Agreed. Although when you get a late call >50% of your shifts it starts getting to the point where I don't care anymore. Jacked up or not, I really would like to get off on time. Plus the more jacked up they are the more complicated the chart is, usually.
That makes me sound really cold hearted. Not the case at all, but I have a life too!
Casinos are overrated! There's way better places to spend your money out there.
Although 10$, some good friends, a big tip the first time the cocktail waitress comes around and penny slots can make for a damn good time, all for under 20$
The key is the big tip for the cocktail waitress so she comes back more often and sometimes you can talk your way into better spirits than whatever their well bottles are
I read a study somewhere about how driving a vehicle after 24 hours of no sleep was similar to driving with a BAC of .08. I'll see if I can find it, it was a while ago though.

Weird call last night.
We were called for a pedestrian PI. Car vs bike. We arrived on scene with PD and there was no pt to be found. A whiteness stated that this lady hit the guy. Picked up his bike, put it in her back seat and then put him in the front and took off.
We drove around looking and PD finally found the vehicle. The lady blew a .23 and said she was gonna take him to the ER, but freaked out and decided to take him to her house instead.
So not only did she hit someone while intoxicated, she also is being charged with kidnapping.
And that is why my job will never be boring.

You're doing it wrong, not bringing them sacrifices of food once a shift.

I miss working the truck on a pretty regular basis. Then I read something like this and go "the office isn't really that bad..."

You really can't lol
Not sure if anyone here will know, but I've been looking for a ER tech position.
Does anyone know if a ER will bend the rules about having a high school diploma? I don't graduate until May, so... I do have my state EMT license now, though.
Also, they all say you have to be phlebotomy trained, which I'm partially through, but since it's through the high school, I don't sit for the NR until May. Would they wait that long for me to sit or would I have to go through one of their little program that's like 2 weeks or whatever?
No one has contacted me back to answer those, so I don't know if it's worth writing up a new resume and not sure if I should put phlebo on there, since I'm not 100% done.
The position has perfect hours for me, so I'm really interested, but like I said, I've got no response from who I was referred to contact to ask about it.

Another question that can only be answered by the people doing the hiring.
Want me to guess? High School diploma will be required.

I've always heard that sometimes they bend the rules. Was just hopin'.
Like I said though, I tried contacting them several times saying I had a few questions about the position and no one has answered. Tried phone every day for the past 4 days and sent a few emails.
They still have the listing up, which is why I'm so confused why they aren't responding.

Wow...
They usually will with non medical positions, ie. clerical positions, janitorial, cafeteria people. You also don't have your actual license to practice since you wont sit for the test until after you graduate. Unless they're very desperate for people they usually won't wait, and techs are usually a dime a dozen. At least down here.

This site has been slow lately
I know I don't have the phlebotomy license, yet. Was saying I have my EMT out of the way.
Thanks for clarifying, though. I'm just going to go back to looking at urgent cares, since they don't require a hs diploma.
Would've loved to of gotten my foot in the door at a major ER, though..

Don't give up, all I'm saying is that it'll be hard, but keep pushing for it. But don't have high expectations.
