Happy Lab Week
It’s officially Lab Week. An entire week dedicated to raising awareness about our field. It also just so happens that I’ve officially completed my clinical rotations! I’m in the home stretch--22 days until I take the Board of Registry exam.
The way our program is set up allows us 3 weeks of review lectures and study time. I cannot put into words exactly how thankful I am for that! I’ve made my study schedule and I’m going to try my best to stick to it.
There’s a lot of excitement in the air about our State Convention starting on Sunday. The convention kicks off Sunday evening with the Student Bowl Competition. Our team is excited and ready to go! We’ve done “practice” bowls every week for the last 2 months and we can’t wait to see if we’ve got what it takes to win it all!
Of course, the other teams from my school feel the same way. It’s all in good spirits, of course. Above all, the Student Bowl has turned out to be a motivating study tactic.
The next two days of the convention consist of the Poster Competition, which I am also excited about, and various seminars. It looks like it will be a great learning and networking experience.
Happy Lab Week to all of the people who make the lab function as smoothly as possible! Thank you to all of the MTs, MLTs, phlebotomists, lab assistants, lab secretaries, lab managers, lab directors, lab IT administrators, pathologists, histotechnologists, cytotechnologists, CLS program advisors and educators, and anyone else I may have forgot to mention!
Thank you for all that you do!
