[Histonet] Re: Histonet Digest, Vol 41, Issue 8

Jason,

I was mainly referring to the PA's with no histology training or experience.
It sounds like you are on your way to showing your employers your worth.
Sometimes a change is necessary to get proper compensation for your skills.
I would say play the field and take the best offer back to your employer. I
know... It's the government. :) Good luck.

Douglas:

In this case, I am the sole tech in pathology.  I do everything from
gross dictation to embedding, cutting, and staining.  I am responsible
for morgue operations and autopsies.  I am responsible for all cytology
and histology, including send outs, QA, QC, and all record keeping.  I
am an HT(ASCP), and my place is everywhere.  I am finishing my ASCP
certification for my PA as we speak.  I am taking my PA BOR on Monday,
and I am trying to break out of this mold I am in.  As you say, "We all
know that a PA's place is in the gross room anyway, leaving the
histology matters to us."  Not true with this PA, as my heart lies in
histology.  I am a born and bred HT, but I function as both PA and HT.
I am simply trying to see if I could possibly find a PA job description
and the series #, so I have a chance of squeezing a small raise out of
my employer by showing I have a great amount of responsibility to get
paid less then some support assistants here.

Thanks to you, and anyone else who has tried to help!!

Jason E. Wiese

Hey Rueben let me guess, you are a PA? 
I don't think Jason would be supervising a PA. We all know that a PA's
place
is in the gross room anyway, leaving the histology matters to us. 
I am sure that Jason's pathologist doesn't have time to write it so he
left
it to him.

Re: Pathogists Assistant job descriptions request:

Wouldn't your staff pathologists serve as a great source for their needs
and
requirements in a Pathologist Assistant? Would you serve as the PA
supervisor?
