[Histonet] How many tissues an histo tech is suppose to cutper

Another solution...get out of clinical and go into research =)  There are no quotas or slide per second expectations in the research world =)  So sorry you are having such a bad time with your job.  HT's are not a dime a dozen and usually it is fairly easy to find a better job.  Not to mention research pays almost double the clinical world!!
Good Luck!!

Joanne:
Read the attachment so you can have an idea about productivity ranges and averages in different tasks in the lab.
If you embedded 214 blocks and cut 148  in 5.5 hours, using the averages I provided, embedding should have taken 3.5 hours and cutting 6.2 hours which means you worked 1.76 times FASTER than the expected average.

i am quite serious in my presentation and request for advice.  i too thought this goal was/is ridiculous to expect/ask for from someone so new and to attain in 6 months or less.  last monday i embedded 214 blocks and cut 148 between 5am and 10:30am (we had almost 600 cassettes to share among 3 people) . . . .for someone so very new i thought this pretty good . . . please note: most days aren't as hectic.  :)  what is an average though for blocks/minute?  what is meant by set sum per block? <---keeping in mind i am new to this field.
