You're also at work for a week at a time...sort of changes it a bit.

I suppose 45 minutes isn't too bad, I don't mind it at least. Twice a month I'll pick up a 24 an hour away, I'm glad that isn't my full time spot.

They will be 12's, but only 2 to 4 per month. The drive is over mountains. I guess I'm just worried about fatigue driving round trip after a 12. I-17 in Az is notorious for bad accidents.

If you need to sleep for a few hours after a shift before driving home, do it. A 12 hour shift with a 1 hour drive home is reasonable, but you have to make sure you're good to go if you were up all night.
 
Had mock practical exam today. Went well!

Medic school and working full time is a little overwhelming.

I know the feeling all too well. Did that during Medic school and through Nursing school.

That's what is preventing me from entering medic school at all.

Having effective time management is the key to being able to do well in Medic school if you have to work while going to school. It's possible. It also helps to know your learning style and how you learn most efficiently.
 
I will be on my own soon and will not even be able to pay the tuition. Maybe in time I will figure out my new life/financial situation and will be able to move up in the ems world. In the meantime, I am studying on my own and will try to be the best EMT possible.

I did through medic and I am through Nursing. It's exhausting but definitely time management is a plus.

I've learned quickly I can't do online classes. You just got figure what works for you.
 
Please someone tell me why the ER nurse tried to draw labs off of the nice IO I had established. Why!? And then yell at me and tell me it's no good.

Fill out the fafsa and it will cover your entire tuition probably.

Because a lot of ER nurses don't get exposure to an io very often. Especially non trauma centers
