Well, after the second day of training...here is a small sample of what we have been doing.
1. Signing over 40 pieces of paper. (Yes, I realize that the nature of this job eliminates the possibility of meal breaks, yes you can do a background check on me, this is exactly how I want my name to appear on my ID card...etc, etc.)
2. Watching over 25 people get tested for TB in about 30 minutes. (Roll up your sleeve, have you ever tested positive for TB?...Ok, ...next...)
3. Learning how to exercise in such a way that you will prevent breaking your back on the job.
4. Learning how to be nice to patients and everyone else. (Does anyone here know the Golden Rule?)
5. Getting fingerprinted for the second time in less than a month. (Know I have not taken up a career as a criminal, its just part of getting the job..."your thumb again please...")
6. Being the minority. (Guy-Girl ratio: 25/2)
7. Freezing inside the classroom.
8. Watching a freaky video of a car slamming into a parked ambulance. ("Class...always be aware of your surroundings.")
9. Wondering exactly how many certification cards I have to have to work this job...(Is 7 enough...or do I need more? Do I have to get another LiveScan? When do I have to have this by?)
10. Driving in traffic.
Really, this is the fun part! I am so excited to be here in this training. To tell you the truth, sometimes I have a hard time believing that I really have this job! God is SO GOOD! Last summer I worked my last shift at the volunteer company I was working for...and wondered if I would ever have the opportunity to get in a rig again as a provider...well, it would appear that God has given me another opportunity!
Because of Christ Alone, Liz

Praying for you, dear sister!
Love,

P.S. I've had a little med training of my own these past couple days...My roomie has a hair-line fracture and is on crutches. So fun to serve her in a new way!
Liz,
Wow - last night I watched the very first episode of Scrubs...which kind of put your post into an interesting context!
Re: point 4 - I'm curious. So what is the "Golden Rule"?
In Christ,
Steve.
