    Dereka, I enjoyed your explanation of your experience. But I do know for a fact that here in NYC, most managers of Laboratories in Hospitals are Doctors. And like you said, a lot of the time, it's a Pathologist, although I worked in a lab where it was a Biologist with a Doctorate. Actually, I have worked in Pathology in a hospital and also in an Outpatient lab.

    I am in nursing school first semester and I have anxiety every morning when I have to take my exams. I am just dreading nursing school and just not very into patient care and just the whole nursing duties I can't imagine myself doing. I Just don't know if I am making a mistake to push through it or should I just withdraw at this point. I love learning about the cells and just being able to have my own space when it comes to nursing its big on team collab. can someone please give an advice suggestion . I am not getting any younger an do not want to waste anymore time .

    One of the best jobs for those who like to be left a lone to do their work in peace. You get used to stat orders that are annoying but they come to you in a pneumstic tubes and results nowadays are just uploaded to EPIC/LLEAP. Occasional phone calls or messages via pager (most preferred pager messaging, as did I) It's like microbio but you get paid well to do it, you need to have an organized mind or it'll feel like you're all over the place.

    Thanks so much for your informative videos! The Q & A one was extremely helpful too :) I'm just beginning my schooling for MLT and I really wish as an introvert I had known about this career sooner (like decades sooner). I'm curious how you got into traveling MLT?? Did you work/gain experience somewhere first before taking a position like that or was that your first job as an MLT? Thanks!
