I realize it's been awhile since I have updated. I've got some interesting news. my job lead on star really panned out. they offered me a full time job. I started yesterday (the 21st). I'm supposed to be working 12 hour shifts, but for now will only be doing 8 hour shifts until my partner gets driving status. I work 10AM-10PM mon/wed and every other weekend friday-sunday. I am still working at lifetime fitness on the days I don't work at star, so I'll be pretty busy.
My first day was not as bad as I thought it would be. I was nervous because I was in the back of the ambulance by myself with all my patients while my partner drives. I'm learning the paperwork and even some of the roads already. I'm going to be primarily in waterford/white lake area. My faith in my ability to take vitals dispite my nervousness was well placed. My vitals were pretty perfect, almost exactly on with the machines at the hospitals. that's all I really do is take vital signs. I'm looking forward to this job. I am still nervous about my first big trauma run, whenever that happens. but I have faith in my training from OCC and I feel comfortable with my medical knowledge.
the next big thing that needs to happen is getting a job at a fire dept. there are many I am going to apply for as a volunteer until I know where I'll be for the long haul.
also, on the lighter side, I have learned how to blow smoke rings with my pipe. not that I smoke it more than once a month or so at the bar, but it feels like an accomplishment for me for some reason. |
