Well, I am now on Spring Break. I welcomed a couple days off, but I want to be back in class. I'm studying in the Library (taking a break to write this). I can't believe I am almost halfway done with school. Wow. Time sure does fly. I am really excited for my trip tomorrow. If this all works out, it will be an extremely good career move for me.

Well...I had another clinical yesterday...I had my RT (Respiratory Therapy)Rotation/Clinical...It was AWESOME!!!! I'll start from the beginning....I arrived at the hospital about 10 minutes early. Went up to Respiratory Therapy and introduced myself and got assigned to Mike. I got briefed on what we'd be doing and if I had any questions. No real ( Read more... )

Wow....What a long 3 weeks it's been. I've done nothing but school it seems. But, as a result, i'm doing really well in school. I got signed off on IVs, so I was cleared to start my IV clinicals, which I have started. My first one was last night, it went really well I think! I got 2 IVs and probably a dozen blood draws. Not many people needed IVs, ( Read more... )

Well...It is the end of my first week as a second semester Paramedic Student. I had to stay home today because I was sick. I think I was more upset about staying home than the cold I have, and I absolutely HATE being sick. But, what do ya do? There is a cold going around, and I managed to catch it. I'm already feeling better after spending pretty ( Read more... )

I'm finally done with finals!!!! I passed EVERYTHING!!!! I got above the class average on my Intro to Paramedic final, so I'm happy with that. I feel I could've done better, but what is done is done. I will end up with an A in that class. :-) Pharmacology final was tonight. I think I did well on it. :-) I got B's on both my Medical Terminology and ( Read more... )

Well, I had my Intro to Paramedic final this morning. 200 questions...YOWZA!!!! It was tedious, not overly difficult, but tedious. I still have my Pharmacology final to go. Hallie and I just got back from Wal-Mart. It's the Wal-Mart grocery store ("Neighborhood Market") thats right near her place. I swear, everytime I go in there, I feel my IQ drop ( Read more... )
