almost internship time

We turned in our choices for internship the other night in class.  Our instructors match us for internship based on GPA, with the top person getting their first pick and then down the line.  With 15 people and 7 locations nearly everybody is getting their first pick. 

I put in for the 2 closest spots so I can still sleep in my own bed every night (plus, it's nice knowing the town).  During my ride-alongs I hated not knowing where I was in relation to the hospital since it affects the load n go vs stay and play decision.  Also, being stationed in a rig that moves around stinks if you're in the back -- you never know where you are, where you're going, and you aren't part of the conversations that go on between partners.

Lately everyone in class has been in clinicals at the hospital all the time so the stories we share with each other have been great.

I wish I'd recorded more of what happened in class and on clinicals, especially after listening to Ron Davis and Kelly Grayson over at emsnewbie.com and their weekly podcast.
