Not any animosity at my lab either. Just things like they don't understand why we can't take hemolyzed specimens. Or clotted specimens. The length of time it takes to run tests. I guess I'm more interested in answering any lab related questions or taking suggestions from you guys on an informal basis.
Hi. I'm a medical lab scientist and wanted to connect with nursing staff. It seems there is a lot of miscommunication between the two departments. I'm hoping to learn from you guys what lab can do to improve relationships. Most of the nurses I work with are awesome and they have my deepest respect. I could never do what you guys do. That being said I sometimes feel that nurses need more understanding of exactly why we do the things we do on lab. Hoping to get some positive feedback on how we can both help each other.
