I'm finally on spring break. Half-way through my first semester of paramedic school. Things are going pretty good so far. I went part-time at work. The times I've worked since Jan. haven't yielded any interesting calls so far. I'm about to start working for another ambulance service soon. I'll be at it again, working hard. So far in school we've learned about the basics, patient assesment, and airway management. We're starting pharmacology after spring break, and then we're gonna do our hospital clinical rotations, or most of them. This past week we were learning how to do IVs... I had an accident and got stuck with a used needle. So I've spent the past week getting shots, and tests done, just as a precaution. Luckily this happened at school with someone I know, and not at work with someone I have no idea about. I was excited to see I was apparently featured on MSN spaces again. I think that's cool. I'm going to start posting regularly on here... because I realize I don't remember most of my calls now as well as I use to when it was all new and fresh. I'd like to have at least some record of what I've done, mainly to help me do better in the future, but also to share stories with people who are interested in reading them, and have an interest in this field, and especially those who are considering joining the biggest, and bestest family in the world... the awesome team...... EMS.
