I just finished Medic school and just passed registry (on my first time I might add..yay me!) My advice is to work, and work hard. If your program is anything like mine, you will have no social life and may lose some "friends" because you aren't around as much as you were. Don't let anything...

Yesterday - 82 Passed!!!!

Our class is on A shift from 0900 to 1700, in addition to our clinical rotations on top of that. The class is 3 semesters on the A shift schedule.

Dude or Dudette. I see you are an RN. I suppose you spent at least 2 years as an ER Tech in a busy metropolitan ER before you even thought of nursing school. I was a Geologist for 7 years. Should I have quit high school and worked at a quarry for at least 2 years before I even THOUGHT of...

I got a virtually unused Littman Cardiology II off of Craigslist from a retired nurse for $25 and love it.

It has been a long time since I last posted, but have been lurking about. I completed my EMT-B in May and began working for a private company in August after completing rookie school. I started out on a BLS truck and moved to an ALS unit after a month or so. This career change was the best...

My first code was on a rotation a few weeks ago. 2 yr old girl hit by car. I ended up bagging her and started suction. We got to hospital and they did 5 or 6 rounds of epi/atropine/bicarb. She was worked her for about 1.5 hours total. She didn't make it. It turned out she had broken her neck...

Cheers! Piping has become a HUGE part of my life in the short time I have done it. I play in 2 bands and am looking to join a 3rd, as well as solo comps, EMT class, etc, etc... Super, super, busy, but loving it!

I have several tattoos (not visible unless in shorts or shirtless) and my ears are pierced normally. Although my boss, or anyone in my office, does not care at about me wearing them, I choose not to because I want to represent the company in the best way possible. I will not be wearing them in...

I would suggest really voicing your feelings to your husband. Let him know that although money may get tight, you will be a much happier and fulfilled person. And as I see it, how could that be a bad thing for the both of you? You need to do what is right for you, if not you might end up...

I like tacos.

Piping. Running. Piping. errrrr Piping. /did I mention Piping. If not, Piping. //When I'm not Piping, I'm thinking about Piping :)

Soon to Start EMT-B Class I am to start EMT-B class on January 11th and couldn't be more excited. I have already ordered the book and have been reading and studying in order to get a bit of a head start. We had orientation last night, and I have to admit I was a bit dismayed by the attitude...
