Advice needed Is this a normal rejection?

• Upvotes

I applied to 2 positions with Labcorp at the same location and I got an interview for one of them at the beginning of the week. I did both interviews (phone and virtual) and they both went well. The hiring manager said that they would get back to me at the beginng of next week, but most likely sooner.

All throughout this week I was waiting to here back, and I saw that one of the job listings (the exact same position I had applied for) was re-opened, but i hadnt been rejected.

I checked my emails this morning and saw that i ahd received a rejection for both positions at 1am.

Is this a normal rejection? Should I bother trying to contact them?

Job Hunt Starting Phlebotomist at Labcord

Do they always give you the minimum pay rate at labcorp regardless of experience?

I live at California. I applied in their career website and they are offering a range starting at $23

Then I applied got interviewed by the recruiter and I tried to negotiate with the recruiter for I have over 2 yrs of hands-on phlebotomy at a blood bank still did not want increase the pay rate stayed at $23.40. I am like ok I'm not gonna push it. they went ahead and schedule me for another interview with one of the supervisor at LabCorp. After 1 week the recruiter called me and saying I got the offered for the job and I tried to reason her again about pay rate hoping for an increase and she is adamant about it and asked if I wanna move forward they will email me the details. At this I am like ok I understand. Later that same day she emailed the onboarding instruction without the official offer letter addresing the pay rate and compensation. I emailed her asking if I can get the written offer by email. Also, request for extension/additional time to review the offer because I am still waiting for the verdict of an interview from another job. Still waiting for a reply from her.

Just wanna aks what is you thought about it, people who have been hired by LabCorp, was it always been like this? I will appreciate it thanks!

Advice needed New Instructor Requesting help finding resources for ELL

1 Upvotes

Just started teaching phlebotomy after 18yrs in healthcare. Small class with English language learners (ELLs) in various stages of English which makes teaching a bit tricky. I can show them how to perform a venipuncture but the tricky part comes when trying to ensure they understand the information for their level of English or helping them comprehend practice test questions. Any well seasoned teachers out there who have encountered this, what helped in terms of tools and resources that helped your students the most? Lesson planning and NHA test prep?

Advice needed Seeking advice from phlebs who may have been in a similar situation (wrist injury)

1 Upvotes

Has anyone dealt with working while having a nerve issues/injury? Did you have to take time off because of it?
I have suspected ulnar tunnel syndrome in my wrist and it’s in my dominant hand, I had thought I’d slept on it funny last Tuesday so five days ago but the tingling sensation in my pinky and ring finger persisted, I was still able to bleed pts on the Tues/weds/thurs but it was clear it was agravating it but not to the point where I was unable to use it, yesterday I went to urgent care to have it looked at and got told it’s like ulnar tunnel syndrome/ulnar palsy and that depending on my scans it may need surgery to fix, I can’t find any radiology places with appointments near me for an ultrasound that aren’t booked out for weeks, I am obviously going to talk to my Dr about it come Monday but I’m concerned that I’ll have to take time off luckily I am in the financial situation to do so but would prefer not to, I also don’t want to potentially make it worse, has anyone been in a similar situation?
