    the personality test

    in Funny Stuff

    LMAO... this is interesting!

    **************************************

    Televangelist

    (You are 28% Rational, 71% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 71% Arrogant.)

    "As the Lord as my witness, I swear upon the good book that you are indeed the TELEVANGELIST! Characterized by extreme arrogance, self-assurance, and extroversion, you would make a very charismatic leader (though not a very good one). On top of that, you are also more intuitive than rational, predisposing you to a more spiritual or emotional outlook on life. Thus, you are thoroughly irrational, and you tend to think that sound logical reasoning is overrated, and that it is much better to trust your gut instincts--which must be pretty big instincts, considering the size of your gut. You also tend to be rather gentle and considerate of others' feelings. Clearly, you would make the perfect televangelist. You could easily fleece people of their money and their dignity like so many sheep. Emotional, extroverted, arrogant, and gentle, you annoy the hell out of people who have to listen to the feel-good, intuitive shit spewing from your mouth. Not only that, but people may look down on you as a self-centered asshat. So while you are gentle and genuinely care about others, it is quite clear that you still care about yourself MORE. Why is your personality flawed? Because you are too damned extroverted, emotional, and arrogant. So preach your irrational message, brotha-man! I assure you, no one will be listening. Except for a few bums. But they just want you to feed them crackers and wine.

    To put it less negatively:

    1. You are more INTUITIVE than rational.

    2. You are more EXTROVERTED than introverted.

    3. You are more GENTLE than brutal.

    4. You are more ARROGANT than humble.

    Compatibility:

    Your exact opposite is the &&&&Spiteful Loner.

    Other personalities you would probably get along with are the &&&&Hippie, the &&&&Starving Artist, and the &&&&Robot.

    OR/Intubation Clinical Frustration

    I don't think there's really much I can add that hasn't already been said. Last semester during my OR time, we did have to compete with the CRNA students, and they were usually given precidence over us. I just went along with it, then scheduled more time later so I'd have more opportunities for tubes. But that's just the way it is- life's a competition sometimes. Just do the best you can, and make the best possible impression. You're more likely to have more chances for tubes if you show you're confident and that you know what you're doing. Don't whine and pout on the sidelines if someone else gets to do it, show an active interest in it anyway, and it might pay off next time. :D

    It's not that old cotjockey, all is forgiven!

    I just did another 24 hrs in the ED and never got coffee once! ( well once, but that is because we both wanted one ) My preceptor was extremely helpful. She asked what I wanted to do and when I said I required assessments for my clinical log, turned me over to triage. In my limited experience with ED staff, I have found them nothing but helpful with procedures or if I just had a question.

    Oh well, I guess clinical time is what you make of it. It can be a excellent educational experience, or the longest 12 hrs of your life. The choice is yours alone.

    Couldn't have said it better myself... it's what you make of it. You get out of it what you've put in.

    Nervous about my first day of Paramedic class

    Hi Kelley,

    I would spend the weekend just relaxing, maybe go out with friends. This may be the last chance you will get. Medic class is unlike anything that you have ever done including any Basic class you ever took. Plan on spending 1-2 hours studying for every hour in class. Plus clinical and lab time. It will be worth it when you are done.

    Much love and Respect

    Joshua

    Yeah- enjoy your last weekend of no studying! I haven't had one since January... so take it from me- go out, have fun, relax, and just have a great laid-back weekend. You'll miss 'em when they're gone! :(

    I absolutely love the RN's in the ED where I do my clinicals. They don't hesitate in the least to let us practice our skills... they've told us that having us there doing clinicals actually makes their jobs easier. Granted, we still do a lot of grunt work, but I think that's part of the whole "you scratch my back & I'll scratch yours" philosophy. I figure if I take the initiative to do the not so fun parts of being in the ED, then they're more likely to let me do the fun stuff... and so far, that's more than paid off. I agree txemt- I'll do anything they ask of me as long as I'm capable of doing it. That way when all's said & done, I know I've made the most of my clinical hours.
