Thanks for the advice! I actually have read all of the Carson text and I have her companion flash cards and work book. I also have been reviewing the ASCP HT certification book. I guess I'm just paranoid about all of the possible stains on the exam. My B.S. is in health science and my minor is in clinical science so I have a grasp of staining mechanisms but I just want to be as prepared as possible.
