Dead javelinas tell no tales

Javelinas are skittish and will run away if you let them. They are flea ridden as can be and have a very nasty musk gland on their back.

They make great chorizo.
Just keep in mind that it looks unprofessional to disparage another medical system/provider, no matter how good it may feel.
Highlighting what will be different and will be an opportunity at the prospective employer will look much better than simply complaining about your last job.
Consider these two examples. “I want to be able to provide more community oriented care” versus “I was tired of dialysis runs.”
Remember that this company is interviewing you because they are considering hiring you, not because they want to hear the problems with your last place.
Also, assuming you last employer is as bad as you have described, I suspect most other companies are aware of their shortcomings already.

I agree with Peak on this. Your prospective new employer knows about your previous employer's shortcomings. The world of EMS isn't all that large. Seriously. Your new employer wants to know two things about you. 1 - What can you bring to us and 2 - Will you fit into our company culture. Badmouthing your previous company doesn't put you in a good light toward answering either question.

Who has had their second Covid vaccine and what, if any, are the side effects? I've only gotten my first and had a bit of muscle pain much like a tetanus shot. No biggie, but I heard that the second may produce more profound side effects.

The Covid Vaccine thread has a lot of that information.
COVID VACCINE - The Megathread
Hey, brothers and sisters. My agency is making the vaccine available to us 12/28. What are your thoughts on the Pfizer vaccine. Will you get it if you have a choice?

Yup. I love being able to hunt 20 minutes from my house.

The older I get, the more I want my house to be so remote that I can hunt from my back porch.

I think the interview went well. They were impressed with my preparedness, sense of humor, and falconry is always jaw dropping. I gave good answers I think. Asked God questions.
One guy on the panel wanted me to talk more about falconry and birds after the interview, but then his supervisor came in and he couldn't, lol.
Then another guy walks in and I mentioned his my boyfriend was also another applicant in the other room as well. They said that's no problem. The guy who walked in goes "THAT'S WHERE I KNOW YOU FROM, THE VIDEO"
My boyfriend had a project to do for an assessment in school. I was his patient. His class loved the video and a cameo by my ball python.
I can't believe he recognized me from it from so long ago?
I hope that's good.

The position is only part time, but they say it's likely that I'll get full time hours anyway. They just say they can't hire me full time until they're medic students graduate.
They made it sound as if I was hired, pending a background check that takes 3-4 weeks. :/
I have no record. Dangit that it takes so long.

I'd suggest keeping religion (and politics) out of the hiring process unless you are applying at a religious based agency.

Figured as much, but it serves as a good reminder to proofread what you type.

I was nervous a bit.
I mentioned the my resignation and prior service by name and they just cringed at the name. I didn't even need to say anything. They said they'd heard horror stories abounds.

Forgot to mention (bc yesterday afternoon was awful for me) that the sleep specialist wants me to have an in-lab polysomnogram pending insurance authorization. I'm going to ask them if there's any way I can see a recording of my own brain waves. That stuff is fascinating to me. And hey, maybe we'll finally get a clue as to what is causing the chronic fatigue.

I would hope even a religious based agency wouldn't take religion into account during the hiring process.
