RIP Old Blog Posts

I'm really bummed. I realized the other day that I no longer have the first few years of my blog that included my volunteer days and my entire academy. It was amusing (for me anyway) to look back on what I was doing "this time six years ago". Our class motto was "If you don't pass this you're going to get fired". Fun, fun. It also was an eye-opener for those who think that the volunteers here get the same training as the paid people. Oh holy jebus, no. I wouldn't have have eight months of STRESS and TERROR if that were true. They also don't boil down ALS training, which should take two years, into one. That means going to class all day, every day, while being scrutinized and yelled at. I'm sorry, cardiology isn't stressful enough??

I was lucky to get hired for this job, damn lucky to have survived training, and by god, LUCKY to get to work at this job!
