Down Time on the Job

Read, sleep, eat.
 
Studying should take priority, both for bettering yourself, and improving your proficiency. Pick a protocol or two each shift and review them with your partner. Practice the sling & swathe, traction splinting, take out infrequently used equipment and practice with it. I've heard no mention of PT. Working in EMS can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle, having to grab whatever food's available on the go, sitting on a street corner for hours on end, frequently interrupted sleep, repeated exposure to various stressors without a healthy outlet, to name a few. It's not uncommon for a new tech to gain the "freshman forty". UFC '09 is addicting, though. Each of us are going to create characters of our likenesses, train them, and have competitions.

Sleep, eat, watch hockey, play hockey in the parking lot with the neighborhood kids and my partner, go fishing out back, watch TV, wash my car, and "people" watch

I can't study while at work. Just can't/don't want to

I still can't believe I get paid to do this
