Embedding is 1 block per minute ave. Note this is an average. It includes difficult and easy tissue, cleaning the waterbath after each block, writing/printing the slide number, etc. There may be variations in each lab that can change these numbers. Hope this helps.

Janice is correct on her timing numbers. However; when you are starting out it is best to get the flow for working at your station than beating a clock. You will gain your speed with learning accuracy which is more important for the patient at the end. We are in patient care not NASCAR and should always remember patient first, which translates to accuracy and the best sections we can produce on every slide. Speed will come as you do more blocks and get better.

All the speed in the world means nothing if you can't produce quality slides. The suggestion to do things the same way every time is a good one. However, learning what works well on what tissue is very helpful too. Like icing something that wrinkles or soaking something that shatters, etc. It all comes from experience. I plan to retire in 2 months but will keep my foot in the door working casual so that I don't lose my skills. I love this profession!
