[QUOTE who="WVLAB in Houston, Texas"]I'm also a generalist with blood bank experience. So what if a Mlt there cant read a diff. That's more work for you. Oh and I also know how to correlate Glucose and protein in a CSF to lab findings on a gram stain and cell count. Let's see what else can I do. We can all sit here and talk about what we know. What I do know for sure is that my diverse background and my experience will out trumph yours anyday. A MLT generalist is always more valuable than a MT who specializes in Hematology for 30yrs. Multitasking is in and sitting on your butt thinking your to good to do anything else because of your degree is out. I noticed that alot of older MT's hide behind their degree. It's because your intimidated and worried about losing your job because you were stupid enough to stay in one department you entire career. Who would you hire a 30yr MT who worked in micro 30yrs that is now applying for a hematology position or an MLT with hematology experience? Which one would be harder to train? The BS MT of course. You would probably have to re-teach hematology. Yeah a BS is always better than a AS but when you lose your skills to specialize in one area that BS isn't worth the paper it's written on. You still get the higher pay but you are basically useless in other departments.[/QUOTE]
Hi WVLAB -- You make some excellent points here. I am a medical consultant/recruiter looking to hire 2 MT/MLT generalists for my hospital client. Are you or someone you may know in the job market? Thanks Joe. joecoco@labrecruiters.com
