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

[Fischer, Dolores]

Stella,

Please keep us informed as to the outcome of your discussions with management. I hope it all works out in your favor.  I have also been in the field over 35 yrs. and have never been known as one of the fastest sectioners, but I always focused on quality and thought about the patient behind the specimen. As we all know there are more skills to being a great technician than just the ability to section fast.  I used to love doing special stains when I worked in clinical and my slides reflected that. I think we can all agree that working with a well rounded, conscientious tech who may not be the quickest in the field, but is a great team member, is a much more desired and valuable employee than someone who can section 60 on up blocks/hr. yet is not a very good "team player".  I once went from working in research to taking a position in a small hospital that employed two techs.  Both had left, so I walked into an empty lab ( they got by by having someone come in at night) and had to do everything myself including cyto preps. I'm sure I never managed 60 blks/hr but I got all the surgical done in a reasonable time.  So good luck, and keep your options open, you may still want to look around for a position where the management understands histology.  Seems there are lots of those places from all of the responses.  Now about retiring to New Mexico............or that histo retirement community..........count me in!
