People need to talk about this field more, theres not enough grads coming out of school. Nurses and MDs have the prestige, but I don't even know about nursing anymore. People are leaving in the droves. Plus it just sounds like grueling, horrible work. YES TO MLS. 🌸✨
Thank you for putting so much actual information in your videos unlike most people. I do have a question why is it that hospitals always complain about not having employees but they never hire anyone?
Hey Dereka, i'm currently a highschooler in my senior year and i was so glad when you said it's a female dominant career! I just feel way more comfortable around women as a gay person than i would around other men.
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 .
Please if someone is studying MLT to tell us about the journey if it’s exciting or boring, what do you know about it, do they pay good, I have just started it, but I don’t know where’s this taking me I don’t know if I will like it or not
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!
I’ve been an MLT for 19 years. 14 of which were in a hospital lab. I love my job but could do without the disrespect of the MLT vs MT. I had plenty of time and opportunity to get my BSN but have no desire to work in management. I also don’t want loans to pay back so I am ok with being a MLT. But the disrespect that comes from my own lab leadership is awful.
It's fun! I agree with you 100% because I'm a medical lab tech in South Korea. Especially I have to request nurses to recollect blood samples everyday and they don't understand they didn't collect correctly the sample.
Great video and Thank you I’m a really interested in MLT career and trying to go back to college. Do you have any tips on MLT medical terminology study guides?
Whaaaaat? can you collect Bonet marrows samples?? I'm from Spain and only doctor are cualificated for It. Is It easy? Please Tell me. One kiss for you 🤩
Do you do bone marrow transplants or samples too? I just accepted a med tech position and I’ll be drawing labs and doing that with a doctor as well as processing. Looking into my mls now 🙏 hopefully bio and Chem isn’t too hard
Congrats on the new job! Currently no, I do not have to process bone marrow. Every hospital is a little different. Where I work now the phlebotomists collect the bone marrow, the lab techs stain the slides, and the pathologist review the slides.
Unfortunately yes! You will encounter people outside of the lab tend to look down on lab techs. I have experienced this a few times and learned to stand up for myself.
Hello! Can you recommend a good community college in GA or Atl ? I have been doing my research but I get discouraged when I look at the reviews on line 😔. Thanks
hello i need help finding a proper school for a two year associates in MLT could anyone recommend what's best. I'm from Chicago having a hard time with this.
It helps to go straight to the agency that gives licensure to practice. That way you know the schools program is legitimate. Theres about 8 programs that offer Medical Lab Technician none in Chicago proper but maybe these are close enough to commute to. Good luck! www.naacls.org/Find-a-Program.aspx
Usually over the 📞 phone, unless the nurse needs to come get blood.. the only time they may interact with the doctor is if they come to lab and usually that’s not good.. lol they may had labs pending for a few hours on a critical patient but all in all the phone!!
Jesus loves you; he died on the cross for you. The gospel is about God's GRACE and eternal life. Salvation is a free gift, there are no strings attached. Your sins are purged by the blood of Jesus once you believe.

Thanks this was helpful. What percentage of your time would you say is "screen work" e.g. report writing versus other tasks e.g lab work. THank you
THANKS for sharing

Since it is a female dominant career, will I have trouble getting or keeping a job as a male?
I don't think it should matter,it depends on your background an experience I was offered a MLT I position,I start in 2 weeks😁
Most likely No. The field is heavily in depend. I’m sure any facility would be glad to have you!
No of course not
IS m'y career in Africa if America i m the difficult to connu m'y career lab technicien. Can you hep me?
Great video and Thank you I’m a really interested in MLT career and trying to go back to college. Do you have any tips on MLT medical terminology study guides?
Thanks for sharing. Please talk a about LACE..is mandatory r license .???
I'm a medical assistant. could I work as a lab assistant?
I jus had my interview today with being a lab assistant 😊
I decide to study MLT program. Thanks for mention the pro n cons of this career
Hey idk if you’re still making videos but if you are can you do one on how you took notes and how you prepared for tests and things like that.
How easy would you say it is to obtain a bachelors after this and get a job with the CDC as an environmental micro biologist?
I like ur video. Do u have to perform phelmbotomy as MLT at your hospital. I asked some MLT that some said not at all. How is urs??
Love this u Keep it 100%
You missed one con. The pay is low compared to the workload like rn. Been doing this over 11yrs.
Depends where you live and work honestly. We can make 6 figures in this field in NY!!
If you live somewhere like South Dakota, you'll be stuck at $17 an hour forever. Move or change jobs.
Thank you for this video
Very helpful 🥰👍
Is it hard?
How long is schooling? Is it hard work?
So you have a certification?
I am short so I think the machines' screens are so high 🤭 should I wear shoes with lifters or they would be nice to lower it for me? Haha
THANKS what about passing ASCPS
Whaaaaat? can you collect Bonet marrows samples?? I'm from Spain and only doctor are cualificated for It. Is It easy? Please Tell me. One kiss for you 🤩
Would u say this job could be fully automated due to the shortage of students not enrolling in school for this major?
Do think most medical lab techs are introverts?
No, I have met a lot of very social lab techs!
Seeking a job for lab technician
B.sc Microbiology DMLT graduate
How to apply this job
Do you do bone marrow transplants or samples too? I just accepted a med tech position and I’ll be drawing labs and doing that with a doctor as well as processing. Looking into my mls now 🙏 hopefully bio and Chem isn’t too hard
Congrats on the new job! Currently no, I do not have to process bone marrow. Every hospital is a little different. Where I work now the phlebotomists collect the bone marrow, the lab techs stain the slides, and the pathologist review the slides.
Do people treat medical lab techs like they are inferior?
Unfortunately yes! You will encounter people outside of the lab tend to look down on lab techs. I have experienced this a few times and learned to stand up for myself.
Yes usually it’s the nurses… they feel like your results are wrong because they fell to use the proper collection of the specimens
Oh my goodness, don’t tell me about that rudeness, I’ve dealt with a lot of drama and I really don’t want to have it anymore, I had enough.
Yes! Me too I am over it with people.
Hello! Can you recommend a good community college in GA or Atl ? I have been doing my research but I get discouraged when I look at the reviews on line 😔. Thanks
Look for a school that is NAACLS accredited.
Hey when did you graduate??

How do medical laboratory technicians communicate with doctors, nurses etc ? Is it face to face communication or over the phone ??
Usually over the 📞 phone, unless the nurse needs to come get blood.. the only time they may interact with the doctor is if they come to lab and usually that’s not good.. lol they may had labs pending for a few hours on a critical patient but all in all the phone!!
MLT have to perform phelmbotomy a lot in the hospital??

You mean like magic?
