    Good Morning Netters,

    We are looking to hire a histology assistant in our lab.  I was
wandering
if anyone had any job descriptions as well as job requirements that they
could share with me?  We have one but it very minimal as to what the histo
assistant should and should not do so our lab manager would like to see what
other hospitals are doing and requiring for this job position.   Thanks in
advance,  amy
