[Histonet] histotech needed near Charlotte NC

[RSRICHMOND <@t> aol.com]

We are in rather urgent need of a full time permanent histotechnologist (one 
tech leaving to take care of her parents elsewhere) and also of a temporary 
histotechnologist (one tech going on medical leave) - in Gastonia NC. We would 
prefer that the temporary work late night to early morning, but that's not 
essential. Prefer a certified histotechnologist, but will consider uncertified 
with three years experience. We are not in a position to offer OJT.

As many of you know, I'm one of five pathologists serving Gaston Memorial 
Hospital (see www.caromont.org), a 432 bed community hospital. We normally have 
five histotechnologists. Our histotechnologists accession specimens into CoPath 
and MYSIS, but do not gross (we have a pathologist's assistant), do 
cytopreparation, or assist at autopsies. Two histotechnologists work each Saturday, but 
no night or emergency call (pathologists do that). We have a Ventana 
immunostainer. 

Gastonia is a pleasant small city west of Charlotte, North Carolina. You 
could commute in either direction, and Gastonia is actually more convenient to the 
Charlotte airport than most of Charlotte is, right up Interstate 85. In 
addition to the readily accessible cultural attractions of Charlotte, we have the 
Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden (one of the nation's outstanding ones), the 
Schiele Museum of Natural History (which includes a planetarium), and my special 
thing, the Gastonia Greenway (just look up "greenwaybob" - one word - in Google 
- for my Web page about it).

Telephone 704-831-2173, human resources, and ask for the recruiter, Betsy 
Eaves. You can contact me by e-mail, but I'm not really involved in the hiring 
process, and cannot discuss salary or benefits.
