I have a 24 tomorrow and I'm having trouble sleeping;-(

Diagnosed this year and have been prescribed low dose adderall. I've always had the focus issue and always felt as if my mind was running a million miles a second. I couodnt even shut my mind off when it was time to sleep, which caused sleep issues. Since I've been on adderall I have noticed a...

Finally stopped packing/moving for the day. Tomorrow is going to be Another long one! I cannot wait for it to be over!

You never really know how much stuff you have until you move!! Such a pain!!!

Oh, I was no longer referring to just your student. I was speaking in a general tone regarding this thread. I had read previously when you mentioned it was a dementia patient, I agree on that call. Dementia?? That should've been a 'no-breather'. But in regards to the thread, I don't think a...

Without coffee, my morning would not be right!!!

Really?? I certified with two counties and have yet to receive a state card.

WATCH ME!!!! lol

I agree, first impressions are revealing, however your first impression may not always be true to character. Some people should be failed, but without giving the fair opportunity to have an educational conversation regarding performance, then what is the point of training?? Some EMTs need...

Lol, sorry!!! Anyways changing subjects, how's the weather??? Haha

Would appreciate that actually!! And welcome

I don't have much experience as an EMT but from the experience I have, I know that this is what i want to do. Not everyone is naturally prepared to handle traumatic situations but it doesn't necessarily mean they aren't fit for the job. As firetender has a good point, "someone who, with a...

It's such a beautiful day out. I just got back from a run and i feel great, ill feel even better after i shower!!!

Finally gong home!!!! I had such a great night! New posted pics to.come soon!!!

Thanks.... I think lol

You're right, it is very important to get properly fitted. Everyone is different, I actually used to manage a shoe store and there are so mamy little tricks to measuring someone's foot, arch etc. I was big on selling shoes that actually worked for the customer instead of selling something...

Yea, I would definitely not like Nikes if that happened to me... lol hope you find something that works for you...
