Unable to Give Salary Increase for Medical Technologist

Feb 9, 2012 Author admin

After my brother told me that he wanted to go to college, I quickly accounted all my money and found out that my salary as a medical technologist working for one of the biggest hospital in the big city won’t be enough to finance for his education. Because of that, I went to the office of the hospital admin the following day and asked him to give me a salary increase. However, I was so shocked when the admin told me that he can’t give me a raise because the hospital is losing money. Apparently, the hospital is being sued for malpractice and they are considering settling the case out of court to avoid a trial.

Because of that, the admin admitted that though I’ve been a very good medical technologist for the hospital, he is afraid that he is unable to grant my request as of the moment. It really made me sad.

Falling in Love While Working Overseas

Jan 3, 2012 Author admin

So you have been working in Manila for the past 24 months and about 5 months into your assignment, you meet a wonderful woman and the two of you immediately fall in love. Now you are getting ready to be transferred back to the states and you want to bring your girl with you. A little research on the internet reveals that it is not that simple. First, you have to apply for a K1 Visa for her because she will probably not get a Tourist Visa. Why won’t she get a Tourist Visa you ask? Well, it turns out that most single women from many foreign countries are denied them due to the lack of showing “strong ties” to their home country.

You see, the United States assumes that each and every foreigner wishes to illegally stay in the US upon entering on a Tourist/Visitor’s Visa. The only way to get one is if you can convince an Embassy that you will most likely return to your country due to these strong ties. Some people can overcome this presumption by showing that they 1. own real estate or a business, 2. have family, work at an important job, or some other compelling reason for them to return once visiting the United States. If you have a fiancee and wish to bring them to the United States, you may want to call Law Offices of Michael S. Solomon and request a free consult. They are experts in filing K1 Visas (also known as Fiancee Visas) and can quickly assess whether your fiancee will make a good candidate for immigration.

Types of Pharmacy Assistant Schools

Dec 26, 2011 Author admin

Certified Pharmacy Technician ProgramWhen you are searching for your first job in a pharmacy, it can be a little overwhelming with all the information you have to process, and the wealth of information on the internet or provided to you locally through newspapers or job fairs. With this rapid spread of the internet and its technology, you can now choose from a couple different options when it comes to obtaining a degree or certificate in pharmacy technology.

Where to Find Pharmacy Assistant Educational Opportunities The first major thing to look for in getting certification to work as a pharmacy assistant is a school or programs accreditation. You want to be sure that your school or educational facility is recognized in the industry and will benefit your career. You can review state and national regulations on certification through pharmacy organizations such as The Pharmacy Technician Certification Board or the Institute for the Certification of Pharmacy Technicians.

Online Schools: Pros and Cons Obviously, the most beneficial aspect of enrolling in an online degree or certificate granting program is the fact that you can study from home. You do not need to commute to and from school or make too many changes in your schedule, which is perfect if you already have a full or part time job while trying to learn new skills and advance your career. You can expect to find degrees in Health Information Technology, Pharmacy Technology, or a formal Pharmacy Technician training program. The only con of using online schools is not having a mentor or teacher to walk you through what may be confusing to you. Some people learn better by reading, while others learn by doing, and this is something you should judge in your decision on educational facilities.

Traditional Physical Colleges: Pros and Cons Traditional college settings most commonly include community colleges that grant Associate’s degrees, diplomas and certificates. They may offer degrees in Health Information Technology, Pharmacy Technology, or a formal Pharmacy Technician training program. They provide in person assistance and may even review with you how to physically count or prepare some prescriptions. This benefit is usually what draws people to the traditional educational setting.

What to Look For in Pharmacy Education Sometimes these programs also supply you with opportunities to link you to an in person internship to gain work experience, which is something to ask about before making a decision on what school and program you choose. You may be required to study clinical sciences as well as laws, ethics, and basic math skills. There is no wrong answer when choosing what type of school you would like to use to advance your skills and career as a pharmacy assistant.

My brother is a surgical assistant on a very important medical transplant team at a major university hospital. It is an honor to be part of this prestigious and very talented surgical team and they literally handle life and death situations everyday.

My brother has been a surgical assistant for this university hospital for over 15 years and just last year received the coveted invitation to join the transplant team as a surgical assistant.

The technology is advancing so rapidly in medical technology that I am in awe on the procedures that can be accomplished in today’s operating rooms.

Snaidero KitchenThere are several employment agencies in los angeles that provide great temporary contract positions with major movie studios and record companies. Since these studios and companies receive thousands of resumes each year, most prefer to have an outside agency help them screen potential applicants.

Those who do manage to get a full time job with these companies usually know someone on the inside or applied directly through an internship for the position.

These jobs generally last from one to twelve months, and provide job seekers great company exposure and an income.

You Can’t Live Well on the EMT Salary

Oct 22, 2011 Author admin

There’s more information on the EMT salary at, emergency-medical-services.net.

Trying to make ends meet on the salary of an EMT? Good luck with that. These trained medical professionals only earn about as much as a secretary. The national average pay for a basic EMT is thirty-three thousand dollars a year. Yes, people should be happy to have a job these days, but we aren’t talking about an average job. These people lay their own life on the line many times just like a fire fighter does. The EMT is part of the emergency medical services team that is out on rescue calls, rescuing people from life threatening situations. They need a lot more recognition that they get. The only people that seem to get kudos are the doctors waiting at the hospital for the EMT’s and paramedics to bring in the victims. It’s time for the EMS teams to get more recognition and higher pay. Until the EMT salary and the total EMS wages go up, I wouldn’t get involved in the field.

Medical School Personal Statement and Its Importance

Oct 11, 2011 Author admin

As you go through the requirements for your application in a medical school, perhaps you may take the part of a successful medical school personal statement lightly. After all, it is just an essay and no more than that. Hence, you may place greater importance on your GPA, extracurricular activities, MCAT, interview, and letters of recommendation. But do you know that your medical school personal statement is one of the most important parts in your application? Much of the school admission officers’ efforts are centered on this. They even read hundreds of essays like this since this will help qualify the applicant for enrollment. Hence such paper is not taken lightly and is subjected to many scrutinies once passed. This will be read by members of the school’s admission officers. And most of all, this paper will greatly influence your ability to be admitted for enrollment. So, better take this task more seriously otherwise, expect the worse to happen.

Versatility in Phlebotomy

Oct 2, 2011 Author admin

If you plan to work in a hospital after finishing your venipuncture program, do not be surprised if versatility is expected from you. In the modern hospital setting, a phlebotomist may be assigned to perform other tasks, aside from extracting blood from patients’ veins. Some of these other tasks are administering subcutaneous and intramuscular injections, performing IV flushes, dispensing heparin and others. These other tasks require special training, though, so you have to be prepared to devote a few more hours into acquiring new skills so you can cope with the demands of working in a hospital. Being able to multi-task is valued by employers because it allows them to hire fewer emploees, since phlebotomists would now be doing such other functions that are otherwise carried out by nurses. Although this could mean additional work for you, you will enjoy the opportunity to improve in your profession. Plus, it is also good to have variety in order to avoid boredom and stagnation.

If you are hoping to do an EMT training course then you might want to think about doing one online actually. There are a lot of them out there right now and you can complete a really big part of the course work right from your own home. This is what I did. The book studies can all be completed online from your PC which is actually a really big part of the course. After I was finished with that part of the online EMT training course I did have to go to a place where I could actually do that hands on training. No, you cannot do all of your EMT training online nor would you really want to. I mean, you have to have some hands on experience with actually treating patients to make a good EMT. But doing at lot of the course online saved me a lot of time.
