the 100% directionless thread

The plot thickens.

The whole reason I let my Illinois cert lapse last year is because I was told by the person in charge of the recerts that I had the wrong medical director signature. The persons signature that they claimed I needed hasnt worked for our health system for over two years.

Turns out their information was wrong and I did have the right signature. Jerks.

The next step for EMS education?

The trend at medical schools is just part of a reform movement in the teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) that emphasizes active learning instead of lecturing. Research supports the approach. When a team of researchers analyzed 225 studies that compared active learning and lectures in these fields, they found that test scores improved about 6 percent for students in active learning classes and that students in lecture classes were about 1.5 times more likely to fail than their counterparts in active learning classes.

They never have been reflective of real life, nor were they really intended to be. However, the skills and assessment points are still very valid. Just not performed in the NREMT linear fashion.

Certainly true. Perhaps it's the whole idea of coming in and verbalizing things that we all are aware of/know/do subconsciously (e.g. "they're talking to me, thus they probably have a patent airway") that throws me for a loop.
 
I've got an EKG I took that has me stumped. Once I get a chance I will post it here, I am torn between two things and I think I know what my final call is.
 
while on lunch i was looking at personal trainer certifications to do part time. In my adventure i found this: https://www.nsca.com/tsac-certification/. What in fk is that!!! I heard they train you tactically, with tactical weights, and even give you a tactical pen!
Maybe there are just some things i'll never understand, but begs me to ask the simple question: WHY?

Isn't it "aloha" that's like "shalom" or "salaam", where it means basically everything (hello, goodbye, peace, etc.)?
 
Last 24 hour shift bids went into effect today. For the first time I didn't get completely screwed.
 
I was having arguments in my dreams last night. Woke up completely exhausted.
