8, I wouldn't expect anything less from you!

I also left a comfortable living to start a second career in EMS. Albeit, my circumstances where a little different. My wife and I moved to the US when she took a position as an OR nurse at the Trauma centre here. I couldn't work initially, ( immigration issues ) so I was looking for something to do. I signed up for classes as an EMT-B and have enjoyed most of my short time in it. So much so, that I now am enrolled at the CC in the Paramedic program. Our first class was last night and it sounds like it will be a tough road but rewarding in the end.

Going back to school is a bit overwhelming, but I well persevere! LMAO

I'll keep you posted as classes progress.

Hey, I get to join you in the immortality. :lol:/

Me too! Maybe I need to change my online name to " Highlander " 8)

"Tiny Hiney"

I guess im a crowd favorite then?

Nope, I think I am PRPG,

Famous Anus :oops:

Polar Bear swim? serious shrinkage! :oops:

The person below me has done the Polar Bear swim........

OMG, I hate that.

If a cell phone goes off in class you rush to turn it off immediately! And then you don't let it happen ever again.

I don't know how I keep having people in various classes whose cell always rings. Familiarize yourself with your phone and make it second nature to silence it as you walk into any classroom.

Just to add something to this, when I was in Basic class, our instructor made it perfectly clear in the very first class, that if he heard a cell phone ring during HIS class, that person would be removed from that particular session. 8)

Not that there's anything wrong with that! As " MEAT" in Bull Durham says " this garter feels kinda sexy" LOL

The person below me secretly wants to be President.

As a basic we were taught in class that we're not really aloud to declare anyone DOA. However, the instructor mentioned the fact that if we need to take more than 2 steps between compressions and breaths, they are probably dead.

In all seriousness, as Ridryder mentioned check your local protocols for declaring a person dead.

Thanks for the update Ace.

Again, well done :occasion5:

Good Job Ace!

As I am starting medic school in January, I find this most informative and a great read.

Keep up the good work, I will need all the help I can get!

got my piggy bank working on it! lol :thumbright:
