Adding to the list of things I never imagined I would have to say:
"Mommy never showed you how to operate a mint wrapper?"
"Stop trying to dance with the dog"
"Don't pick the dog up while he's going potty"
"Don't... rake... the car"
"No you can't ride in the trunk of the car"
"Please stop trying to crawl through the dog door"
"Rakes aren't for mommy's hair"

Beauty sticks the beast or watch BBG almost pass out
The back story on this is I screwed up on my first try getting an IV started on her but she was nice enough to let me try a second time. Then she nails mine on the first try. I felt awful :/

Dress code not being followed, disrespect issues, a whole bunchfor grades. We pretty much have a zero tollerence rule. We tell all the students what is expected of them and things that will get them kicked out of the program.

How do you know that EMS isn't a small community without having had to draw your paycheck from it? Even if you only plan on volunteering, you have one reputation and one only. Anything that tarnishes it takes far longer to remove than it did to get it on there. Listen to NVRob here, he isn't kidding. There is no harm in being careful.
You are who you are, represent yourself accordingly.

Well good point. Obviously I've seen students bounced from a class for academic reasons, that should go without saying. However, most students who are removed from an EMT or paramedic program, not for academic reasons, are usually dropped because of ethics violations or patient endangerment. Those seem to be the two biggies that'll get you tossed as fast as the admin can do it. And those seem to be the kind of things that would get you "banned from the clinical site and banned from the program."

Rocked my heart blocks quiz today.
And on another note. Am I wrong to not want to think of my pts that don't make it as people. I don't want to know who they are, or that they just graduated, and were an only child. I don't want to see their obituary.
I swear I don't get some people that I work with.

Nope. Not wrong at all. That's part of the reason I don't live in the community I work.

Congrats
I'm the same way. I don't read the obituary. I don't google them. I don't even remember their names (this goes towards all my patients, alive and not). The only time I will ask about them is in the ER to find out what their Dx was then they get erased from my memory.
I'm horrible at remembering names so it's easy however I can remember what their C/C was.

What does a weighted total mean in terms of your grade? Probably a dumb question but it's been a looooong time since I've been in class.

certain assignments are worth more than others regardless of how many points they are out of. It will be outline in your syllabus how much is worth what. It may be something like Exams 50%, homework 25% and quizzes 25%. So if you have a homework assignment and a test both worth 100 points you can not just add the two together and average the points. You would take the exam grade total and multiply by the percentage and then do the same with the homework and add them together.

I was poking around on our employee website today and discovered that I am the 11th most senior EMT at my company. Wait what?
