    Planning on going to EKG/Phlebotomy school.

    Depends on what your goal is. If you plan on being a medic, do not pass go do do not collect $200, go directly to medic school. If you want to do something else, it might make sense to get you phleb/EKG cert.

    Taking pulse rate and respiratory rate for 5 seconds?

    Agree with those above. Additionally, when you are practicing on yourself, I assume you are a young, healthy individual with no history of arhythmia. As such, your HR is not only regular, but probably even predictable, and it doesn't vary as much as a sick, old, dying, traumatic, shock patient.

    Woken up at 0500 for a guy that couldn't poop

    One time we went to some guys house at 330am because he ran out of antibiotics. Another time it took us about 35 minutes to get into the apartment of a caller for unknown medical aid, turns out she had a bad dream, called 911, then went back to bed.

    Memorizing Medical Terminology - What did I get myself into...

    It's all about the Latin roots. Even if you've never heard the word before you can figure out what it is if you know the roots. Start using the terms to describe things in everyday life. Maybe not in actual conversations but at least in your head.
