The most common meds I give on a pump are mag and amio...neither take long to set up. I have never really felt like I was missing out with syringe pumps. Haven't messed with one in almost two years though.

Having fun in IA MED's FP-C review course. Learning a lot, and learning what I need to learn a lot more.

I really enjoyed their course when I took it last year. I would highly recommend it. Who is your instructor?

Had Jared. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it. Things I did note. If you don't have any critical care knowledge the class won't really teach you much. You will still learn a lot but not really how to use it. It definitely is a test prep course but I do feel it does give someone enough information to start learning some aspects of critical care, but more education is needed.

So I'm now off to find a good textbook on vents.

Get drunk off two drinks and get altitude sickness

Take the train downtown. There are some cool breweries and restaurants. Skip Coyete Ugly.

Spend a bunch of money at the Arc'teryx outlet

Recommendations for a decently priced handheld VHF radio? Looking for something to communicate with the helicopter for landing during PRs and stuff when Fire isn't there. Most of the handhelds the fire departments use are almost worthless.

Just analog VHF? You really can’t go wrong with a TYT or Baofeng. Cheap, easy to program and if you break it or lose it, no big deal. I have several.

Been having a really interesting conversation on LinkedIn about mentoring in EMS. Anyone have any thoughts? A formal mentoring program for EMS seems pretty foreign.

This sounds thread-worthy to me.

I've always loved Yaesu radios when I did ham.

You're gonna love it. I fell in love with that town. I'd still be there if my roommate hadn't bailed on me 4 months in. She met some boy in Shreveport Louisiana online and pulled up stakes and moved. Check out voodoo donuts. I lived a 3 minute walk from there. Also Cheeseman park is pretty cool. It used to be a cemetary. They started removing the bodies but it became a huge scandal so they ended up leaving most of the bodies there and just pulling the headstones. Plays merry hell with the police department every time some dog digs up some old bones and they open a murder investigation.

Mentoring sounds awesome, I know there’s mentoring programs in cyber security(I developed one where I work now) if you want a framework or a couple starting points I’d either 1, chime in on the thread or 2 pm to you

I have a Kenwood hand held radio that has CalCORD (I'm in California) in memory and this radio has been modified. I'm a HAM and I primarily use this for HAM radio. There are potential situations where I could use that radio to contact a landing helicopter but those are emergent ones and in those situations, type acceptance of a radio isn't much of an issue. My handheld is also probably 2-3x the cost of a Baofeng and that radio wouldn't likely need to be modified to transmit on a VHF public safety frequency.

I am looking into other jobs but don't necessarily need my current employer knowing that. Yet this place wants references from current managers... hmm.
