Well... at least once you know your repeat customers... I'm sure we had at least two last night. I'm pretty pleased that EMS and ED pulled a patient back from the brink with great work in a code. Hopefully the patient has a good outcome. Great teamwork by all. Now I'm just tired and ready for some zzzz's. Only a few more shifts left to go in this stint. Hope the paycheck has a nice bounce to it... even after all the taxes are drained from it...

Never thought that I would get to the point where I feel like going for a run and it sounds like a good idea.

True. He would be a fun one to let a medic student run, super simple other than how stubborn he is that he isn't seizing ever couple minutes and can walk 30+ blocks home. Gotta love OT. Work an extra $500 in time and feels like you only get $200 more on your check.

Debating joining Costco vs Sam's Club.

Tgeres 4 Costcos on the island vs. 2 Sam's Clubs (both Sam's near-ish to a Costco). All 4 Costcos have gas lames, only 1 Sam's does...but the one that dies is the one that's closer to me than any of the Costcos and quite frankly that's like THE main thing I wanna use my membership for at either place lol.

Plus Sam's membership is $45 vs $60 for Costco

My family all have Costco memberships and that's why I was first thinking about them...but now I'm leaning towards joining Sam's Club lol

Dew u no how 2 spel?? Or yuse prouper grammer?

All joking aside which place has the cheaper gas? That would be the selling point for me. Is Sam's Club a year membership like Costco? I personally shop at Costco, it's closer than Sam's Club and while I don't shop entirely at Costco they do have good prices... I mean where else can you buy a years worth of *** wipe for like $60... plus Kirkland brand vodka is cheap and is just rebranded Gray Goose.

Unless you’re dropping $100 on gas every 3-4 days, the penny pinching isn’t worth it. Both Sam’s and Costco have their own unique things, but the biggest selling point for Costco is their cashback rewards. I keep my revolving credit on the Costco’s Visa and it easily rakes up close to $200 ea year. That being said, why not have both memberships ? I do, it’s good to have options.

Going on 4 months in the ER and very much enjoying it. Still doing the rig as well, but compared to the hospital, it feels miserable. I love the teamwork-oriented mindset of the ER folks and, for the most part, people are sharp and knowledgeable. Not to mention the networking and a potential for nursing school tuition reimbursement.

I forgot how happy nurses get when your stroke alert has bilateral 18's. Earning those brownie points.

A patient of mine ended up with bilateral 18's. For HIPAA's sake, let's just say that I hope he's getting excellent care now at a facility that can handle his particular problem and know that he was an excellent learning case, for the short time that I had him. If I do get to meet up with him again in the future, I hope to get his OK to share his case. I'm sure it'll be a nail-biter.
