Had to add my two cents! I recently had to leave a large university hospital because of the lack of work ethic. I worked day shift so all of us were dedicated blood bankers. I've only been in the field for 5 years and loved the challenge I found in the BB, but I couldn't put up with the negligence anymore. Issues that were reported to management and HR multiple times were completely ignored and a coworker who spent most of every day on personal phone calls was promoted. I've seen this same person blatantly decide they don't want to perform an antibody ID (and discuss it with the manager) so they skip it. Even though it met all of the rules to running a new ID. So frustrating. Anyways, I left the lab and am pretty sad about it. I just couldn't sit around watching the quality go down the drain anymore. I didn't feel comfortable working in a place that I wouldn't want my own lab work performed. Good Luck to all of you! I hope you don't get as discouraged as I did.
