Graduation

So,Saturday I finally get to graduate from medic school,and it's awesome,and considering all but 2 of us passed our pratical this past weekend in Memphis.All of us went to Beale Street that are over 21 Saturday night,and it was a blast!Now all I need to do is finish my clinicals,and pass my written,and I can get my medics' license,and then finally get into the fire academy eventually.Memphis was my 1st time clubbing,being in a cab,and my 1st jello shot though,even though I barely drank on Beale.

The 1st semester of paramedic school is almost done,and it's gotten really hard with cardiology,ecgs,and pulmonology.At almost all of my clinicals,there's been something major come in,and holding direct pressure for 1/2 an hour SUCKS!Last night's clinical was just slow,which is unusual for that hospital,and being a Friday night.After almost completely forgetting about it because I thought it was tonight instead of yesterday.I've only got a week break for Christmas before next semester starts.

Paramedic School

So,halfway through the 2nd week of paramedic school,things have really started to pick up with it.eEspically since we're about to start pharmacology.Paramedic school definitly picks up faster,and heavier then EMT school,but A&P wasn't super in-depth,which is good since we don't NEED to know as much as a doctor needs to know about cells,and specific muscles,etc.Yeah,there's alot more clinical hours,but we also don't have to finish our requirements by graduation or state testing.
