[QUOTE who="TX91 in Seabrook, Texas"]I am about to finish my BS-CLS with honors and I am confident about passing the ASCP.
I already have a BS Biology so I will be taking the ASCP before graduation in June 2017.
Once I do that, when exactly do I "apply" to take the CA-CLS exam or quiz?
Also I do not have the "minimum 32 weeks" but when we rotate in each lab , its well over 40 hours/week so our 20 weeks is more than what most do in 32+. Our program director will be writing directly to LFS.[/QUOTE]
Seabrook Texas! I miss Houston a lot.
However, very unfortunately I graduated from MD Anderson we have about 8 months clinical rotation with "well over 40 hrs/week". I tried to apply the CA right after but failed.
Two Suggestions:
1: check every courses you have, especially physics and chemistry, remember, CLINICAL chem and ANALYTICAL chem are the only chem they approved
2. work in a lab as GENERALIST for a full year. Asking coordinator and each lab you rotated to proof your hour is way harder for CA. Make it simple. 4 bench, one year, done.
At the end, I do not care any other thing. My friend in CA got offer from Kaiser and they pay roughly $130k. Come on, double even triple than the other states, every effort pay back!!! My mateiral has been approved by LFS and I am also on the way to CA.
