Good Morning fellow Histonetters!!

I am hoping someone can answer this question for me.  Is a General Lab Tech (working as an assistant) permitted to prepare FNA slides at the bedside, as well as

stain them using the Wright Stain before the slides being to the Pathologist for interpretation?

 My thinking on it is that I believe that they should be able to because after all they make CBC slides and stain those.

 We are having a debate in our department and I would like to know what the correct answer is before I would implement any training for the General tech.

Thanks ever so much!!
