Hey netters, I have an intersnhip position available for a coolege
student or recent college grad at Medimmune in Gaithersburg Md.  It is
hard to find decent internship programs out there, so here is a chance
for a deserving youngster. I do all the hands on for routine paraffin
histology through some specials and I match it with reading chapters in
different books on whatever subject they are learning.  The old Dual
trianing like the military does, read about microtomy while you are
learing to do it in the lab.  I will tell you that I am reading some of
this stuff.  I have found some of these kids who want training and job
experience are not taking it seriously at all.  It is like they have a
sense of entitlement, like they are doing us a favor by accepting the
internship.  I had a kid a while back tell me he could not make it in
for his first night at work because he and his friends had been playing
the same video game for 7 yrs and they did not want to break the streak!
Yet another at another job while I was interviewing on the phone was
laughing and joking with her friends while I was trying to do a phone
interview!
I wonder if someone has  ASCP certifications like me and I train someone
and have them do a program in the lab that allows them to learn
histology and do the didactic portion does that count for anything even
if the program is informal?  Lets face it some interns end up learning
in the lab and reading a few books and get the theory down along with
the hands on so well that we would hire them if we could but we can't
for budgetary reasons.  I mean if a decent certified tech puts his or
her stamp of approval on a tech, seems like employers would recognize
that.
