The service I'm where I'm working per diem just offered me a pretty sweet shift. A 16 hour shift on Wednesday and 24 on Saturday, fixed every week.
After another balls out 14 hour shift in the Urgent Care without a break and no sign of anything getting better anytime soon, I decided to take it. I'll figure the rest of it out later. Right now, I'm glad to be back on a shift that is fixed and has a hard endpoint.

i said I'd be happy to work PRN. Great job for a medic, Just unreasonable expectations from the practice owner. Now I understand out why it's so hard to get and keep "good people". An eight hour shift can't become a 14 hour shift every time you work it.

I'm going out on Wednesday night and want to have my first scotch. What should I order?

Depends on your palate!
I would avoid many Islays (no Ardbeg, Lagavulin, Laphroaig) if you don't want the heavy peat.
I would suggest something from a rum or wine cask, like the Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year.

The most exspensive Johnnie Walker you are willing to spend. I have a bottle of platinum that I enjoy regularly but the blue label is amazing.
Sounds like we have very little room to complain about last minute calls... Could you not just switch locations?

So I'll add you to my list along with @TransportJockey of who to contact when we test then?

Blue label is great, but I think for $180 you can get a much better scotch - a solid single malt you could get for $60!
Addendum to my last - I'd recommend a $40-60 bottle, a Glenfiddich 12 is fine!

Yes. Although TX is going to be a hard sell for my wife. If I were single I'd already be out of here. I think I need to lose some weight and apply for a flight job.

We have two locations and one is usually dead and doesn't staff with a medic after 3 or 4pm usually. The other location is straight out. Last night we locked the doors at 7pm and still had 8 in rooms and a half a dozen in the lobby. It's not a bad thing to be busy, but it happens every day. None of us ate yesterday. Nobody had a break. That pace is unsustainable.

Most unfortunate, @DEmedic. The search for the search for the "great white buffalo" continues...or unicorn, whichever you prefer, I prefer mine a quote from "Hot Tub Time Machine".

There's some other issues there that I won't go into here. The fact is, I really like the job. I work with some really good PAs and NPs who like to teach and let the medics do our thing. The two PAs I worked with yesterday had been at it for years. If you can land a job at an urgent care with good hours, the actual clinical portion of the job is great. In my case, the situation surrounding the job is what's untenable. And there are people who just put up with it because they don't know any better.
So, for now, working the set Kelly shift at the 911 job will be fine.

Okay kids lesson of the day:
If you're allergic to shellfish and the last time you ate shellfish 10 years ago and had a reaction. You probably shouldn't eat shellfish...

Went into a restroom of a restaurant yesterday, I could not believe the number of epi pens in the sharps container. Are there that many people allergic food now days or has the public become paranoid?
