My title is Point of Care Supervisor, which is a salaried position reporting to the Administrative Lab Director. I have one direct report, with the title of Point of Care Coordinator. She is paid an hourly rate.
Together we oversee all of the POC devices, which includes setup, maintenance and support as needed. We train all nurses, techs, and physicians who uses one of the devices or performs a manual POC test. Of course, we also ensure that all QC, proficiencies, correlations and linearities are performed as required.
My title is Point of Care Coordinator and I report to the Laboratory Director. My position is considered a part time flex position (6+2).
My title is Point of Care Coordinator. I work side by side with the pathologist over POCT and report to the Administrative Laboratory Director. I am considered a coordinator and am a separate spot on the organization chart under the laboratory. I could have chosen to be salary but am hourly since there are times when I am involved at work with implementation and training needs me here >40 hrs. More often than not!
My job title is Medical Technologist. Unofficially I am known in the hospital as the POCC. I am also a bench tech and am required to work the bench every third weekend and one or two days in a PP. Unfortunately POC falls under 'other duties as assigned'. I am full time and paid hourly. I have one other person who covers POC when I am off: my day off after a weekend and when I am on vacation. She only does the minimum daily tasks and enough to keep everything running smoothly while I am gone. My position falls under the Core Lab budget but I report directly to the Lab QA/Compliance manager who is actually now our Lab Director. I am not a lead tech, I am at bench tech level. They are working on trying to get my position out of the core lab and the core lab's budget.
I am in charge of all of POC in the hospital as well 24 clinics. I work directly with nursing education, staff, clinic staff, providers (PPM), and one of our Pathologists who oversees POC and Chemistry. Because I am required to also work the bench I am often staying late after my shift to complete the work that I couldn't get to while on the bench.
and yet not full time? Am I crazy to be super stressed?
