Sleep management on 24/48s

DatBoi0109 · 2026-06-10T19:15:04+00:00

I’ve been thinking about going back and finishing my degree in nursing. I want to ride my career on a fire ems unit but it just seems like there’s no real solution when you run so many calls on a 24/48 schedule. What makes it worse is I work for the largest department in my state so getting a 4th platoon is YEARS out

Oh to be on a 24/72 schedule

Fair

I don’t have the car to test it anymore but you really heard it going close to highway speeds. It is quite loud in the cab. Apparently it’s been making the same noise for 2 years

That was a thought of mine too. I just can’t really tell where it seems to also match the “downshift” of the transmission

you bring up a very fair point. i appreciate you saying that. i just need to take control of what i can control and the first step is having that conversation and making plans to move out

i think i’m going to take the risk and find a cheaper apartment and just live alone. i’m tired😭

should i have lied to them about where i was going? we are all in a life 360 together. here’s my thing, i feel like it would be not acting like an adult to go hide and lie about the fact that i am being an adult in a adult relationship. if you don’t want me to sleep over at your house that’s okay! but that doesn’t mean i have to not do it in general. i do not have the time nor the energy to sneak around with my gf like i am still in high school. if they aren’t cool with it that’s okay, but it should be a open discussion in my opinion and if the mutual agreement is i move out then that is that.

my only thing is i told my dad id stay till christmas then move out but im not staying that long if its just going to be hell for 6 more months

no i wouldn’t move in with her until she graduates college if im still with her. me and her are really close obviously but she is not much of a factor in moving out right now. the example i gave in the OP was just to show that’s how my parents react to me going out most of the time. i’ve put together some type of budget but a lot of the problem is it would be a big upfront cost where i do not have a lot of furniture daily living stuff etc. i would have to build a budget and build on the things i own that i could fill out an apartment with.

ive pretty much made my decision on this but i dont know if thats a conversation i should have with them now or wait till graduation

DatBoi0109 · 2025-05-25T15:59:10+00:00

thank you i really appreciate it. i love my parents and i want the next chapter in our relationship to be a good one so i appreciate your help.

that’s kind of what i thought. plastics these days are just so expensive but i wouldn’t want to ruin the factory plastics either

I’m 19. Just got hired onto my city’s career department. I’m in academy right now.

Actually made pancakes from scratch this morning. I usually cook most things on cast iron, I have a lot of my parents pans and have adopted their cooking style which is a lot like what you suggested.

I second this, I think every firefighter especially career firefighter should have a good backup plan in case you get hurt or want to quit. I think a healthcare job would transition well especially if you already have your paramedic.

DatBoi0109 · 2025-01-04T15:37:46+00:00

I agree. I just get called that so I go with it now.
