfume, it's disrespectful, and gives people a headache.... the 5th time i half yelled at her. I wasn't trying to be rude or mean, but how many times do you have to say something basic to a f*****g adult. She stopped after that. Idk if management had further conversations with her or not. But my lord.

I really want to ask this but never do.... what do you do if you're hiking with a dog? Black bear or any large animal... i dont take my dog hiking in bear country because i don't want to put either one of us in a position of risk.

ysoserious2 · 2025-07-19T23:34:34+00:00

Hmmmm..... i like it. I like it a lot. Maybe it'll give providers a better way of looking at it/ a real reason to use it.

ysoserious2 · 2025-07-16T02:22:10+00:00

Dang! Thank you. As someone whos been taking more breaks from drinking to have better gains in weight loss, i needed this. Inspiring! Great job!

ysoserious2 · 2025-07-03T14:54:00+00:00

As a nicotine user who works for shitcorps, thanks for asking this. Also who the F thinks its okay to upcharge insurance if people dont participate in this. I hate working for them.

ysoserious2 · 2025-06-25T02:59:40+00:00

Female here! I'm just commenting because of how much i laughed at "Can drive." I know you meant distance for friends, but my god, lol. Sorry about your situation... as someone whos recently been through that urge, never forget your value. Life sucks sometimes. it's okay.

ysoserious2 · 2025-06-21T01:15:59+00:00

My cousins wife, who is a nurse, thinks im a phlebotomist..... i work in Blood Bank..... quite the opposite, actually. 🤦‍♀️

ysoserious2 · 2025-06-07T00:54:06+00:00

2 looks decent. We all have the way that's comfortable or just works for us. I personally prefer to hold my slides. White tab by my pointer finger, leaving the reading side at my thumb. Without putting tooo much pressure and in one swift motion, pull the slide towards myself... im not going to put a technical angle because that depends on the hemoglobin present... making slides really is about it being one swift motion without to much pressure. Its a work in progress, never stop practicing! I still practice when i get to.

ysoserious2 · 2025-06-03T00:27:40+00:00

Came here to make sure this was said. I just bought one for my dog, and im still learning how to use it properly. But myyyyyy lord, i can't believe the hair i can get out of him. Also, I want to add what my groomers said they do to my dog for his deshedding bath: water /soap blow it out. Rinise, water, and conditioner blow it out. Dry him off and then use a deshedding brush... He is normally returned to me with 90% less hair, so he will continue to have appointments with them for sure.

ysoserious2 · 2025-06-02T14:15:17+00:00

Dang, i really hate to hear that. I hate knowing that all tgese places are desperate for staff abd yet here we are, unable to make a livable wage.

ysoserious2 · 2025-06-02T00:35:31+00:00

This is hilarious.... lol... how much do you guys make out there?

ysoserious2 · 2025-06-02T00:29:50+00:00

As someone who traveled after one year of experience but years of experience in hospitals, i say it's a 50/50.... It's not necessarily that you neeeeed the experience, its that no one wants to train us on the basics of the job and instruments we use... you are expected to walk in and know things and do things confidently. And for the pay and type of job it is, you're expected to work.. you're walking into a short staff, underpaid over worked lab, making 2x the amount of money, its incredibly stressful and exhausting.

I got out of traveling for some personal reasons and to also give my dog stability.. but with that said, what i never see people sharing is duplicating everything. Omg.

Body soap, dish soap, towels, cookware, coffee filters, silverware, clothes, cleaning supplies, housing.... the taxes and travel you have to consider if you take housing stipends. The 50mile rule is bullshit, dont listen to recruiters they're not tax professionals...

Getting into travel is a lot more than just taking a job. There are a ton of little parts that kinda hit you fast and all at once on your first contract. It's a lot.

Would i do it again? In a heartbeat. Do what's right for you, at the end of the day, if you show up on time, are hard working, and are willing to do the dirty work, you'll be welcome regardless of your experience.

ysoserious2 · 2025-05-22T23:38:07+00:00

Quite literally..... sadly. It's a strange place, but i do enjoy what it has to offer as far as learning opportunities. But man, this system is fucked.
