the 100% directionless thread

I know I'm like 15 years late to the party... But I'm reading the Harry potter series.

I promised my husband I wouldn't stay up late to finish the order of the Phoenix. But who are we kidding. I only have 200 pages left!

That just means your next position will be that much better.

At this point I'll take any position haha. Turned down a job with AMR two weeks ago hoping that the ski patrol thing would work out. That was plan B, and I haven't gotten around to figuring out what C looks like yet.
 
Just figured out how I am getting my bachelors degree in paramedicine! But first step is to get my paramedic! Anyone have good tips on learning all the drugs? I just bought a stack of flashcards. Wondering if anyone has any other ways to learn them.

I used a dry erase board. I wrote in sharpie things like name, dose, indications, contras, whatever I needed to know. Then in dry erase I just kept filling it out. Over and over again. I did 6 drugs at a time.

Bet you ended up with a lot of dry erase markers by the end of it. I like that idea... (think I am going to use it...) :ph34r: THANKS!^_^

Phoenix.
I still haven't been able to get a straight answer. Heard like 50/50 yes and no that they are 21+. I have a call in to the HR director now, haven't heard anything back though.
Edit: Just heard back. All 3 (PMT, SW, R/M) are 21+.
Time to check into Lifeline again, now that AMR bought them. See if anything has changed since the last time.

Mostly northern Arizona. Flagstaff, Prescott, Williams (Grand Canyon), Wickenburg, etc...
I'm relatively close to Prescott and they have 2 openings there and it's supposedly a really nice place to work. Pay isn't really competitive compared to others, but they all work out of stations, which, IMO, makes up for it.

21+ must be a contract specific requirement.

Or insurance requirement.
 
Done of lot of working on myself after the run I had recently and think I've finally got myself sorted out back to my usual self. Well not who I was before the job but definitely working to get back there.

Recent calls and events outside of work in my life made me realize how good I actually have it. My friend today described it beautifully, "you live in the most beautiful place in the world where you can do everything that you love and more, you've got a career that you love and are passionate about, you've got a girl that cares deeply about you, you have your family close...what more can you ask for?"

Really made me realize how lucky I am.

Also made me realize how lucky I am to have met the folks that I have and learned so much from those I've met on here. Really gives me faith in the EMS community and humanity as a whole. There's a speed bump or a detour every now and again but we're working on it.

Stay safe out there ladies and gents!

Nice dude. I just got an email announcement for ALS patrol. Definitely considering it. Impinges on sled time though...

Unfortunately as it turned out things did not work out. Made it through the hiring clinic and onto to the top 15 list. Originally I was told I had a good shot to pick up one of five open positions, but then a few former patrollers with ALS experience said they wanted to come back to the mountain leaving no spots for me...

Big time bummer.
 
Thought I was supposed to start at 0700, until I show up and try to clock in, get a message saying I'm clocking in late. Check ePro and apparently they rescheduled me at 0530. On duty supervisor says I was supposed to double check ePro on my own last night.

Yup, day 2 of third rider FTO training at the new job is off to a great start. -_-
 
Been racking up the CEU's while I am off duty. Blew out my back, and am on restricted duty. I can drive, but no lifting/ hard exertion.
Sleeping sucks. Can't get comfortable.
 

Balloon Fiesta this morning :)
