Laboratory Assistant

Has anyone worked at a place where there wasn’t one toxic person there ? Or am I asking to much ? That would be my dream where there was team work and everyone worked together. No back stabbing or gossiping Managers who did the right thing

Access Care Manager

I’m a Manager of an understaffed scheduling department for a clinic. Instead of staffing the department properly I am getting pressured to do the work of my staff. I’m all for assisting with escalated calls and helping my staff through workflow issues. The impression I’m getting however is I’m being expected to take the same amount of calls as my agents which is not in my job description. How would you respond to this kind of pressure?

Phlebotomist

I am looking into moving to the Tampa Florida area. I have been a phlebotomist for 4 years I work in an outpatient lab setting. We draw blood, process samples, and perform EKG’s but I have worked the hospital floors along with Er as well. I am very good with drawing pediatrics and recently even went to the Mayo Clinic to get more training in pediatric draws. I am curious how much phlebotomist make in this area and if there are any areas I can work at that handle more pediatric patients.
