Had a highly unusual shift only 2 call, both the same woman and transported her both time.

That deserves some elaboration. On a side note, I transported the same women, twice in one day, for the same problem, to triage each time. She was not happy that I showed up both times, or that we put her in triage. Her ankle pain x 1 year was not really urgent material.
 
Doing a first aid standby for a kids hockey camp...the question is how much money can I ask for five hours a day for one week?

do you care more about the charity or the money?

$100/day in cash isn't bad. I assume the people putting the camp on is getting money from the kids parent's to attend?

a $1000 in cash for the week would be awesome.

the going rate for a BLS crew runs about $1500/day, and an ALS crew $2500/day.

I don't know, and I assume you're doing a "favor"

I am doing someone a favor however I'm not doing it for charity either. The program is sponsored by a division 1 NCAA hockey program so it's not like its a program hurting for cash.

Rates here in Colorado are a little lower sadly. We pay 75 bucks an hour for an ALS ambulance to stand by for our actual games. An athletic trainer working 25-27 hours is only looking at 500 bucks or so total for this kinda event.
 
I'm really ready to start back to school. Hopefully I'll hear soon.

Guaranteed you can do it! Real world experience is really valuable in the classroom -- I wish I had worked full time for a year before going. How much of your bachelors do you have done?

I should have about two years yet. I'm confident I can do it. It's just finding the right online program for my goals. I wish I could do it in the classroom, but there are very few places that do anything other than a rotating shift, and I have to pay the bills.

How do you like it? I've looked into their master's program before, but never known anyone who's taken their courses.

I really liked it. I've been to all types of colleges, online and otherwise, and this was a good experience. I know 5 other people that have taken their classes, one of which took and finished their master program, and it's no joke. Even the bachelor courses were a bunch of work from a time-involved standpoint, but they were good. If you have any specific questions I'd be happy to answer them.

This is the masters program that I decided on: http://www.nova.edu/chcs/healthsciences/mhs/highered_curriculum.html

good stuff!

I've been trying to get back into grad school since my first attempt was not fully successful (never finished my thesis), and try in a career a little more in my wheelhouse.

What kind of courses are there to take?
How long did it take you to finish?
What are your eventual career goals?
 
Some times I wonder about my employer... Just got called to work an OT shift. Had to decline since I don't think the state will allow me to work with myself. :blink: Guess I don't have a partner tomorrow... :glare:
