If it is that bad we as in me and my partner will switch or vise versa. When I was on a 24 ift/911 car it was mostly one sleep on the way there and other sleep on the way back. An actual emergent call also wakes you up pretty quickly...

Motorcycle vs auto. Guy on motorcycle decided to try and beat a yellow in the bike lane. Well Light and auto won this battle, Pt smashed into the front driver side fender and ends up in the middle of the intersection. Obvious tib/fib deformity and left wrist deformity. Splint everything and get...

Well got off a 48 and got a total of 7 hours of sleep between the 2 nights. Got off and went straight to the part time job. I signed up for this and do not regret it but being that I work for a smaller 911 company in SoCal we do not have the resources to give guys solid sleep. Just part of the...

Pocket prep app on my phone helped me a ton, really focused in on what I was struggling in. Although you have to pay it is is worth it. As for the temper, find ways to handle it better. Getting the 3 AM ETOH call is no fun especially when they are loud. Contact class mates who passed ask them...

Title Insurance, trying to save for medic school and struggling with sitting behind a desk.:( Have not been on here in a minute, more like a year.

Hell, I could make a weekend out of it! Being fresh out of 21 that is a win win. Also helps that it is only ~4 hour drive.

Holy moly after that test I walked out feeling like I couldn't drive my brain was fried. I even sometimes forget and others do too, but this is "basic" emt stuff. Congrats though! I remember thinking no way at some points and I for sure passed it at others. Just glad I got it out of the way.

You mean an EMT can actually do the skills he/she is taught. No, it couldn't be! :rolleyes: I really just want to get my hours and get into medic school. Fire/LEO is the end goal, I have a passion for both. Maybe FF just a taddddddddd more :). I am not so much excited to go out and save lives...

Maybe it is worthy of a new thread @VentMonkey. Your post kind of hit a good spot in me! I mean a good spot. I think every person who starts in EMS (including myself, guilty) glorifies it as a career of happiness and rainbows at first. I think I have a better understanding then most "rookies"...

Are those coffee grinds things good? I would definitely give it a try for some caffeine instead of a red bull or monster. I have dipped and throw an OCCASIONAL lip here and there but no addiction. Cigarettes were a faze then it got gross. Really intrigued by these grind things....o_O

That was the point lol :D

Annnddddd here's where I start to think that Nys put the flowers on the nightstand..........

Then I am pretty sure all you have to do is apply for license and pay your fees. I would start looking on google just to be sure.

Well if you kept your NR up to date I am pretty sure all you have to do is apply for a license in the that state. I will most likely renew my state license and NR when the time comes just for this reason. I am young and may move. As far as companies go I have 0 say.

Just OC & LA Co problems :)

@CodeBru1984 Are you from NorCal? I am guessing they are more lax in less populated areas, but OC. Good luck, I would like to apply for one but I don't think there's even a remote chance.

You must not be from CA then. CCWs are VERY, VERY few and far between unless you are LEO (obviously). The only reason my dad got his is because the only thing stopping a 6 inch blade meeting his abdomen was a duty belt (Class A Fire uniform). So self protection got a pass on his app, but even...

lol a ccw in CA? yah everyone should be surprised.

@Fido198674 No it was more brought up about a 7 year old taking down her first deer. Most people got their keyboards out and turned into the third reich about it. The girl showed no lack of safety and showed confidence in safe gun handling. It really was not a big deal, should have been more of...
