2 more days of surgery... 2! Almost survived my first month... 2 more days until I move to the promise land (EM).
 
Bored at work. I've had 5 patient contacts in the past 6 shifts.

Edit: Hi

well thats pretty darn awesome! my record is 3 in 48...watched sooo many movies that shift. i will miss IFT (sike not!) :rofl:
 
The ride along went well, and I think he's gonna be my preceptor. In my county, you have to get a county issued ID to say that you work as an EMT, Paramedic, Paramedic-intern, etc. to operate as one within the county (when picking up patients). So the next step is getting that county issued ID, and I should be set.
 
My truck had almost thirty calls last week. The other had maybe ten. That was busy for us
 
So I have to take an a state IV access course for the next three days. You know, the same class I took three years ago. To do the same skills that I've been doing for the past year and a half for a different agency in the system. All because it wasn't taught by an Evil Empire instructor?
 
4 calls per shift? Must be nice!

I avoided that course when I worked in Colorado lol. But it was a hassle to get them to take my intermediate 85 certs in place of it

This is the first place that wouldn't take my certificate from another approved training center. I've worked at three other places and all of them were totally fine with it.

The AMR op here is solid but they certainly force the kool aid on a bit strong sometimes.
 
I am lucky to have found a preceptor as of yesterday. My clinical coordinator resigned today! :o

Wow. What does that mean for your classmates who may not have found preceptors yet? Hearing about this makes me very grateful I went to paramedic school where I did.

The more I read about Colorado EMS the more ridiculous it sounds.
