advance for your help.

From my understanding, what I have learned throughout my recruiting career
is that in order to gross you have to have 60 credit hours of COLLEGE
SCIENCE classes, not necessarily a degree, but definitely the 60 credit
hours at least. This requirement is a nationwide requirement from what I
know,
Jennifer,
You should try some of the job placement agencies, they are always looking
for techs to fill jobs and there is no cost to you. I bet you will be
contacted just from placing this post on Histonet.

Hello all,
Our hospital is moving our histology department across the hall and have
asked us if we can find an alternative to the bunsen burner so they don't
have to install a gas line. The pathologist has told me that there is some
machine that can be used instead of a flame to burn the forceps

Why are you still using a bunsen burner? I believe there is a CAP
question about No open flames in the lab. I would suggest finding a
replacement.

I think that's the crux of her question - what can she use as an
alternative? You can find forceps warmers here.

I don't think I know of any labs that do air dried Diff quik type stains
on urine cytologies any more. You need to use some sort of
concentration technique, and the most frequently used for labs without
liquid-base processing apparatus is the cytospin. Several companies
make cytospin devices.

there are different slide preparation techiques used in cytology labs -
ThinPrep methodology, cytocentrifugation, membrane filtration are the most
