Ground every answer in facts on this page and the original listing. We never invent Glassdoor-style reviews or salaries that are not in our data.
Expect scenarios on QC failures, delta checks, instrument downtime, and prioritizing STAT work on nights. Be ready to explain PRN availability for second shift, how you document deviations, and how you communicate with nursing or supervisors after hours.
Strong fit if you are MLS-prepared, comfortable with automation and evening PRN schedules, and steady under high specimen volume with limited daytime backup. Less fit if you need fixed days-only hours or prefer non-automated bench work only.
As a PRN Medical Lab Scientist on second shift in Duke Health’s Central Automated Lab, you would typically support high-volume automated testing: receive and prepare specimens, run and monitor analyzers, perform quality control and instrument checks, troubleshoot flags, verify and release results, and hand off critical values or issues to the on-shift team. PRN second-shift work means covering evenings as scheduled rather than a fixed full-time day roster.
Prioritize automated analyzer operation, specimen integrity, QC/QA documentation, critical-value escalation, and second-shift self-sufficiency. No certification package is supplied in the listing data—confirm ASCP/equivalent and state requirements with Duke Health before applying.
