Today was a memorable day. I received my certification from ASCP in the mail. I am officially Rhonda M. Daily, MT(ASCP).

What a whirlwind the last month has been! I've graduated, passed the boards and began working all in a matter of a few short weeks.
After the whole Student Bowl experience, I was feeling pretty well prepared to take the Board of Registry Exam. Of course, I continued to study till the very end. Our class of six decided to take the exam the ...
