General Lab Tech. I cover all areas of the lab. Chemistry, Hematology, Blood Bank and Microbiology.

Added skills related to this position:

• Chemistry: Maintenance and troubleshooting of chemistry analyzers. I was made a "super user" and given additional training by the manufacturer. I am also in charge of supervisor review of QC.
• Blood Bank: This is the first hospital I have worked at with an Ortho Vision Analyzer. This position also gave me a lot of antibody identification experience, as previous hospitals sent positive antibodies to Red Cross to work up.
• Further progression and experience in all areas of the lab.
• Experience in training new techs and phlebotomists.
• Processing outpatients, advising processors on what needs ordered, and resolving processing errors when needed.

General Lab Tech. I covered all areas of the lab. Chemistry, Hematology, Blood Bank and Microbiology.

Added skills related to this position:

• I was the only tech in the lab from 1900 to 0500(one phleb). This position improved my leadership, time management and efficiency skills.
• As a lone graveyard tech, you have to be well trained and know where all the resources are to resolve any problems. This position greatly improved my experience level as a tech and the ability to solve problems calmly and efficiently, even when there is no other tech or management to lean on.
