Started at a new place, tons of overtime opportunities. I just finished a 144 hour stretch, I'm in the middle of 72 off then I'm back on Saturday for another 120 hours. My next paycheck is going to be fantastic.

It was an experience. The only one who had a clue was an OR nurse who worked at an offsite surgery center doing plastics. The others, a new ICU nurse, a couple of PACU nurses, a couple of new grad nurses and a Med Surg nurse were all clueless... By the time that class was over, I had em running megacodes like paramedics. Doing awesome, kick *** CPR, having meds ready to go, working as a team, precharging the monitor before the rhythm check, minimizing hands off the chest time. I mean, these nurses were ON it.

Sadly, they'll forget it all in a few days. But today, I'm taking home a small feeling of accomplishment. If just ONE of them does effective CPR, then it was worth it.
 
Defiantly need to work more shifts with the medic I had yesterday :ph34r:
 
A couple weeks ago I interviewed at a local Class 1 FD. They're only looking for ~16 New FF-EMTs. I got the email today saying I passed my oral interview board with an 83% and was ranked 102 on the eligibility list. Unfortunately they're only taking the top 50 to the next step (physical ability test and then backgrounds).

So I guess a bunch of people have go flunk either PAT or background :-/

OTOH I do have an interview for Ambulance Operator at the same department next week.
 
just had my anual physical...looks like the old ticker is still working :D

Why do you assume they'll forget it all in a few days?
 
What do you do when?

What do you do when your off your shift having leisure time away from the fun bus with a bunch of flashing lights and loud sirens?

Have a life. Enjoy life. Forget about work.

Sorry I'm not a fanatic.

Relax. It's soon to be dirt bike season so that is what I'm going to be spending some time on.

As for the first of the year I'm either going to be at work or sitting in a class room for medic school (1 entrance test left).
