Steph in Lewisville, Texas 43 months ago	Guys the AMT is the BOTTOM OF THE BARREL! I am a traveling tech and the ASCP or the NCA are the gold standard everywhere. ASCP and NCA are merging so I am not sure how that will effect the AMT. They might merge with them or employers are just going to SOLEY look for MT with ascp or nca since they are merging. Here is some advice if you want to move around in your career, take the ascp or nca, most employers recognize the two agency and when they combine they might only accept that combined agency. - Was this comment helpful?

berserk in Topeka, Kansas 43 months ago	hi chu. are u already in the United States? if so, i might be willing to help you find an employer. One question tho, Is your mind set only in working in nevada? Why wont u apply in other states and take the exam (ascp, nca, amt or whatever ) it will give you a much bigger perspective on your career. - Was this comment helpful?

chu in North Las Vegas, Nevada 43 months ago	hi berserk! yes im in US right now,in las vegas.for now i dont have other choice but to stay and work here in las vegas since my husband is in military and i think well be staying here till 2011. i already took ASCPi(international)but they dont recognize that here in nevada thats why im on the process on preparing my papers to take AMT so that i will be able to get a nevada license. i cant take ASCP coz i dont have 5 yrs working experience yet neither NCA coz that also requires i think 3 or 4 working experience.so i dnt have a choice but to take AMT.by the way are you a filipino?can u really help me find an employer? - Was this comment helpful?

Steph in Lewisville, Texas 43 months ago	Every place I worked havent even heard of the AMT. Every CLS/MT program tells there students to take either the NCA or ASCP. I am telling you once they clamped down with restrictions in working in the clincal lab, those two agencies will be the ONLY way you will be hired. - Was this comment helpful?

chu in North Las Vegas, Nevada 43 months ago	i know..but i dont have a choice.im not eligible to take either ASCP or NCA coz it requires 5 years working experience and and i think 4 yrs respectively to take those two exam. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (2) / No Reply - Report abuse

blue21ph in Chino, California 42 months ago	ASCPi versus ASCP—What’s the Difference? The difference between the two certifications is that the international (ASCPi) exam does not include U.S. governmental policy and procedure questions with which you should be familiar if you are working in the U.S. (i.e. OSHA, CLIA, HIPPA) However, having the ASCPi certification proves you are just as competent as the ASCP certified individual in all other aspects of the medical laboratory.

mt in las vegas in Las Vegas, Nevada 40 months ago	i dont think you need to take another exam in order to get the nevada license. Your ASCPi well do for the receprocity of Nevada License all they want is your clinical experience and your credential evaluation - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse

I am sure that you qualify to take the categorical exams that ASCP offers.That is what I have done.I don't have 5 years of lab experience yet either.I am not waiting 5 years to get my license.I took the ASCP categorical exam in blood banking and passed.Now...preparing to take the categorical exams in chemistry and hematology since I got my six months of experience in those areas. - Was this comment helpful?

I am working here in Florida as medical technologist. try to contact the FL Department of Health and request for application form for MT. Google search their website. As far as i remember, you need to fill out an employment form with in-depth details in each area that you gained experience. Then, your transcipt from your school directly addressed to them. etc.. your AMT validation letter and most importantly, your SSN otherwise you will not be issued if you dont have one. Goodluck. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse

jo3_m in Boston, Massachusetts 24 months ago	America is running out of MT's and CLS's. Because people here don't want to go to school. Medical technology schools around my area even closed because nobody is enrolling. That's how lazy Americans are. Now, know your facts. Labs like the Filipinos because they are hardworking people. . said: America has stopped recruiting from the Philippines, they have plenty of American students, stay in ur country and don't contribute to brain drain.

chu vince cruz in North Las Vegas, Nevada 17 months ago	hi pooh..i took ascpi first , then when i applied for the state license they told me that they dont recognize ascpi so they advice me to take either ascp (which im not qualified yet coz you need at least 5 yrs working experience to be eligible to take ascp) , amt or nca. regarding the amt i think you can just leave that part where they ask the lab experience. just take amt exam then after that apply for the state license good luck - Was this comment helpful?

chu in North Las Vegas, Nevada 17 months ago	hi icy, i worked as lab assistant for 9 months. there was an opening for a medtech position where i work so i applied for that and since im a internal applicant i got the job or should i say i was promoted. it was hard for me since i dont have any work experience here in US but i guess its a case to case basis goodluck - Was this comment helpful?
