  1. When I was born I was so surprised I didn't talk for a year and a half.

    May your year be filled with surprises!

    Happy Birthday Terri!! hug.gif

    Thanks Chaser!!!! right back at you my friendhug.gif But since i didnt get my Christmas wish maybe the BD fairy will grant me my BD wish!

  2. I was wondering how the mothers (or fathers) in here handle the demands of work / school / and having a family? I have a few questions to ask.

    How old were your kids when you started your EMS career?

    Did it get easier as they got older?

    How supportive is your significant other? Are they in EMS?

    Do your children hold any resentment towards your long hours / missed holidays or do they understand / think it's cool?

    I know it will all fall into place. But I will not close my eyes to the fact that it will probably be a rocky start. My kids have had me home for the last year and a half, my husband being the sole provider for the family now. Prior to that, I worked in a 9-5 office job M-F. I was close to their schools, and my boss had no problems when I had to leave for something important. I have a great family unit that can and will step in for me to help with the kids when the time comes. I am hoping that I am doing this at a better time in my life. One child is soon to be 13, the other 10. I will have teenagers by the time I am done with all my schooling. I just wanted to hear how others do it. I know its possible. They will be out of the house (crossing fingers) and starting their paths as I am getting into my prime in EMS. On paper, it seems perfect...lol

    When I started in EMS many moons ago I was still murdered errr married and that was a chore in itself I had no support from my then husband. But after my divorce I put myself through LPN school then RN school years later. My Mom and Sister were the biggest supporters I had besides my boys. But if you want something bad enough you make the sacrifices and you do it. I am the type of person that when someone tells me NO that makes me that much more determined to do it just to say F U. The best advice I can give on the kids part is this include them take them to the squad show them around let them see your work place. Kids are smarter and do adjust well when they are included in the whole realm of things.

    Just keep the communication field open. Communication the key in any relationship no matter what. Good Luck Lisa

  4. Honestly though he hadnt done anything that half the married men/women havent done, its so in the spotlight because of who he is. If it had been some average Joe on the street he would be a hero not a zero! It all goes back to if you are going to PLAY you better be willing to PAY! If you are married act married dont go after everything you see, if you are single then go for any peice you want.

    P_I you may palpate the abd. There is nothing there to palpate nothing out of the normal. (I was not hijacking the thread!)

    Fire: She does have a DNR but she is requesting to go to the ER. She is her own responsible party she makes all the decisions on her health care.
