[Histonet] JACHO

[Joanne Clark via Histonet]

Hi Histonetters I have a question for those of you who have JACHO 
accreditation.  Part 5 of QSA.13.04.01 states that when a nonpathologist 
performs gross analysis under the supervision of a qualified pathologist, that 
the individuals work is reviewed and documented within 24 hours.  My question 
is how are you confirming and documenting this for specimens grossed in on 
Friday by the grossing tech that will not be read by the pathologist until 
Monday?

Hello,

I wish you had contacted me a few months back. Management moved a tech over 
internally here.

I will put you in contact with White River Junction VAMC . They may have a 
postion open. Also, I would check University of Vermont Med center;, 
Brattleboro Memorial hospital, Dartmouth Medical Center, Catholic Medical 
Center, Manchester.

I know people at all these locations, often times a latent position (everyone 
knows about it ) won't post until a certain period so you wouldn' t know its 
there without asking. That said, Ill ask around.

Good morning,

My name is Kaylie Grenier, I am a histology student at Goodwin College. Kelli 
Goodkowsky gave me your email address so I can get in contact with you. I am in 
my final semester of the program and I am hoping to relocate to New Hampshire 
at the end of August and am planning on taking my HT certification as soon as I 
am eligible. I was just wondering if you knew of any potential positions up in 
NH or if you knew of anyone I could get in contact with. I will be moving to 
the New London, NH area. Thanks!

Re: [Histonet] vibrations

[Rene J Buesa via Histonet]

Photomicrography could be affected at high resolution (immersion oil 
objectives) but probably could be eliminated if the microscope table is 
isolated from the floor with some vibration damping device.René

Happy Monday!
We are moving to a new space and part of our area is above the laundry - there 
is some vibration from there.  Does anyone have any experience with this and 
could you please share how you accommodated this?  Special flooring, pads, etc.
Thank you much!

Refuse the space and ask to be moved somewhere else.
Years ago our EM scopes were on the fourth floor and lines in photos taken 
could be seen from the vibration from people simply walking down the halls.
Finally moved the scopes to the basement on a section of concrete cut out 
completely separate from the rest of the building.?Paula Keene Pierce, BS,

Re: [Histonet] floor vibration

[Bernice Frederick via Histonet]

We have issues as HVAC is above us! Sometimes at the switch over from heat to 
air and vice versa the facilities personnel don't check the drains and we get a 
flood. Came in one morning to hear dripping and we were going to a self -eval 
that day.! Most of the water was in my garbage can (Thankfully) Just missed my 
PC and the TMA arrayer. Got part of the embedding unit (it was a big leak). 
Facilities had the wet/dry vac up in the ceiling to get rid of the water. Had 
to have a good chunk of ceiling replaced and repaired after that one. There was 
even water in the light fixtures!

An additional word of caution about placing the EM Lab under ANY kind of 
potential water leak.  Tim Morken and I can attest to that!  They installed a 
new CT scanner in Radiology directly above the EM Lab.  They broke some sort of 
water pipe during the installation and it leaked so much that part of the 
ceiling collapsed onto the scope!  They didn't bother checking to see if there 
was any damage on the next floor down- they just left.  Tim had a huge surprise 
waiting for him the next morning.  We always had to cover the scope with a 
sheet of plastic at night after that in case they installed something else.

I can think of two things.

First, relentlessly make fun of your building planner for putting a histology 
lab underneath a laundry. This is a mistake worthy of pointing and laughing.

Second, there are isolation tables and platforms. That's probably the first 
thing I would try.
