My first non-micro post, but I found a perfect heart shaped nucleus of a mono in my rotation last week!

[Medical Lab Lady Gill @MedicalLabLadyG]

@Westermani_Wes Thank you so much! What praise 💜 Glad to have you in the "Lab Family"

[Wesley Herrera MLS(ASCP) @Westermani_Wes]

@MedicalLabLadyG Thank you! I couldn’t have done without the help of your videos!

What could those 7 letters next to my name mean? I passed my certification exam!!!

[Wesley Herrera MLS(ASCP) @Westermani_Wes]

Huge thanks once again to the ASCP for selecting me to receive the Lab Student award! Also, a huge thanks to @warbler_works for giving me some lab stickers ask well! I’ll be sure to work on some questions before my certification exam tomorrow!

[Wesley Herrera MLS(ASCP) @Westermani_Wes]

And just like that, my time in the CLS program at TXST is up! I couldn’t have done it with all these amazing people and I contribute my success to them.

Next stop: taking my ASCP exam next Wednesday and starting my career in Houston!

It’s been a hectic couple of weeks from finishing up school, moving out, interviews, etc. But I’m very excited to have been chosen to receive these awards especially the ASCP Laboratory Science Student Award which is a very prestigious award with only 10 students getting it!

Wesley Herrera, a senior from McAllen, is set to graduate in August. Afterwards, he plans to work as a generalist in a hospital laboratory. “For me, the most important thing about working in CLS is knowing that I play an important role when it comes to the care of the patient."
