All Work & No Play
Makes this week the week from hell...
I have my EMT practical skills exam this week for the state and I am so stressed out over it. I have to do 6 stations
Station 1 through 4 are as follows:
1. Trauma Assessment
2. Medical Assessment
3. Automatic External Defribulator
4. Bag Valve Mask
Now with stations 5 and 6 there isn't one set thing to do, you can be quizzed on any one of the following so for 5 it is a or b, and for 6 it is a through g.
5. a.Spine immobilization with a K.E.D
or
b. Spine Immobilization with a long board
6. a.Splinting a Leg or Arm
b. Splinting a Joint
c. Traction Splinting
d. Bleeding and shock control
e. Managing the Airway
f. Mouth to mask with O2
g. Administering O2
This is because they want to make your life a living hell!!!!
They cant just say here do this. No they have to play a game with your head and say ha-ha you have to do one of these.....cue evil laughter.
To add to my misery I have caught a horrible cold, I sat on my floor for an hour because I couldn't find the energy to get up. I felt like I was on fire and I was in and out of sleep all night. I am praying that I get over this but tomorrow, I really need to focus all my energy into my practicals!
