Real student review: Megan Mcdonald

I graduated in November 2020 and have been on the COVID-19 testing frontline ever since. Several of my fellow LTT graduates are working with me and some are at other sites all over Sydney.

It’s long hours, hard work and rewarding most of the time. I have had to train others and even recruited my hubby as admin for a few sites.

I am currently working under KE Select but soon our site at Castle Hill will be under new management so will become Australian Clinical Labs.

Kathie and Vaishali were my Trainers and Jen was there too. I learnt so much from LTT and I will never forget how helpful Kathie was. Her explanation of treating all patients as if they were infectious has always been in the back of my mind when donning and doffing. Even though I wished for venepuncture, I have stepped into the COVID-19 swabbing team and am an absolute asset to my company.

I will always be thankful for Kathie and Vaishali. My life has changed so much since achieving my HLT37215 Certificate III in Pathology Collection at LTT Sydney.
