I can't stand that website except for the Critical Care forums. Everything else is pretty much touchy feely garbage and *****ing sessions.

And how about the discussions of post-nominals? :lol:

I suppose it is public..."Should I try to become a nurse in a Naturopathic clinic or a Naturopathic doctor?"

The hippies were frolicking quite happily until reality came swinging in on page 1, and I proceeded to laugh heartily.

Well didn't make to the second step for fire testing. Passing the written only required a 70 I got an 82 and they are only taking candidates with an 83 or higher. Needless to say I am kind of grouchy right now and bummed.

Sorry to hear it, but keep trying! I know the Walmart of fire departments (CalFire) hires medics like the real Walmart goes through door greeters.

Yeah it was for seasonal FF but I knew it was still a long shot, needless to say though still disappointing, theres always that little bit of hope haha.
 
I really wanted that particular department because they handle all the transports for the city.

Right, but Chase is a nurse, not an EMT. See what I did there?

I'm kidding. I know how bad all nurses and SDN are.

SDN is only really bad in the pre-allo/osteo forums. Get into the Allo/osteo/residency forums and it's really not that bad.
 
Sat down and decided to watch Cops. It just happened to be one of the episodes they filmed in my response area and of course I see one of our normal psych patients yelling at PD and trying to steal one of their units. Never gets old haha
 
Just got the offer from AMR for the part-time job I applied for. I don't know if the HR lady hates me or just doesn't think about it, but I need more lead time than a week to go do their physicals, drug tests, and start orientation. I mean, I have a full-time job and just can't drop everything on such short notice.

I think HR people live in a vacuum.

That's awesome!

I feel compelled to share my favorite psych Pt story

Jambi's Brain said:
My most memorable Psych was a 21 year old women with epilepsy that use a walker. The story starts with my partner and I getting dispatched to a PD arrest scene for someone that was pepper sprayed. The story, it turns out, was that this women was angry with her boyfriend, so she dragged herself, 3 year old son, her walker, and a hammer down to where his car was parked and booted behind the apartment complex she lived in. She then proceeded to beat on the car with the hammer. Police show up, tell her to drop the hammer, and the 3 year old pulls away from mom to split. Mom swings around to grab kid, and the police think she swinging at the kid. The pepper spray her into oblivion.

I show up to find a 21 year old, 100lbs women sobbing and snotting onto the car, in handcuffs and bent over her walker ( which was in front of her) and the car. Yes, PD pepper sprayed a person that needed a walker to get around. She gets transported to local ED for eval.

Fast forward 6 hours and my partner and I getting our proverbial donkeys handed to us.

Dispatched to ED for a psych transfer. yay.

We walk in and it's the Pt from before, only no one bothered to tell her she was going to ETS (Psych facility). She's been there before, and doesn't want to go back. the sight of the gurney loosed the dogs of war and it was on. Imagine the exorcist scene. This patient is going for broke. Cursing, screaming, flailing, biting, kicking, hitting...everything. Her mother is equally as loud, only she's praying and laying over the top of Pt. Pt's neighbor, a 400+lbs black woman, is in the corner singing Amazing Grace as loud as she can.

There are 6 of us trying to restrain here. Everytime she tries to bit she makes this high pitched packman sound (like this at 1:04). I wasn't quite fast enough and she got my hand, but only enough to get my glove, which she tore off my hand then proceed to flail it around in her mouth like a dog with a chew toy while making growling sounds.

Eventually doc came in, yelled, "F this," and juiced her up with some Ativan. She slept nicely after that.

Turns out her family had lied to her about where she was going to go. Never lie to a patient, especially a psych patient.
