Hi Dawn,

At our hospital we have 2 FTE, myself and another
histo tech, that process about 5,000 cases per year. 
When one of us is off for vacations, day off etc., we
have the cyto prep person trained to accession, stain,
coverslip, answer the phone, etc., so we can do the
embedding, cutting and routine special stains.  As for
immunos, we send them out because it is not cost
effective to do them in house.  Hope this info is of
some help.
