Day 115, 116 & 117 - A Stick and the LAST Classroom Week

Day 115 - With Friday came another skills session. This time, we all had to catch a fire hydrant....(this meant another ride on a fire truck). I went on the first truck and had no problem with the hydrant. We did a few other activities for the camera (running the tower, flipping over a car, another car fire, and a few other things).

After a Krystal Lunch we did skills, scheduled our ambulance clinicals, and I got a second IV stick. Shaking and all, I easily got the vein.

Day 116 - Monday...the start of the last week of classroom. We took our final test, and we all did well. A positive note, no one failed a test. We went the entire academy, and no one failed a weekly test. We are the 1st academy to accomplish that!!!

We had lecture in the morning and skills in the afternoon. A few folks in the class had to retake a Haz-mat test...and were ready to do so...but had it canceled at the last moment...

Day 117 - Not a ton to report. Lecture in the morning, skills in the afternoon. We had Ralph and he had us carrying weights over our heads, doing pushups on basketballs, and dragging weights with our feet...

Tomorrow...dress outs
