new mod [Nov. 14th, 2011|10:44 pm]

kristy2078
Hi, guys :) I am the new maintainer/owner here since the previous one abandoned this one around 2007.

So, if anyone has ideas of what we could do here, like games, Q&A, resources, etc., fire away :)

Can anyone recommend a good study guide for hematology? Like with summaries, questions and answers, etc. Thanks :)

When a tech is working on a blood cell differential procedure, do we continuously move the field of view or move, stop and count, move, stop and count, and so on? How many fields should we observe?

I am officially in the program :) I will be starting last week of Aug and I guess I would be classified as a junior in terms of course load. My advisor thinks all I need to do (if I want to be certified) is take four semesters of classes and a couple of internships (one summer and one semester). I do still have to take a stats course, but that will be over with soon.

I also have noticed that the mod for this comm is long gone for whatever reason, so if no one has an objection, I will ask the LJ crew to let me become the mod in a couple weeks. I am tired of seeing that expired photobucket background :P

When in school for med lab science, what's the dress code? Lecture classes probably don't require anything special, but for labs? I need to know what type of pants I should be wearing, because I have a hard time with shopping. So, if I give myself time to find pants that fit, I can be more comfortable wearing them.

Alright so I applied to UNH in NH, and I got this:

Thank you for your application for transfer admission to the University of New Hampshire.

Interest in Biomedical Science: Medical Laboratory Science at the University of New Hampshire has increased dramatically in the past few years. This increased demand, coupled with finite spaces for transfer students, requires that we limit our offers of admissions to this major. Given this keen competition for admission, the Admissions Committee is deferring a final decision on your application until after the application due date of April 1st, at which time we will conduct a closer examination of all on-time applications to BS:MLS. You can expect to receive a final decision on your application by May 15th.


Hopefully I can still get in.

Recent news: Yup, I got in! :)

Other than Fastweb.com and on campus, what are good sources of scholarships for med techs/lab techs?

New Grad MT Can't Find Work [Aug. 31st, 2010|11:32 am]

[Current Mood |frustratedfrustrated]

Hi,
I graduated in May but I'm having trouble finding a job. I've applied to dozens of openings but no offers. My program was accredited, I have laboratory experience and yet no one will give me a chance. I don't get it!

I'm scheduled to take the ASCP exam in November. Could that be affecting my chances even though the jobs I'm applying to only require you to be eligible? Any other new grads out there struggling to find work? Am I missing something? I'm in central Maryland if that makes a difference.

certificate vs 4-year degree [Jul. 25th, 2010|08:12 pm]

kristy2078
I was looking at 4-year degrees (well, shorter since I can transfer credits from my biology education degree), but my brother (a chemical forensist) tried to convince me that a certificate program would be just fine.

So... which is better and how?

I am considering working as a medical/clinical lab tech and I wouldn't mind collecting specimens from various sources (not just stay in a lab all week).
