The original poster’s lab uses specially-trained lab assistants, but due to high staff turnaround, they can’t keep up with training new staff and their Quantity Not Sufficient rates are too high. They are therefore thinking of switching to using nurses or respiratory therapists and want to know what is standard at other institutes. 9 respondents also use lab staff, 6 use phlebotomists, 4 use nurses, and 2 use respiratory therapists. Most respondents also use a small group of collectors, since this makes it easier to maintain their competency.
