    You might work for a private if.....

    That's better then having your truck break down 3.5 hours into BFE Iowa. We managed to limp the truck to the receiving hospital, then to a grocery story parking lot where we waited 3 hours for a tow truck. After the guy who smells like dip and whiskey loads the rig up, all 3 of us climbed into...

    Correct setup for bagging in a treatment

    You may be able to make the first one work if you have 2 people bagging. The piping should be flexible enough for you to hold the neb upright.

    Documents to bring to interview?

    Everything everyone has mentioned. I use to make atleast 5 packets that included all my certs, resume, copies of cards, and any other useful documents. This way if there are multiple interviewers they can each have a packet to view while I'm being interviewed.

    How did it go today?

    Visited my grandparents who were just moved into assisted living. They're having a bit of trouble adjusting, but they know it's for the best. Now I've got a 3 hour drive home before my 36hr shift starts. Ugh.

    Do you eat well?

    I eat a lot of fruit. Pineapples, mangos, melons, bananas, and apples mostly. They are very cheap and pretty filling. My co-workers give me :censored::censored::censored::censored: because my favorite meal is a whole pineapple and maybe a peach or two. I try to add in veggies when I can. Maybe...

    Frequent Fliers - an observation

    We have a couple very rude patients just like every other service. My response? Kill em with kindness. Nothing pisses off a very angry/rude person then when you are overly nice to them. They want a reaction, I'm not giving it to them. Yeah it's annoying when you're transporting them for the 15th...

    Do you wear sunglasses at work?

    Yes I always have them on me at work. I hate driving without them. I'll take them off when I go inside, or when talking to a patient outdoors. Otherwise I'm usually wearing them.

    EMS Pens

    Pilot Easy Touch medium in black. I bought a huge supply of them from Sams Club. I don't mind throwing em away If they're gross or using them as bargaining chips. I'm generally fine with any pen as long as its a clicker top.
