I'd get all excited, except that I've noticed that especially since pluto entered Capricorn, every time I had even a ray of sunshine, the stormclouds swarm and all hell breaks loose. So I'm keeping my head down, so to speak. It's scheduled for near the end of April.
The interview is at the hospital where I did my chemistry rotation and where I'm hoping to work. The job is per diem, which is fine. I was thinking about it last night and realized what an anachronism the hospital is. There are all about my age, or a little younger, except the manager. One of the techs I worked with mentioned how she didn't understand how somebody could expect to manage a group who doesn't actually know how to do the job. She is the type that the corporates now put in charge -- she has a masters in something scientific, but apparently not MLT-specific. So she is a scientist but literally has no idea of the details on how we do our jobs. And I realized last night how the workers have made this work so much to their benefit. The lead chemistry mlt has turned her morning QC into a good 2 hours of paperwork -- she is more anal-rententive and piles up more history of QCs than anyone I've seen anywhere. Up along the lines of bloodbanking. I'm going to ask a fellow student if that's how they do it at the other hospital, but I've never seen anything like it going on there, so I doubt it.
The point, of course, is that along with the absolute massive cya, it keeps her employment hours up :rofl:
Apparently blood banking still does tube testing instead of gel testing. Gel testing is more expensive, but much, much faster, simpler and more sensitive to boot. But tube testing...keeps the employment hours up :rofl:
Unlike the hospital where I'm at right now, their techs do zero phlebotomy. None. That suits the phlebotomists, who were happy to wing me along because I'm no threat to them. It suits the techs because frankly we didn't get into tech in order to do direct patient contact. And it keeps everybody "more" employed. :rofl:
When I did my hematology rotation, I was scolded and sneered at repeatedly for taking too long on differentials even by the program director. At the hospital where I'm interviewing...the seasoned tech took longer than *I* do. Keeps the employment hours up. :rofl:
These things also, btw, increase job satisfaction and, in the long run, quality. Manager is clueless because she doesn't know how the jobs are done period, let alone how they're done elsewhere :rofl: And I suspect she wouldn't care anyway...unlike the bitches where I'm at right now, who will throw anyone to the wolves, she's a mother hen who keeps the stronger chicks from pecking at the weaker ones and just protects her flock instead of sacrificing them to the corporate wheels :D
