Greetings Gang 🤩 August is almost here, and I wanted to check in with everyone. I know a lot of us are graduating, finishing clinicals, starting new jobs, or really locking in for the ASCP or AMT exam. This is such an exciting (and sometimes stressful) time, and I just wanted to see where everyone is at. 🫶🏽 How are you feeling about your studying (or life right now)? 🔬 What subject are you spending the most time on right now? 🎓 Have you graduated yet, or are you still in school? 🫣 If you're testing soon, when's your exam? Also... 👀 ASCP August is almost here! I've been planning something really fun to celebrate all of the hard work you all have been putting in. Throughout August, I'll be doing giveaways to help students on their journey to becoming MLSs and MLTs. I'll be sharing all of the prizes and entry details very soon! One important thing: The giveaways are exclusive to members of the Microscope Views Inner Circle. That's where I'll be posting all of the details, announcing winners, hosting our live study sessions, and sharing everything for ASCP August. If you've been thinking about joining the Inner Circle, now is the perfect time so you don't miss out. Join HERE 🚨 Comment with your updates below (if you feel comfortable). I love seeing everyone's progress, and it's encouraging for everyone to see that we're all working toward the same goal. Let's cheer each other on as we head into August! 🥳 xoxo, Marilyn

👋🏾 Hello, my little Gang of Nasties! I’m really glad you’re here. This space was made specifically for students and future lab professionals who are trying to study smarter, stay motivated, and finally pass the ASCP exam without losing their minds. Whether you’re still in school, prepping for boards, or coming back after a break—this is your space. 👇 Introduce yourself to our FREE Community: 1. What’s your name? 2. Where are you in your lab journey (Student? Graduated already?) 3. Which department is your biggest struggle? 4. Which department is your favorite? I’ll go first… My name is Marilyn, aka @marilynthescientist 👩🏾‍🔬 I’m a Clinical/Medical Laboratory Scientist with 10 years of experience in the field. 💉 I’ve worked everywhere—from tiny Critical Access Hospitals to busy Level 1 Trauma Centers. 🧳 6 of those years were spent traveling across the U.S. 🩸 Currently, I’m holding it down as a Blood Bank Supervisor in California. This space is here for us to learn, laugh, rant, and master the lab world together. No dumb questions, EVER! 📲 Follow me on socials if you want extra lab tips, rants, and ratchet breakdowns: Instagram | TikTok 🧬 If you ever have questions—even the “silly” ones—DM me or post them in the group. 😤💅🏾
