[Histonet] RE: PA hours

[Douglas Porter]

PA's will work when the specimens are in the lab.  As previously mentioned,
if it's a hospital only lab, then a conventional day shift would work.
After all, what surgeon wants to work past 4p?  LOL!!  However, if the lab
services a hospital, surgery centers, doctor offices, etc., the PA or PA's
will work when those specimens are available which usually means during the
day, in the late afternoon and early evening.  Mine is the later example.
The specimens don't start arriving until 130p and keep coming until 630p.  I
have couriers dropping off specimens throughout the afternoon.  I do
supervisory work, coordinate the IT infrastructure, submit all of our
primary malignant cases to our State Cancer Registry and in my spare time
gross all of the specimens.  I work from Noon to 830p or later.  So,
Carol...it all depends on the workload and when the work is received.  Hope
this helps!!

We are a small lab, avg. 200/blocks/day.  Our PA comes in at 0800, cleans up
the gross room, cryostat, etc and usually starts with the placenta's from
the previous night's deliveries.  Also, she does all the frozen, and since
our OR's start at 0730, we often have frozen by 0800 or soon after.  I think
it just all depends on the extra duties and when your Ors run.

What hours are the PAs are grossing at your locations?  The way our
specimens arrive into the laboratory, we have someone from 12:30 -9:00 PM.
Are any of your PAs working second or third shift hours?
Thanks for any input.
Regards,
Carol
