We run a third shift with 2 people and they do all the biopsies and stat specimens. This works great if you can keep the shift staffed. I have had to replace 5 people in 2 years. I am currently looking into getting a rapid processor so I do the biopsies during the day and totally eliminate my night shift. I would also like to add that the 3rd shift is not a very family friendly shift so it truly takes someone with special circumstances to stay with it for very long.
