Trying to decide if I want to switch to FT from PRN. It would mean 7 days a week for the next 6 months between school and work but would also put me higher up on the list for a FT medic spot at the end of my program. Also, a full benefits package that PRN employees don't get...

Decisions decisions.

What say ye?
 
For BBG, the gloves we use at work are Supreno EC reorder # SEC-375-S. S, M, L, or XL instead of S at the end for right size. They arethick purple nitrile gloves. Blue thin ones are tactile touch by McKesson 14-6980C for XL. Very thin.
 
I hate thick gloves. I can't feel veins for crap through them and end up tearing a finger tip off to find the vein for an IV site.
 
Try carpal tunnel or C5-4 compression syndrome.

Then you WISH you could tear off the finger.
 
I Goggled images for "long spine board spider strap" and got this:

That's as funny as googling "ONE MAN DRAG" and getting a pic of Mrs Doubtfire.

On a side note, my FTO asked me this morning if I'm one of those marriage guys or domestic partnership guys...awkward.

They're either hitting on you or wanna set you up with their chunky daughter.

You should hear some of the questions I hear as a nearly 40 single male flight attendant.

"uh soooo are you an Elizabeth Taylor fan?"
"so do you have a wi...boy...uhh ummm geeze never mind"
"never been married huh? Wow so is that cuz it's not legal yet or something?"

If you really wanna wind people up just tell em "yeah I have a ball and chain, their name is Pat". Then use gender neutral pronouns from there on out. I have no idea why but it drives people insane.

Without a doubt go for it! I did 7days a week my entire medic school; it's not always fun, but definitely doable. Especially if it helps put you in a FT medic spot when you're done!
 
Tomorrow is my first day starting IVs on people I don't know...makes me a little nervous. Happily I'm headed to a local hospital instead of an ambulance and I get to shadow an ER physician, so hopefully it'll be a day full of learning interesting things for once.
 
So after being in the communications center for the past five years, which was only supposed to be two, I think I may finally be able to get out on the road on a truck. I have been trying for the last few years, even looking at going to another agency but for various reasons it just never worked out. Wish me luck!! :D
 
Yeah, I was supposed to be in the Alarm Room for six weeks

and did ten months of rotating eight hour shifts...two days, three swings, four mids, three off; four swings, three mids, two off. Or something like that. Lost my circadian rhythm for good.

If tear off tip might as well not wear a glove.
