Hi Everyone. I'm Stacy, I just started my Paramedic program in the beginning of this month, got a long road ahead of me, but I'm excited and looking forward to it.
 
Paramedic school just started for me as well... few weeks into A&P.
Long road ahead indeed.
 
$5 says I know what school you go to... In Richardson, correct?
 
Darn. You're either Brookhaven or Collin County then. No fun.
 
Passed A&P with an 84%... Medic-Prep starts today. I really could have done better with A&P. But honestly, I understand things a lot better than I did before, and I feel that I've learned more from it then I have anywhere else... I'll just keep reviewing the book.
 
I have to wake up at 4am Friday for my first internship shift... I have 2 alarm clocks and my cell phone just to be sure.

Chances are I won't fall asleep till after midnight since I usually go to bed around 3am, but can't afford 1 hour of sleep in a 24hr shift.
 
Welp.. tomorrow I have to be up at 4am for the official start of my internship.

I'll be back Saturday morning ^_^
 
Good luck!


Later!

Pwned the ITLS practice tests last night. Time to go kick ITLS's tush on Sunday so I can start the real fun stuff... ACLS >=D
 
4 shifts in to the internship and finally got to start an IV on someone.

58yo F cc of seizure, stopped by the time we arrived. Started an IV in the rig for precaution so I could push Valium if she seized again, which she didn't.


She had a stroke 9 years ago and still had deficits from that, so during the exam it was throwing me off trying to differentiate between what was new and old, and whether or not it was an acute stroke that the family just mistook for a seizure.
 
Exam on Toxicology/Respiratory/Cardiology(Review)/Endocrine/other stuff tomorrow

epic fail here we come
 
Time sure flies... My Medic Program started in September and as of today, I'm currently at right around 200 IV starts and 7 tubes. I've performed a chemical cardioversion, ran a couple of codes, and nervously, my first RSI. It's been an amazing few months...and there's still so much to learn!

I've been riding with a great medic, and everyday I learn something new. Every damn day.

This was the best career change I could have made, and I appreciate all of the info I've gleaned from reading posts here.

Stay safe friends.
 
I'm still having trouble in med math. I know I'm looking to deep into it. Must be. When they say general concentration, what are they referring to? Its been a long day. We're past all that but I have just been strugling with it. Maybe its because I haven't used it "daily"?

Busy Paramedic packet works out alright. Is there anything else? Common calculations/conversions etc?
