This year my company will have transported over 27,000 patients (not bad for a small company that has ~ 25 ambulances) and we also have another company joining into ours making our response area huge. I wouldn't mind picking up some shifts in the summer since this company covers some of the Colorado river.

AMR already dispatches blythe tnrough the Havasu/RMI dispatch center, so it seems like a logical progression lol. I wouldn't have minded working for rmi... except I told Valentine he could go do certain things to himself the last time I saw him...

Ugh I hate this time of year. For the last four years this time of year has just made me more depressed as it comes around

Usually the same for me. My birthday follows soon after Christmas, so celebrating getting older sucks.

However, I'm vacationing for the next few weeks :)

I'm really not sure what to do with myself with three weeks off of school. No reading, no papers, no research, no skills to learn. I don't know what to do!!! I think I'm going to make drug cards on brainscapes to learn them.

Lucky!! I have 1 more week to go.
How many drugs do they have you guys learning?
 
They had us do 25 so far. RSI meds. Cardiac meds, and a but of miscellaneous meds. I don't feel like I know them. But if someone asks me about them I seem to know what I'm saying.

Wow... That must be nice. When you drop off an application for my program, they hand you the drug packet then with all of our drugs for the az box. First day of class is a drug test on generic/ trade name, packaging and dosage... Score less than 80 and you don't get a seat in the course.

Wow. We have to learn 75-80 drugs but we do a drug quiz weekly with 5 drugs on it.

That's how it is in certain classes in the colleges here. Especially for math, the first day of the course, you get a test on the pre-requisite course material (on lower level math), if you don't get an 80, you're dropped from the course.
 
I don't recall the drug tests at TCC being especially difficult. In fact, the only stuff that was really a challenge was the quizzes on Dr. Morse' lectures!
 
My program had an entry exam. it was like 300 questions and had drug math, medications, BLS and ALS questions, A and P. each section was graded and than you were ranked

No idea. I don't think anyone knows yet how it will work. It sounded like we will be keeping most of their employees.
