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

[Susan.Walzer <@t> HCAHealthcare.com]

Would you ask a surgeon to speed up his procedure? We are also using sharp blades and cutting off the tip of a finger is a real outcome to speed cutting. What we do effects patient outcome and quality must always come first. Speed come gradually after. When you treat patient tissue on a assembly line you diminish the importance of what we do. The pathologist cannot diagnose disease without quality slides.

Unless you are in some remote area that there aren't any other
facilities around, I would look for a new job!  I don't think your age
should have any bearing on finding one.  If you were close to me I'd
hire you.  Working under that kind of condition is unacceptable in my
opinion.  It promotes errors and that isn't what we are all about.
Those blocks are our patients.

i've only been working 2 months.  although older, i am new as a
histotech (graduated in may 2010, found a job in april 2011).  seems
management is setting a goal of a block per minute as far as cutting
goes for me.  i have until october to attain this goal. this minute for
cutting is to include facing, writing out slides, cutting, and putting
tray into symphony stainer (not to mention getting up to answer the
phone, fielding questions regarding send-out cases, and other slight
"cutting interruptions).   this seems an extreme, possibly unattainable
goal.  i'm up for a challenge  at age 53, but any advice would be
SWONDERFUL!!!! :)
