  • NO MORE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can you believe it? I actually made it through school. I was just reading my last post and sat here and laughed at it. I remember so clearly thinking I had it so bad at that time but little did I realize it was only the beginning. My life was literally taken away from me because i had a 24hr. shift then went to school for 8hrs. then went to work for 12hrs. Now I am not sure how I ever made it through that. But I can now say I am finished with school and i am moving home this weekend. I am not sure what will be waiting there but I just know that i will be back with family and the most exciting part is NO SCHOOL!!!!!! I am hoping to get me a job working on the ambulance but only time will tell that. In the mean time I will be working on getting my license up in kentucky. Well my friend is waiting for me to cook supper so I am going to hang it up for this evening.

  •  Well, I did actually survive all the needle sticking in class. I was a little sore from the veins that they missed and bruised me pretty bad but now I know what my patient feels like when I miss their veins. I have been rather busy but figured it would be nice to just sit down and update my site. I have been rather busy with riding on the ambulance and trying to drive it. I still need a lot of practice with driving but fortunately the medic that is training me is still alive and not bruised too bad. I sent them sliding from one end of the ambulance to the other...... ALL by MYSELF! but then again that isn't something to be proud of. They just chose to do the driving for the rest of the day (NO offence taken). I would rather take care of the patient in the back of the ambulance anyway. It tends to have a little bit more excitement when you are working with the patient.

      I had a test today at school and he gave us our assignments for this week and I about fell out of my chair. We have a quiz to do and the quiz is only 238 questions long. Not only that, we have to study eight different drugs. We have to know everything about them and we also have to make ourselves flash cards so we can remember them a little easier. This is a time when I have to ask my self the question of why I ever got myself into this mess. But DEC 16th!!!!!!!!!!!! You can safely make a bet that this date is etched in my memory and all over my books and calenders. It is the LAST day of medic school! The day that I will be living for. Well, I have my work cut out for me so I need to run along and start to study those drugs.

  • Well..... Drama, Drama, Drama. That has been the story of my life the last while. It seems that I am always in trouble and can't get out. Any one have any suggestions?!? I started volunteering at Manatee County EMS and I got into a long drawn out situation with one of the medics and to top it all off the charge nurse thought she had to babysit me at work. I didn't know I was that important that I had to be babysat but they say you learn something new every day! I was told by the charge nurse that I had to tell her what is going on in my personal life and when I ask that she let me alone so I could do my job she follows me into the next room. She then shuts the door and tells me, "As your charge nurse I demand you tell me what is going on in your life right now." Again I asked her to let me alone. She follows me into the next room and tells me that if I walk out without telling her then I will be sent home. I choose to go home. She even followed me to the restroom and stood outside till I was finished. I am not sure why but like I said, I am more popular then I thought. Not only that but I got to meet the Chief in EMS and the following ride time he stopped in to see how I was doing. I guess I will have to hang out with him after all he is the one that has the final say when they hire some one for the EMS crew. All in all it taught me a lot and also got to show the medic and charge nurse what forgiveness is. That in itself was a great opportunity and am very happy to have had part of it. Everyone else was telling me to not apologize and not to meet with them but God helped me to keep my head on straight and to show them the love and forgiveness that the LORD has shown to me. That is more important in my book and not only that but to have that opportunity and not take it.... I would hate to think what the LORD would have to say about it.  Thanks to GOD for helping me in that trying time. I will admit that by the time we got everything settled I was about ready to shoot myself. But then again GOD will never give you more then you can handle.

      School has been going fairly well and we are having a good time. We are all getting used to each other and the more comfortable we get with each other the funnier class gets. It defiantly makes the time go by faster and makes for a lot of great memories. We are getting ready to start IV's on each other tomorrow in class. That is pretty scary. I guess if you don't have an updated blog in the next few weeks it is because I am still recuperating from the loss of blood and the trauma that my body went through. Well, I have many other things to do right now so I have to quit blogging. Till next time ~ Am

  • Well, I am still alive but after Friday my life as I know it  will be over. School starts on Friday and I have so many things going that I will not have time to get everything done. I signed up to do some volunteering for the EMS crew in manatee county and I have 60 days left to get all my skills checked off. That doesn't leave much time when you are in school due to the fact that I will be riding with the crew for 24hrs. every time I ride. I have to put in another 8 shifts within the next 60 days. Doesn't sound too bad until you add working 3 nights a week and school 2 days a week. But I am sure It will get accomplished since ..... where there is a will, there is a way!  I have to finish this week out at the county fair and I am ready for that to end. I only have today left there but I will not get off till 10p.m. Which means I won't get home till 11:00 tonight. It has been rather uneventful the last few days at the fair because it is so cold that no one wants to get out of the house. Yesterday it was only 50 degrees outside and the wind was blowing and it seemed a lot colder. It is not very pleasant to have to sit out in that kind of weather. Sometimes I wonder why I get myself into these things but I haven't figured out the reason yet. If anyone can help me figure it out please let me know. Monday was my last day working at Yoder's restaurant as a waitress. Can't do two jobs, school, and still volunteer. So I had to quit Yoder's. I don't know a lot of anything else so I might as well quit blabbing.

  • I have had quite the weekend..... I thought I was going to have off for a whole weekend but what a surprise I had. I was around the house singing and saying how I haven't had a weekend off for so long and how I was really going to enjoy it......... WHAT WAS I THINKING? I ended up working at the Hospital only to have to sit one on one. I was so bored and I was so tired of sitting that I was about to go insane. I took three different books with me to read and my paramedic book so I could study but after having to sit for twelve hours..... Even the three books got kindda tiresome. So I pull my BIBLE out and started reading and flipping through the pages and I was inspired by what all stood out to me. I was talking to the person I was sitting with and they were saying how no one cared about them anymore. I was talking to the person and I told them that it wasn't true. If no one cared about them they wouldn't be where they are now. Not only that but if I didn't care then I wouldn't be there either. The person seen I had my Bible and we talked a little bit about Christ and what all He has done for all of us. The person still didn't seem to believe it. I was then inspired to write this poem that is below.......

     

    Who is this Christ of Galilee

    The one who everyone wanted to see

    The one who people call Jesus Christ

    And say He gives people eternal life?

     

    Jesus Christ is The Holy One

    He is my Father's only Son

    He is my savior and will be till the end

    He is a great Teacher and a Friend.

     

    He is the one who died on the cross

    To save our souls from eternal loss.

    He gives forgiveness for all our sins

    So we in the end a crown will win.

     

    He's the giver of life to those who believe

    He's the one who our burdens will relieve.

    He is the only GREAT HIGH PRIEST

    who sad to say people know the least.

               ~ inspired by GOD

      Who is Christ to YOU? What did He do for YOU? I got this inspiration from Mark 8:27-29 when Jesus was asking his disciples who they say He is. Truly we serve a great and mighty LORD. What would life be like if we didn't have Christ in our life?
