Sadly, I almost never get to do standbys anymore, pretty much the only people around who're willing to pay for a medic are the MMA fights at the casinos...which I don't much like (even though I'm usually the one who has to work them.), It's noisy as hell and I spend the entire time cataloging the injuries any given exchange might have caused.

When is it? I could cope with some time in Reno.

Those of us who went to AMR and didn't stay at least part time during the buyout in ABQ are not their favorite people... but I might try again anyways lol. I could use a PRN job

Monday's 0900-1700 starting in September.
I've got a guest bedroom y'all could share for the two months
Beers are on me :beerchug: They tend to stretch it out so we can attend because it's impossible for us to get the time off to take a full time version of the course. That's the way it was explained to me at least.

Last finals today. Theory and ITLS. Then we go straight into clinicals followed immediately by field.

I'm going to be in Eugene, Oregon for a couple days. Too bad I probably won't have time to get out and about much to visit anyone up here.

Thanks and I'll try not to. If JP is doing his residency at ARMC ER I may end up working with or at least see him during some of my shifts. Don't know if that is good or bad...
How long is your program? I definitely remember you starting after, makes me wonder why mine is taking so long <_< Haha
I spose an associate's program does take longer, but it feels like it's been forever!

It's 6 months in the classroom (3 days a week 0900-1800). Then around 164 hours in different departments in the hospital and then 600-720 hours in the field. We just have to take a few GE classes and we will get an associates also. Then we can transfer to a medical school and get a bachelors degree.
So from start to finish its a year long.
Gotcha. That's the difference. Mine is 2 days a week from 0830 to 1730 for 9 months. It works for me, though, because I'm still working 40 hrs a week this way. Didn't lose my benefits by getting put to PT.
We have 144 hours in clinicals (2x OB, 2x OR, 4x ED, 3x Peds, 1x psych). Field hours are the same.
We are actually partnered with Northern Arizona University for a bachelor's program. We attend the local CC and get credits and our degree through NAU for around $3k/ semester (NAU on campus is $9,100 per semester). Definitely something I've thought about, never decided on it, though. Ha
