First night of internship extension went excellent! Hopefully only 5 more total nights to gop

Got my first "authorized" live IV stick the other day, 20-GA in the Rt hand. First try.
It was my second live stick other than the one i did in basic school on one of the medic students when we were bored and hit that too (but shhh i didnt say that)

 

[StreetPharmacist]

any good supplement reading for pharmacology?

 

[mikeN]

brady volume 1, chapter 9

 

[StreetPharmacist]

need a better description of the book please?

 

[Dominion]

need a better description of the book please?

I would assume it's the pharmacology chapter of the brady paramedic book.

 

[squrt29batt12]

We're not using Brady, we have AAOS Nancy Caroline's Emergency Care in the Streets as well as the AAOS Anatomy and Physiology for the Paramedic book.

 

[StreetPharmacist]

We are using the Nancy Coraline book also. Side note off school today pharmacology exam in the am! :wacko:

 

[Dominion]

I would have liked the Brady books because of the volume system, but we use Mosby with the Brady A&P book. We have had about 6 different books for the class since it started though.

The other reason I like the brady is you can get the brady study guide and in the answer key it has the chapter, page number, and volume you can find the answer to the question so you can read about why you missed it, or why you got it right.

After our cardiology exam last night, we dropped 3 more people, and another 3-4 are on the verge of being dropped. Ouch.



We were assigned a certain section of the endocrine system that we have to present on Saturday at class... and low and behold I got DKA. Great...

 

[Dominion]

DKA is fun, are you including HHNK in the presentation or is that a different topic?

How many did you start with?

 

[Shishkabob]

Naw, someone else got HHNK, which takes away half my 'fun' <_<


Started with 23.

By the time we got to cardiology we were down to less than 10. Then our instructor told us "Pass ACLS or you are no longer in the class". All of us but one passed, he was gone. Then another guy got kicked for breaking a rule. Now it's just 5 of us, we took all but 4 of our practicals today and have our final exam next monday for class. Woohoo almost done with class.

The Medic class in front of us graduated last Friday. Out of the 13 that took their NR so far, 11 of them passed first try.

Can't wait.
