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

[Patrick Laurie]

I have known one or two people who can attain this rate.  However with them,
it is not consistent, especially if there are any interruptions.  I would
take a couple of articles, especially some of Rene Buesa's authoritative
articles to your management and encourage them to set realistic
expectations.  If your manager has any experience in histology, ask them to
show you how to do it, (put them on the spot to try to meet their own
goals).  Good luck.
