This was such a cool video. I’ve been a lab processor/accessioner for over 10yrs ( I know 😩) and I finally made the decision to transition to a MLT. Everything you’ve said is all facts! I’ve worked at 2 trauma hospitals (core and trauma lab) and currently work for my local health department. I’m excited to finally move on up.
Congratulations! Very proud and excited for you :) life is too short and you got this :)
Hi. What was the requirements for you to become a lab processor? Thank you❤
@@TimTim__ Hello, I went through a Lab Assistant program. It was 12 wks and I received a certificate. That’s all I had when I applied for my lab positions. Hope that helps.
@@thetiredfemme3652which state are you from?
What exactly does a specimen processer do ??
I’ll probably do this if I don’t get into my internship the first year, just so I can get experience! Thank you for this info!
That’s a good idea, it will give you slime experience to see how it is working in the field. You’re welcome 😊
@@RosaPerez you dont need a colloquial euphemism to work in the medical field, LMAO... girl slime experience sounds like hazin to the underpaid undergrad! Don't take that kinda insult. unless youre at your rock bottom. hey batmans on imma go watch that.
Oh I didn’t even know this career was an option! Btw I wanted to drop a vid idea.
Video idea: a tier list of the classes you had to take for the mls program based on enjoyment and/or difficulty
Thanks for the idea! I've been wanting to do a video like this :)
Going in for my first interview at Quest. Hope that I pass the specimen test. Your video is very appropriate for me, also. TY. Rosa!!!
That's great to hear! How did your interview go?
Infomative, You've really done it all. Wow girl boss
Thanks Sonique! 🤗 I appreciate the support!
Can you do more day in the life videos because I feel that they give me a great idea of what I will be doing if I become a CLS
That will be my goal :) the only thing is that I work in research now so it is quite different but if that's something people want to see I will definitely film :)
@@RosaPerez I would love to see that! Thank you
@@jesusgonzalez-ge1vt you’re welcome:)
Also, not all states require a license and the pay will differ state by state along with the level of education. The degree programs for MLS now extends as far as a Doctorate degree in the field. I’m doing my master of science degree for MLS at a medical school in NY. So yes this field is broadening and you also need to know not all colleges are NAACLS accredited so licensing will differ state by state as well.
You are super awesome. I just subscribed. Thank you this was informative to me.
Awesome! Thank you!
Can becoming a laboratory specimen processor help a person advance/gain skills to become a medical lab tech or is a completely different path?
yes, it can help you see how the laboratory works. It will help you know how a lab runs and you may potentially be offered an employment opportunity as a MLS if you do decide to continue your education.
Is there a chance for me to get the job as specimen processor while I have no prior experience of laboratory and I’m a business student?
Yeah I wouldn’t see why you wouldn’t be able to. What makes you interested in wanting to learn that?
@@RosaPerez I know no knowledge in that field and even though I’m graduating in the fall with my bachelors in accounting, it’s not really the route I want to go for as much anymore. I’m just pushing through to get that degree and be out. So I’ve been looking around to try something new and see if I like it too.
@@empireorient733 that’s understandable at least you realized you want to try something else out :) If you get an interview for a position like that definitely say that you had a change of heart and just be honest with them and then we understand and I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to have you on their team!
@@RosaPerez thank you so much!
You’re welcome:)
What basic scientific procedures is there to study up on when applying for an entry level lab processor?
This is a good question, I would say basic math skills. The rest is taught on the job.
I do have more questions for you, what do they ask in the job interview and how to answer the questions
Hello, I believe I have an interview on the job interview for this and what kind of questions I asked. If I don’t let me know, but I’m pretty certain I do.
What is the scope and roles of medical laboratory technologist in the research field? You can make a vedio on this 💡❤️🙏🏾
I'd love to make a video on this topic soon!
Day two of a specimen processor and it’s so much information I have no background
It’s a lot but with any job it gets easier with time.
Were you given training when you get hired?
You bring up an excellent point! This is what I try to remind managers for central receving departments who complain about poor employee performance. The job only requires a H.S. diploma, and for the majority of applicants, this is their first introduction to a highly technical, clinical, and corporate job within a very niche field. It takes a lot of time and continued educational investment from leadership for most people with zero clinical/science experience to get acclamated.
This is great information thank you! What you are saying is correct.
Hi Rosa ! I’ enrolled in a phlebotomy program this year but I would love to work in a lab setting later on. Do you think being a phlebotomist will help me advance and maybe get a position as a lab assistant / specimen processor.
Do they train you? Or are you expected to know everything?
They train you on the job.
Hope this helps :)
Hi, is lab specimen processor something like a lab prn?
It could be a PRN position but it is not specifically that. You put the specimens that come in into the computer system and may have to do other things such as aliquot the samples.
Yes please about research THANKS
yes1
I love your videos so much! They helped me choose MLS as a major in uni 💜😊
But I was just wondering if it is possible to get into med school after majoring in MLS (if I didn't take the permed track) like can I still become a doctor if I majored in MLS regular track?
Yes you can! You would have to look into the med school requirements and see if there are any classes you still have to take :)
I apply for that position in a laboratory but I’m nervous bc they want to interview is processing mostly typing and do you have to be really fast
If you can, take some time to practice your typing. It is a skill that comes with time and practice. You can do this by trying to find an online typing program to help with this. Best of luck in your journey.
I just got hired for this job. I’m so excited
Do you know what they pay an hour?
@@breyana8355 19-26 based on experience
@@luciem4562 thank you
How is it ? I got an interview for this
?
What are the dress codes for a specimen processor? PPE?
You’re most likely have to wear scrubs and yes a lab coat and you will also need goggles and gloves 🧤
@@RosaPerez thank you for the info.
@@Ntxawm07 you’re welcome!
Lab clothes
@@RosaPerez sorry if this is a dumb question but what if you wear glasses? can you wear the goggles over them?
Do you know the major manufacturers of the machines that is use to process and examine the machines?
I do, there are quite a few and there are different ones that specialize in different areas of the lab
Hi there! Looking to be a specimen processor to eventually become an MLT/MLS. I just got my BS in Biomedical Sciences. When you interviewed for this position, did they ask a lot about your education? In other words, did it feel like they were quizzing you about your science background? Trying to prepare for a potential interview and I'm a bit nervous.
Hi! Thanks for reaching out. When I applied to become a specimen processor I did not feel like they asked very many questions about my science background. It was more about how I work as a team. Let me know if you got the position. Best of luck.
@@RosaPerez Thanks for the reply! I got the position and I love it! I totally recommend getting into this field as a way of getting your foot in the door to the MLT/MLS world. It's very reflective of what I did in college, but also offers new challenges and opportunities that will prepare me for MLT/MLS certification. So happy!!
@@misshorton2163 you’re welcome. I’m glad you were able to land that position and that you are enjoying your new job!
@@misshorton2163 I’m glad you feel like your new position is helping you get your foot in the door! Please send updates and best of luck 🤗
What do they teach in the trainig ?? Is it hard or simple stuff
They teach you how to accession the samples into the laboratory information system. It tells the doctors and nurses about patient lab results.
At first it can be a little challenging if you have no prior exposure to the lab but like with any job it does get easier!
@@RosaPerez any tips for job interview? It's my first time and I'm nervous
@@badbella1785 make sure to research details of the job you will be doing. It will show you are interested and are excited about the position. Be yourself and try to ask questions after they complete your interview.
Best of luck please let us know how things go!
Hi Rosa. I'm a Medical Laboratory Scientist too and I'm here in hotel quarantine. I just want to know how or what is the easiest way to find a job as Scientist here in Sydney. Thank ya 😊
Thanks for sharing this video! I heard you say "the pay isn't that good" so how much does this position start off?
Thats about right actually
It depends what area of the country but I'm sure it can go anywhere from $12-$19, actual numbers may vary. I would look up jobs near you to see how much they offer.
I have a question , being a MLS can you have tattoos ?
Yes. I have two :)
Do you have to be a phlebotomist or MA to work as a processor
No you do not have to be :)
No. You go be a lab scientist for degree. Its chill work . Go do it
What could I wear for the interview?
business casual: nice top/blouse and dress pants, closed toed shoes
I applied as sample handel assistant
Did you get the position?
I am doing an ms in health informatics. is this a good field for me to start?
What is your end goal in your career? I would focus on that and see if this is a good route for you to take.
@Rosa Perez did you pass the ascp?
Hello! I will make a video discussing this very soon.
Can a certified lab assistant get this kind of job?
I think it would be possible!
I’m completely master of chemistry in India how do get this job please inform me
Hello. What are the requirements. To work in this area .???..THANKS. hugs to u pet
