Today we worked on backboarding in EMT class. I now know how to put a patient onto a backboard to maintain c-spine. It was a lot of fun learning this skill. We have a great bunch of students and instructors.
I'm wondering if working outside with the backboarding is what's now making me so sleepy. Still, no time for napping, I got stuff to do, and a quiz to study for!
The last few weeks of class have been busy. I know lots more, and I've been through a bit of ups and downs. Two weeks ago I went through about two days of depression due to both class and home issues, but then my meds kicked back in (and rational thinking took over) and I was back to myself again.
I'm having a hard time figuring out how I'm going to move on August 1st. I have money for a security deposit, but not the first month's rent. And beginning EMTs only make a little above minimum wage, so I may be tight for the first six months. May have to consider postponing a semester or two to work two jobs, but I'm thinking I'm going to try a fundraising website first. I figure it can't hurt and might help, so why not?
Anyway, got my assignment for my ride-along for EMT class. Looking forward to it! Won't be able to give any specifics due to HIPAA, but I anticipate being able to tell if I liked it (which I think I will). So we'll see in the coming weeks...
