Just imagine deconing those things. eww!
I have heard that the z-coils are really good, but like you choke on spending that much on a pair of shoes.

Congratulations on the job!
Good news ahead:
my parents found a house to rent now that my Dad got a job. Totally exciting.
I just registered for my first semester of classes. I don't have to take intro to chem (woohoo) so I get to take EMS 110 right away. I am so excited I could do a jig!

Congrats on your new job, you are gonna love it... especially the way you retain information.
If you can keep this job until you finish nursing school, i guarantee you've got an off the bench position in that icu!

which is funny because i actually spent about 400 on my two pairs of boots. The brighter side is that my boots are freaking awesome AND they look cool... lol
We have some handy (carcinogenic) decontamination wipes, sure the coil would suck to clean, but you can actually buy a cover for that spring, which makes it look like you are wearing weirdly platformed shoes lol.

Sooo...
transporting a patient who's getting 2 units of blood, a pack of platelets, 2L of NS infused, getting calcium gluconate, and of course the NS that is infused in the blood line, and has an active GI bleed who's BP is tanking right in front of you during your 20minutes L/S transport, and you're the only person in the back.
Kinda scary.
PS... because of the 8ish bags of fluids I had to hang in my vanbulance, I now know why that call is typically a CCT call.

So, I think AMR has forgotten me lol or is too busy to issue my schedule. Called and left a message for them to update me. Darn oil causing everything to go FUBAR.
Got a call from AAA Ambulance here in town, after going and talking to the supervisor yesterday. Said she's going to call tomorrow and let me know the time of my lift and drug test this week. That makes two jobs for me (AMR PT and AAA PRN).
Congrats to lucid on the ICU tech job

Except dopamine in hypovolemia with active bleed = no no for me.
Yes, very interesting, and I opted to get off 2 hours later than usual just to run it... but still scary as a brand new medic and it's a call that usually gets CCT.

I've driven on calls like that and enjoyed it every time, I usually learned from them every time.

right right... no sangston blakemore tube in there?
In any case tho, especially with esophageal varices, she is gonna bleed and bleed and bleed and bleed and all you can do is keep replacing the fluids. I've seen pressures as low as 30/15 and survived w/o neuro deficits. I'm not teasing you, just commenting on how interesting that call sounds

I just found out I have to drive to Azusa for my orientation. AZUSA! That's over 120 miles one way.

Good luck with that. At least its orientation. Get a room for the length of it and good to go, if they don't provide dorms. I had to drive 105 miles for my interview with Acadian only to get denied, and orientation would have been 161 miles. One way.

If I get an interview with Acadian, I'll have to fly... or drive for something like 16 hours.

So I just realized that I've been wearing traffic cone orange athletic shorts almost everyday for weeks. I mean, I knew I was doing it, but I just realized that some people may now consider me "the weird girl who always wears orange shorts."

The only part of that perception you MIGHT be able to fix is the "always wears orange shorts" part
