Well, did you mouth off to a nurse or say anything that might be construed as disrespectful?

I asked her if she was really sending a patient to the ER for an ear infection. Then I asked her what made the ear infection an emergency.
I asked to get a better picture of what was going on... To see if there was something I was missing.
My tone was very even. I don't feel like I was disrespectful or mouthy.

So, Sash, are you complaining or did the Nurse deserve it?
Not good to have on your record but some things are worth standing in the corner for a while. If it's a pattern, be more cautious. Better yet, have something on the nurse so he/she can't squeal!

That moment when one sentence makes you realize that you're not as good of a person as you thought you were...that moment when you decide to change. Yup, I just had it.

Well, that just sucks. As you certainly know, when you're working IFT, unfortunately, in most cases it's "you call, we haul". And most nurses aren't accustomed to, or real comfortable with, an "ambulance driver" telling them what is and isn't an emergency.
Just another reason I'll never do IFT again.
I'm far too mouthy, and would most certainly be fired.

Had an awesome ER shift.
10 iv starts, 5 IVP, 1 IM, and 3 blood draws.
Nuse said I was the best student she has ever had, and if I needed a letter of recomendation just let her know.
/ tooting my own horn.

There ya go! Now you know how it feels, it just gets easier and easier.
I have to remember that tomorrow and the next day I am wearing my Intermediate pants and not my paramedic intern pants on the truck. I can go back to wearing my paramedic pants on friday. :rofl:

Yupyup, that's what I've been told. Screw IVs, though, I plan on being a dynamic airway sultan by the time I'm through with medic school.
Speaking of which, how goes the internship so far, bud?

I need lots of practice with airways before I can even think about that. I'll settle for the IV ninja for now.
It's going pretty well only had 2 days one of which was a transfer day but even that was cool. Had an emergent IFT for a lady with pulmonary edema. Pretty crazy, you could hear it from the doorway into her room in the SNF. Also had a couple vent transfers one of which I ended up using 8 mg of versed. He was on a versed drip but we don't have pumps, only our CCT medics do so they disco'd the drip and gave 5 mg before we left and I did 2mg q5 per the sending doc to keep him down. Not ideal but it was an interesting transfer. Not like most we get. Oh the fact that he was on contact and droplet precautions along with being a bigger individual made it even more entertaining and a pain in the ***.
