Medic Students!!!

[Sizz]

It was hyped up quite a bit by our instructers as long as you know your meds, rhythms and as well as the proper path to follow it was pretty clear cut. Eitherway it was an overall great experanice but really hyped up.

Oh gotcha, well I guess I shouldn't be too worried about it then. Our instructors have been making it seem like it's some super difficult class. It shouldn't be too bad, I mean we're been going over it for threw past month lol

 

[fast65]

Yay! ACLS is now complete

Just getting started

I start classes in January. I'm so excited to finally be able to start school but the time is so hard to pass. I want to prepare myself so I'm not thrown to the sharks. I was last in school back in 2004 and is the mommy of two. What can I do with my time now to make it a little easier in January?

^ What Jt said. With the full time job and being a full time student along with the 2 hour each way jog to classes it puts a little damper on everything. I pretty much home to sleep and that's about it.

Agreed, even working part time I find it difficult to have much of a social life at all...unless you count discussing ACLS at Subway during our lunch break as a social life

Just took my written and practicals last week and passed both first time. Do yourselves a favor and get the hard work out of the way now. Totally worth it

Linuss,

You don't have to rub it in I'm just looking forward to a break so I can spend more time with my family through the holidays. They tell me I'm a bit obsessive compulsive due to the fact that anything less than a perfect 4.0 gpa would be the end of the world to me; and as such I spend "too much time studying" at least according to my kiddos. Give it a week or so and Ill be waiting and ready to go back to classes. I'm looking forward to starting clinicals in June, but I won't be able to test registry until spring 2012.

You and me both

As of Monday I'll be done with medic class until January as well, but I'll be taking up my winter break with OR shifts

A few more weeks of class then a break in January although all the time off will be substituted for clinical time so no break ick...it's like the pre-burn out test before becoming a medic :wacko:

Ugh, I am having the worst time getting successful IV's in my clinicals. I only had 1 successful stick yesterday out of 5; out of the 4 unsuccessful sticks, one of them I blew the vein, two I missed, and the other I hit a valve. How upsetting

I started off bad with my IV's druing clinicals too. Ask the nurses for advice and go and watch them start some and watch their technique. Try not to get frustrated!!!

2 weeks left in the semester along with ACLS and PHTLS completed. Honestly I can say I had more fun with ACLS vs the Trauma. Short vacation and then onto the last semester of the National Paramedic course.

 

[fast65]

Well, this has been a busy weekend of clinicals...and I got my first intubation outside of the OR
