yah....
i make anywhere for 4-700 dollars per shift, depending on how much i've worked that week, or how badly they need me to just keep on coming in.
bonus shift vs critical need pay
they way i figure it... if i'm off and bored i spend 4-500 dollars. it just makes more sense to come home, go to sleep, get up and go back to work. I end up with the great experience of following a case closely and seeing the results of my work on an day in day out basis...
then again... if i dont go to work, i'm always spending too much money.
what a dilemma.

Gosh, you guys suck. I say keep me from working and you all tell me to work!
I'm off today. Thank God. It was hard, they paged out shifts than called me directly but yesterday was heck so I took today off.
We ran six (would have been seven) calls that day while everyone else was holding and running 4 calls.
I forgot to grab the battery for our stretcher, then we had a patient on the stretcher and couldn't get the stretcher to lock in, had a new truck brought to us. Figured out it wouldn't lock because the back wasn't fully extended. Ran our butts off, then we were going to get a patient, and our truck wouldn't start, so we waited for a jump from the tow truck guy and it almost didn't jump. And 4 out of our six calls were at private residences (Which I HATE.). It was just time to take a day off.

Was woken at 4.02am by the lovely (not) rocking of yet another earthquake. 5.9 at Taupo, in the centre (center) of the North Island.
New Zealand is having far too many earthquakes at the moment!:sad:

I'm going to start posting this every time someone complains about how much the NREMT or state exams cost.

USMLE step I in Europe is $950 USD.

Yea... but I'm waiting for my NBME ID so that I can schedule that one too. While it's not going to be almost $1000, combined for step 1 USMLE and COMLEX isn't going to be pretty.

It's not even my bill to foot and I feel like I got punched in the stomach just reading it.
Because Brown is a foreign alien who has been paroled into the United States, Brown has hole up at a motel for the night just north of the Florida/Georgia state line.
There were too many Florida Highway Patrol Officers out on the Interstate and they could probably spot the trail of green Brown alien slime a mile away.
Now, how to distract the Georgia State Peach-trol ......

I thought that was the whole reason of even mentioning 21..?

Wasted implies walking ability. At least he'll have that going for him.

That's what ems conferences are all about, right? The before/during/after parties.
