Honestly I think it would be more fun riding around as a paramedic than a nurse, i don't know. I have mad respect for you guys too! I'd love to feel the adrenaline of a crazy call. However, you guys have to deal with A LOT of death and horrific accidents where people are in their final minutes. I think this is the only reason i didn't pursue it. If you get a patient that survives the trip to the hospital more than likely he is going to have a chance. i can deal with death and horrific scenes, like the guy who came in after getting his leg and arm torn off from a tractor, but not on a repeated daily basis.. too much for me man. its too easy to get jaded about the significance of human life.

yup i want to be a surgical nurse or Emergency Room. and yeaaa. i was working a shift in the ER a few months back and EMS brought in a psych patient who was obviously off his meds and very violent. We actually got a Dr. order to restrain the patient both physical restraints and chemical restraints. This doesn't happen often because there are legal aspect of it ect.. He was more than willing to take the meds but even after he was sedated he fought tooth and nail when we put the "cuffs" on.

your hilarious.. bet you didn't know i grew up in a million dollar home, going to a 30k a year college on a full ride, and 2 semester away from a guaranteed 90k a year job as a new grad BSN nurse. You are slightly right, that i am poor now, but what college kid isn't. Im cool with that because what i am doing is investing. Your right i can't afford a pair of good tires, i just bought some Michelines 3 weeks ago. But with that aside, Ill have the funds to build your car multiple times in expendable cash next year. Lastly i have built cars that make yours look like tonka toys. My neighbors built 10 second hotrods and thats what i did for about 6 years. But since your like Ms. Cleo so i must be lying... In my experience, its the people who struggle financially that point fingers at people they don't know saying they can afford ****. Transparent as all hell...
my whole point was to quit being a **** to people who don't ask/deserve it. enjoy your crap sentra (with a roll cage ooooooo).
