Clinic time, testing,ramblings of an annoyed student

When people see a blue shirt that says EMS STUDENT in large letters under a cool star of life logo their first thouts is wow this person has no idea what they are doing get the hell away from me. i Guess people dont really understand that I will be the guy walking through your door at two in the morning when your emergency turns into my emergency.
this vital point is missed by many and thus here i am two weeks before the end of my semester with not all of my objecves done yet i have done more clinical hours then any other person in my class. the other day i actualy got the line from a nurse, well she has a lot of hospital connections so i better start this iv, the lady had veins the size of a bloody subway tunnel I told the lovely nurse in centeral maine medical center, well how am i supposed to get any pratice in? and my response was well she is the wife of the CEO in the hospital... lets be honnest that dosent mean shit to me. I dont cae of your the bloody president of the united states your getting treated the same way in the back of my ambulance. so if the ceo is in the back of my truck... does that mean i should be lik ewoah... let not give her an IV because she has connections. my point being as a student i need to learn, i need to get hands on time and you are not going to let me then back the fuck off and dont let me use ou as a clincal site. dont ask just be like HI we have a student here who is goign to be starting your iv today. or at least let me introduce myself so i dont have to look like a total idiot.

the good news is the Unity Ambulance is now an offical proctor for me for just IV pokes, why this couldnt have happened from the start is beyond me
intill later

so its been a year...

Its been a long time since i last posted but i suspect that there are not alot of people out there who acutaly read this anyways so i am guessing that its not a huge deal to a whole lot of folk and sine the purpose of the blog is more for my own purposes i dont feel too bad about.
regardless
a lot has happened in the last year I worked for the AMC all last summer and that was all fine and jolly, except for the fact that it rained all summer long, other then that the summer was un-eventful. I started my third year at unity college and spent the fall semester going to school working for LL Bean and busting ass for unity ambulance ( since some of one had to do it)
the end of the fall brought a big change I decided to go for my EMT I which is the step below paramedic in maine. I managed to get Unity Ambulance to pay for my class which is great since i basicly have given them my soul over the last three years, so since january i have been at a full out sprint.
Full time at unity college as an outdoor ed major and full time at KVCC as a Intermediate student in the paramedic program.
28 credits total its a bit of a handful, a huge chunk of my time has been spent at clinical sites around the state doing everything and anything but mostly making a whole lots of beds and cleaning a whole lot of shit. sadly when people hear the word students they pucker up tighter and a blocked old lady
hence i am now scrambling to get everything done in time for both schools with my biggest worry being my EMT I semester simply because of the little amount of time i have left
hopeful it will not be a year before i post again but who knows
heading to utah soon to work as a back packing instructor more on that later
all of you out there send good vibes pratical and wirtten exam comeing up and my tester is a hard ass just becuase she used to work for unity ambulance dosent mean i get a break, it just means she is more bitter !
