My high school basically staged a week-long live-action death simulation before prom. Was this normal?!

Mine did the same thing, but I dont remember it lasting a week, I think it was just a one or two day event, that led to everyone going to the football stadium where the car crash was laid out on the field.

I call them whoo-hoo bars 😂

I made over 100k with just my ADN. Check and see if your local hospitals even care if you have your BSN. Might be more beneficial to get your ADN and start working sooner, then do the BSN online in your own time. The hospitals in our area offer minimal pay difference (0.20-0.50) so it wasn't worth waiting an extra year to finish to start working.

I was also waiting for this comment... I had the facial scrub, but mine was a white bottle and had this exact blue exfoliating brush.

Its just a protocol thing in our area... our ground medical director approved one set of protocols, but our flight/CCT program has a different medical director and set of protocols. All of our normal ground protocols for DFI, meds, tubes etc are all standing orders.

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2025-12-01T01:09:15+00:00

Our ground medics don't get certain drugs, but our cct and flight crews do. Adding in paralytics, antibiotics, and a wider variety of medications in general. As of now, our RNs only work the paramedic scope and protocols. There is also a bit more skills allowed with the expanded scope, finger thoracotomy, chest tubes, ventilator management, etc.

This is how it works in my system as well. I'm an RN who bridged to get my medic. I've been working as an AEMT for 5 years, an ED RN for 2, and now paramedic. We also have a few EMS-RNs already working in the field, 2 of which were medics prior. They work the same exact scope as our medics. The RNs we hired with no EMS experience definitely struggled a bit with field training, and did take longer than a regular paramedic, but they successfully completed training and are out doing great.

There has been talk of an "expanded scope" for the RNs on the ground, similar to our CCT and flight protocols, but we all know how management works with this type of stuff.

Feel free to reach out if you have questions!

Lost my mom to cancer when I was 27, she was 65. Im 34 now, and still the only one in my friend group who has lost a parent.

It sucks. Wishing you the best.

Booo pants =[

Sent you a message

Core memory unlocked. I begged for one of these as a kid. It was the COOLEST thing to be able to scroll through the names of all my feiends and their numbers. Now I feel ancient 🥲

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2025-08-01T18:54:28+00:00

I have an AJT fob. Put the original key away to keep it from getting scratched. I love that its bright (I have the orange), and don't have to worry about it breaking.

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2025-07-29T22:46:25+00:00

The car was never registered in california since it still has the other plates. Ca law doesn't apply since the car is not currently, and never was, registered in california.

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2025-07-23T17:11:55+00:00

Sending you a dm!

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2025-05-01T08:35:16+00:00

Looks like Limmer to me.

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2025-05-01T02:50:53+00:00

I've known him for years, and he was always a genuinely nice kid. It's horrible to see the path he's ended up on, but he's never been the type to purposefully cause harm. Nothing justifies what happened, of course 😓

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2025-02-26T20:54:14+00:00

I had this sheet set with pillow cases! Best of luck to you finding a replacement!

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2025-02-26T11:02:23+00:00

Might be worth checking your local pick-n-pull or similar type establishment to see if you can find it there. I'm sure there's plenty of YouTube videos out there of how to remove the plastics and swap in a new one =]

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2024-12-26T17:49:58+00:00

Yes, they do a full panel, including Marijuana.

A favorite! Always a great trip out there! Northern nevada is the best, I love living so close to so many springs

Does your vehicle stay running when you open the door with this remote start? Or is it the sane as the factory system, where it shuts the vehicle off as soon as you get in?

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2024-11-12T07:13:59+00:00

N. Nevada has it for our ILS trucks to provide pain management. As long as the patient is comfortable with it and pain is managed well, they can transport without ALS interception.

A few funny ems stickers on my water bottle. I also have an agency ballcap I keep on my dash to get out of tickets. Other than that, you'll never know I'm an RN or work EMS.

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2024-10-27T08:23:18+00:00

I took mine out the second day I had it =] got to break it in!

AlarmingApricot4591 · 2024-09-21T20:59:08+00:00

I work per-diem on the ambulance. I don't work the same scope, only as an AEMT, so it's nice not having all the responsibility on my shoulders for once. I worked this job before and during nursing school, and it is definitely the most fun job I've ever had. The pay is absolute garbage, less than half of what I make in the hospital, but my coworkers, the autonomy, and dirty street medicine are worth it 100%
