With my luck my basic partner will get transfers all day and ill still be an ambulance driver. I can say that at least my partner is very willing to teach so I get to work on my assessment skills a lot.

Who's familiar with California's unemployment? If I quit because I am given a schedule that conflicts with school and am unable to change it, will I be able to collect?

I would say you quit so no money for you.
You have to be dismissed for reasons of "no fault of your own."

Went to stand this guy up today and sit him on the stretcher.
He didn't have a brief on. As soon as I went to lift explosive lower GI bleed goodness went all over the floor and my boot.
Almost threw up right there lol

Why so serious? Seems you need to apply your signature.
Like I told someone last night: "Despite everything, I still care. I can't completely turn that off... Life would be so much easier if my 'I don't give a F***' attitude was real. I have given up money for this. I have skipped family events for this (including weddings and funerals). I have spent days on end cold, wet, miserable, tired, hungry, and hurt for this. I have spent 36 hours straight in front of computers and at meeting creating policy and organizing training. I have taken college grade hits for this. I have literally bled and cried for this."
But I did win the battle last night, outnumbered 8 to 1. On the other hand, yes, sometime I need to take my sig seriously. I am today. Instead of the proposal for creation of a County Incident Management Team, I am focused 100% on about 10 hours of online school work and term papers... minus the open Facebook and EMTLife Windows where give me a break...

Your employer has a right to dispute any claim. If they fight a claim and can prove that you 1. Quit or 2. Were fired for just cause then no unemployment for you. I have had to fight these claims several times as a Manager. Oh, and going to school usually means no unemployment anyway; you have to be looking for full time work and the EDD assumes that if you are in school full time you can not take full time work (not a factual statement, but their belief).

ugh!! Good job on not throwing up!
I started out my shift (the other day) with a cirrhosis of liver and Hep C pt (mid 40s btw) who was on suction @ hospital who we transported back to SNF. Well, it took us an hour from getting him on the stretcher to actually leaving the hospital room b/c he kept retching up nasty G-tube-fed stuff and meds. I was very proud of myself for not throwing up even though I definitely almost did!

Hm. I'm not in school full time, just two days a week, but since we're dropping to 24hr shifts only, that drops my availability down to Fri, Sat, Sun. And we can't work consecutive 24s, so that leaves it at either Saturday, or Friday and Sunday, and people with more seniority than me (due to me being PT) are bidding for those shifts.
With the 10 hour shifts I was open Monday, Wednesday, Friday-Sunday. That's more than enough for full time employment. Eh... I'll give it a shot, won't hurt to try.

Drove over 200 miles around El Paso in two days with a buddy who collects rare bourbon. 57 liquor stores and every corner of this town and nothing to show for it but a sore butt. Apparently this is not a bourbon town.

Just finished watching season 1, episodes 13-15 of Lost. Never watched it while the show was on TV, but we have been watching it at the firehouse for the last few shifts. I am completely HOOKED!

I stopped after the second or third season. It was just getting too bizarre to follow.

I can't speak for CA but I know in NV you need to have 24/7 availability. With that said, I may or may not know people who are in school while also collecting unemployment.
The last few seasons and how it was wrapped up was disappointing.

Words of the day today on the radio: "Medic 5, you've been cancelled." Drove code 3 freaking everywhere only to be cancelled multiple times.

A guy I work with is in school and collects. They just deduct the number of hours he works from his unemployment check.
