Hello All,

I am a recent subscriber and I have greatly enjoyed the information
flying back and forth.. I was curious.. how many of you histotechs out
there gross in path speciemens also? I am a histotech who has gradually
taken over most of the grossing in at our hospital.. we are small and do
only general surgicals (about 4500 surgicals last year). I am finding
that as I take a good look around..I am doing more and more!!! ( we all
are now a days ) So when I am up for my next evaluation.. I'd like to
know who else grosses in.. and what are the salary grades ( ie "ranges"
35,000 to 45,000 for a grade 10 histotechnician, who grosses in. ) I'll
post any feed back I get on the histonet. Thanks!!
