It has been a long time since I have posted. Since then I have changed jobs within the same service. I am now the education coordinator for Pope County EMS. In this new position I am responsible for preparing and presented continuing education classes and training, refresher courses and other certification classes for our employees. I also order some of the supplies, as well as keeping protocols up to date. When necessary I will also work some on the truck if needed.

This is a big change for me. I miss patient care everyday, but it is also a great opportunity to help other personnel provide great care. I have had to renew AHA BLS, ACLS, EMT instructor status. I am in the process of acquiring theses certifications. So far I have been happy with the change.

Oh and I am now working Monday through Friday, just like a regular person. Wow what a change after almost 20 years of 24 on, 48 off shift work. It's actually the hardest part of the change. At 52 y/o it is nice to sleep in my own bed every night.

If any of you have any helpful hints, let me know. I appreciate any help and prayers.
