Curt From relia1 at earthlink.net Tue Nov 4 11:12:07 2025 From: relia1 at earthlink.net (relia1 at earthlink.net) Date: Tue, 4 Nov 2025 12:12:07 -0500 Subject: [Histonet] New Blog post UP: blog: Stop Using Band-Aids for Staffing Shortages Message-ID: <003601dc4dae$27b6c550$77244ff0$@earthlink.net> Hi Histonetters and Histopeeps! As we approach the new year, many labs are facing a familiar challenge: Travel tech contracts are ending mid-January, and the scramble to fill roles is already underway. But here?s the truth?temporary fixes like panic hires and short-term contracts rarely lead to long-term stability, culture, or growth. In my latest blog, I break down: * Why travel techs and panic hires cost more than you think * Smart short-term solutions that actually work (think PRN sharing, referral blitzes, and strategic overtime) * How to build a permanent pipeline before the panic sets in ?

They can be very valuable to Pathologists and clinicians globally. The blocks we need must not contain any patient names or other patient identifiers. Only the primary diagnosis i.e. H-Pylori, Fungus, Amyloid etc. There are several ways we can make it worthwhile to you to provide them to us. 1. If your organization allows, we can pay you directly for the blocks at very competitive rates. 2. Our Parent company can alternatively provide your lab with an endless array of consumables including slides, cassettes, slide folders, tubes, pipettes and even small equipment for your blocks. See www.springsidesci.com for your options. 3. With a current inventory of over 200,000 blocks, we can trade for blocks that we both require. We will send you shipping labels and boxes. When we receive your blocks we will quickly melt, re-embed and re-process your blocks (if necessary,) in new cassettes and immediately destroy and dispose of your old cassettes. Please contact me directly at hmurong at springsidesci.com for a current list of blocks on our "hot list," Best, Helena Helen Murong MD.
