I would have preferred green watch and am going to see if I can find somebody who wants to take brown so I can have green watch because there is a person on green watch who wants to swap but it depends if it will be approved or not, apparently its not as simple as just "switching places".
Nothing bad against brown but it's just not what I really want.
But in saying that heck I could be in some backhole rural station doing a 96 hour roster .... so for now, I will take what I can get.

Hour for hour more time is spent on EMS training than fire training once out of the academy. The medical division is well staffed civilian paramedics who provide education and quality control.
It's ALS first response from fire and ALS transport from AMR. Not my favorite model, but at least everyone gets assessed by a paramedic immediately and there are always enough hands on scene.
Thanks. I've also been told to be somewhat non-confrontational with responses to scenarios. I don't like these sorts of tests where you have no idea what to expect. Slightly nervous...

Watch Out!
Returning our patient back home last night and stepped in poo next to their front door. It was human poo, no doubt about it. Who does that? A really sh:censored:ty situation.
At least my boots are really clean now.

Our city fire department is going to be hiring in the near future. I have a way in with the fire department but they require a fire academy. Instead of taking the fire academy I chose to take the medic prerequisite class followed by 10 months of medic school. Sucks :glare:

So I just drove 2 hours to take the NCLEX exam and got done in 75 questions (the minimum) and only took a hour. I was freaking out but according to the Pearson Vue trick (trying to register again and getting a pop up saying you already took the exam) I passed. So it appears I am a RN! Hide yo kids hide yo wife :rofl: I should get the official results in a few days.

My husband's leg had finally been healing, and he has been making great progress at PT. Then, last night, his ankle started looking swollen, was red, and hot to the tough. This morning, part of the scar from his surgery opened up and there was a lot of nasty, yellow drainage. He's off to the doctor for some antibiotics.
I think he has an abscess. :sad:

If only. I just got a call from him. He is on the way to the pharmacy to pick up some "heavy duty antibiotics" (his words).
Apparently, the infection is in between the bone and the plate. The good news is that they don't think the infection is in the bone. The bad news is, even though they are trying the oral antibiotics, they aren't expecting them to work, and are anticipating another surgery to go in, remove the plate, and clean it out.
We just can't win.... :angry::huh::sad:

Never. Look. Back. Never.
I guess he didn't want the non-patient to stink up the back of the rig.
And a belated congrats to the new murse (Safari tried autocorrecting it to nurse, I was having none of that
)

Some of you know that I worked in radio broadcasting for 20 years before becoming a paramedic full-time… I left full-time radio in 2008. And while I can say I didn't miss the full-time job, I did miss playing hits on the radio.
I just got hired today to do some part time on a couple of the radio stations here! Should be fun, I was thinking about changing my name on the radio to "Doc Medic".

Never mind Dr. Dre, its Dr. DJ
I know I have to work with somebody I don't really like and I am thinking of just calling off. She offered to do the driving but I still have to talk to her and you know, be friendly or whatever.
