There is no paradise mi amigo. No matter where you go you will find lots of idiotic policies.

That will open some doors. Tough it out for now and you'll find something better.

I'm looking at taking FP-C and going back to school.

Hey - some of those look familiar. You're the guy that posed in your underwear with guns and guitar hero controllers on your bed, aren't you?

No. Not linking the pic. This is a FAMILY FRIENDLY site. (So don't anyone else do it either).

Bonus points if you can name whose house those were taken in.

How did it go!?

Unfortunately didn't get a spot. I'll find out next week as to why when I sit down and review all my results with them.

Medic 424 is not a happy place to be right meow.

Don't sweat it. You'll get 'em next time dude.

Can't expect your ems career to pinnacle this yearly on.
You'll either pull it off in the future or you'll go on to bigger and better. At least now you know what the process entails and you can build yourself around it.

I want that Rec Room. No, I want the one Charlton Heston has, but I can afford the one Burt has.

I'm sorry hun. Better luck next time. You are still young and new. You will get there one day.

ROFL. So I made a joke wishing "UCLA better luck next time... after all not all UCs can be like the undefeated UCI" (the side joke is that UCI doesn't have a football team) and someone unfriended me over it. It's like, "Really? You're that hurt over losing a game?"

I know someone who's uncle killed himself after the Buffalo Bills lost the Super Bowl the 4th straight time. Some people take sports VERY seriously. Pretty ridiculous.

I know that... but there are better places than EMS in NM...

That's the plan. I'm seriously looking at third services or a few certain private services where I can do more than just be a street medic (like the Maroon service w/ community paramedics)

At the moment I work at one of the suburban stations in the Auckland District but I have worked out of Pitt Street for a short time.

City station is, as the name implies, the central Ambulance station for Auckland and it covers obviously the CBD and inner suburbs out to about as far as Remuera and Mt. Eden as well as all the western waterfront area like Pt. Chev and Herne Bay. Anything immediately beyond that is covered by New Lynn and Mt. Wellington so it's a pretty big area for 3 ambulances plus a couple of PTS vehicles.

Yea I was surprised at how few ambulances covered that large of an area. I think I was in City 24, I had a great crew that let me jump right in. We had back to back cardiac arrests and made it so far out of the CBD that one patient ended up getting transported to North Shore hospital.

I came away very impressed with St. John.

If I leave from here it will be because I finished a degree or a flight job. Really looking at moving to flight just to get off the streets while I work on a degree.

And the theme for the night is to take care of your chronic health issues. Poorly controlled diabetics and seizure patients non compliant with Dilantin have ruled the night.

Small rant. Why does it matter to an ER nurse if someone came in by us or car? There are only 2 patients in a 30 bed ER and the nurse wanted to criticize our patient for calling 911. He was having the worst pain of his life (probably appendicitis) and called 911 because of it. That's what we're here for. And the patient was going to show up at their ER anyway.

I would love a flight job and until recently I was so sure that is where I would eventually end up but I am starting to realize it is probably not the best career route for me. It would be a dream job but ultimately side track me from getting my masters.

I've resisted it for a long time. Now I'm thinking it would be a nice change from the streets and will deal mostly with CCT type patients which is the part of job I really enjoy. Like a new challenge. I'm bored with being a street medic.

And the schedule I think will allow me to go back to school and pursue a nursing degree or engineering degree.

That was difficult lol
