Well i'm officially ticked off. Someone is stealing from people in RockMed, so now we have to figure out to lock our personal bags or figure somewhere to put them. WHY?? We are all volunteer and pay for all of our own personal equipment and uniform items. This is just so not ok. UGH

You get paid nothing and have to pay for your gear? Sounds like the biggest thief here is your company.

Well our company provides all the medical equipment, but a lot of us buy our pants, shirts(till we get a company shirt), flashlights, etc. It just ticks me off because it's our personal things that are at the bottom of our bags and someone is going through and going straight to the bottom. Not ok.

Trying to find ideas of where I would want to do a short stint as a seasonal medic during my gap year after college. Something cold and with mountains sounds perfect.

How about limiting yourself in regards to the personal gear you carry, or carry it on your person?

Those of you with dogs and working 24's without someone at home -- what are you doing with your pups?

I try to for the most part, but most of us are coming from other jobs or going to jobs after volunteering, so it doesn't always happen. The latest theft that happen was at a 3 day music festival so limiting the personal stuff was a little difficult for the people working.

36 hour shift done. One hour of sleep. With the last 12 hours being back go back calls.

That's just downright dangerous.

Not having one .

Coworkers that do just have a really wire leash setup and a dog house but that seems to make for a dog with a weird temperament.

Dog door if possible, lots of water and lots of food. Beyond that, you would have to get someone to come in and potty/feed them.
