So......ummmmmmmmmm.........Brown? Why does it say "EXPRESS NEWSPAPERS" on that HEMS bird?:unsure:
 
EDIT: general rant not directed st anyone on here. Onward.
Really? You want to decide to give me crap because I'm going to a real school for my Paramedic, and not a program that lets anyone slide by and test for the patch? And that I want more education than is the minimum, so I must be a suck up overachiever? Well :censored::censored::censored::censored: you very much.

I can't wait to find a service that has progressive protocols and the people to go with it, rather than skills monkeys.

I love noncompliant patients. either they refuse and I don't care- go on about my day, or they can't refuse and get tied up.

I need to get my medic first :( And I start that in January. Is there some place around you where I can finish an AAS in EMS once I get my p-card?

Meh, it was a respiratory patient that just felt like making my job a lot harder then it had to be, and made what should have been a 5-10min scene time into a nearly 30minute time. Compound that by my FTO grading me AND it being 3am after running all day, and I was not in the mood to play around.

She "wanted" help but whenever I tried to get her to do something (such as move to my cot) she'd start complaining that she couldn't breath if I attempted to replace her NC (that was at 2lpm) with mine that had EtCO2 capabilities, or even just tried to put it on my cots O2 so we could get moving. She'd breath relatively fine if left on her 22% NC, but freak out if put on RA for a couple of seconds.

If 1% difference in oxygen makes that much of a difference, lady, then you REALLY need to let me do my job before you buy a trip down RSI lane.



jt-- I've been looking at colleges that do life-credit for P-cards online to finish my degree.

If you're looking for online. I know Eastern NM University in Roswell offers an online P--> AAS degree :) Check them out. Their program for any EMS courses are excellent

I had emailed Lenoir college, as I got a flyer from them at EMS Expo. The admissions lady said she'd forward my email to the director of the EMS division, but that was on Wednesday.

Dear EMS Gods, I pray to you tonight that I get all black clouds for the start of this 12 hour night shift. Pay no attention to my partner who will be wanting your head and mine up on a silver platter if you deliver my wishes, I'm senior on the truck tonight and as such I get what I want :) In the name of trauma, we pray, Amen.
 
I honestly don't know why I keep putting in for nights. I'm getting sick of them! I need like a month of no nights, all days, then I'll be good to go for another three years of nights. :-S It is like being addicted to something bad. I don't like it, but I can't stop. Lol
 
Been on nights for 8 years and would never switch to days!

I like my days to myself!

I'm the opposite, if I could get three solid months of no day shifts, that would get me back ready to work maybe a day shift or two. I love working nights :)

EDIT: So, when I said my prayer to the EMS Gods last night, I failed to take into account that it was a full moon... I definately got what I wished for. Only in the station for about two hours total last night
