My first shift as a paramedic student was exciting. I've been in class since Jan. now and we've so far finished up fundamentals, patient assessment, airway, IV and med route, and pharmacology. My instructors decided to let us do an ambulance clinical just because we didn't have anything else to do I guess. Our ambulance rides really don't start until August. But anyways... It felt good being in charge and having to make so many decisions... I really enjoyed it. We had a cardiac arrest... so I got to intubate (or try... I missed) and push drugs. We also had a seizure... in which I was put in charge of that scene. I haven't worked on an ambulance in 6 weeks now... besides the clinical, so I was starting to miss it. Now I'm in the process of starting another job. And I got called in to work Saturday where I use to work full time... so it'll be good to see the old crew again. I miss working there. As far as school goes we're starting hospital clinical next week. We'll be doing that for the rest of this semester. Then, during the summer we will start cardiology (one of the subjects I find most interesting).
