[Histonet] HTL/BS

[Patti Loykasek]

Thought I would throw my 2 cents out there, too. I received my HTL back in
the early 80's (hate to think how old that makes me!), I already had a BS
when I went to histotech school. I have found that it has made a difference
in my career to have the HTL. When I have worked in hospitals, I was on the
same pay scale as the med techs, the HT's were not. When I received my QIHC,
some kind med techs lobbied for me to get the same specialty certification
bonus that the med techs received. I feel fortunate to have mostly been
treated by physicians and co-workers with respect, and do feel that my work
is a profession (& I enjoy it). I am thankful  to have the wonderful
experiences, and I go home & have a glass of wine on the bad days!
