The name "Oklahoma" comes from two Choctaw Indian words: "okla" meaning people, and "humma" meaning red, so the state's name literally means "red people." The Land Rush of 1889 permitted settlers to claim the Unassigned Lands in present-day Oklahoma. Some settlers tried to beat the system by entering the area before the official start at noon on April 22, 1889. These settlers were called the Sooners, and that's where Oklahoma got its nickname. Cimarron County is the only county in the U.S. that touches four states: Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Kansas.Hospitals and doctors’ offices wouldn’t be the same without medical lab technicians. MLTs are a critical component of a functioning healthcare facility. They work under the supervision of physicians, lab managers or lab technologists to conduct lab tests on specimens. The work they do behind-the-scenes helps doctors detect diseases or illnesses and determine treatment options. MLTs perform chemical analyses of body fluids (such as blood or urine) using a microscope or automatic analyzer. These tools help MLTs detect abnormalities or diseases, using a computer to enter their findings throughout the process. These chemical analyses are considered to be a core job duty, but MLTs also use mechanical and electrical devices to ensure their test results conform to specifications.
