Unfortunately at this point in his FTO time it's just he and I so if I place the vent then I have to attend and he has to drive so he can't provide continuing post-arrest care on the way to the hospital.

Either way I feel like I'm wrong. I'm either doing the patient a disservice or I'm doing my trainee a disservice.

Well, that sucks.

My remedy: Since the kid has a vent, I assume he has a basic knowledge of them. I'd teach the kid how to use the ReVel and SIMV/AC, then make him transport patients on yours for the remainder of his time with you. He learns more, and your patients get the higher standard of care.

Then again, I think my higher-ups question making me an MTO for reasons such as this...

Congratulations!

Before you go in there, I'll give you a tip that my bank gave me. I had a credit card that got away from me. Interest rate was high, I was unemployed for a bit, and what was (now looking back) a low balance blew up to several thousand dollars. I pulled my credit report, disputed the claim, and within a week it disappeared. Did that with the other two bureaus... same result. Now it's gone for good and my score has already started to rise.
 
I completely despise credit cards. I know that if they're responsibly used they can certainly help your credit scores. Currently I don't have one. For years we've been riding the very edge of ruin. A credit card would have ruined us, and the last one we had nearly did. Now that I've got a much better job, in a few more months, I'll get another one and actually use it as a credit-building tool.

I wouldn't bank on it being accurate score wise, it had my accounts on there but their scores have been 40 points low to 20 points high. I still use it as a tool with that being said
 
After this shift, only 98 more shifts to go with this partner. Just got to keep telling myself that to keep on going. Ugh.

Their report is accurate, but for the score they use VanatageScore 3.0 while the vast majority of banks and lenders use FICO.

VS 3.0 is more real time. Once you start fixing your credit you'll notice an immediate change in your score.
FICO takes forever to change.
 
my understanding is the score always varries depending on who is getting it for you. I don't think 20-30 points variance is going to change anything anyways.
 
Eagle med Oklahoma McAlester crash, 1 fatality
 
Sadly it's their third crash in less then 5 years...... Something is up internally. Could be their safety culture, weather decisions, something, but that is an alarming rate for such a short time frame and relatively small program when compared to companies like PHI or Air Methods. I feel safer at my flight job then I do driving/commuting with the crazy *** drivers we have around here. Just need to do research into the industry and pick a program which puts safety above all other variables like cost, expansion, flight volume, etc.
