ACLS
Advanced Cardiac Life Support... I'm studying a bunch of squiggly lines trying to figure out what kind of heart rhythm each squiggly represents. The test is Monday (written and practical); I have to know a bunch of squiggly algorithms after recognizing the squiggly heart rhythm, and which drugs to treat the squiggly with. It's a lot of info for one week. Really it's squiggly that we only have a week, but as always we'll get it together by Monday. Then I'll be on to Combat Trauma Mgmt, Pediatric Life Support, and then finally Rotations at a Metro Hospital, hopefully Tampa, FL.
Squiggly, squiggly. I've been dreaming of squigglies all weekend. Squiggly.

Why do I feel a sudden urge to watch the Smurfs?
Well, it sounds like you're doing a smurfy job, there. Keep up the smurf work! Have smurfy dreams!
oh those sqiggly lines will get you- but with what we have seen so far - you will do great! Study hard - good luck!
air force wife-
The Smurfs? Those little blue guys? I almost forgot they once were.
momma of 2-
as for studying hard... yes, I am but squiggly lines start to give you kaleidoscope vision after a while. who needs those things when we have EKG's!
I should add don't forget to to a break - (can you have a beer or two? or would you get in trouble with the big guys?) once in a while,there comes a point, where if you don't know it by now, you are never going to know it!
don't worry... i always set aside some time for fine tobacco, spirits, and conversations about God with the fellas. always an interesting discussion. ;-)
Oh man I always dream about whatever I was working on or reading before bed. It's great when reading for pleasure but not if it's work related. Good luck on the test.
Hey Pamela, speaking of reading... how do you like "The Gates of Fire"? I've told a couple of my girl friends, or female friends, (gosh we need a word for plutonic female friends) you know what I mean- to read it. it seems like a typical soldier book, but the female characters are so strong that i also thought that girls would really love it as well, despite all the gore and testosterone laden madness throughout.
Actually I like it *because* of all the gore and testosterone! The book is incredible. It's almost double in size because I have dog-eared so many passages about the warrior ethos, dealing with fear, etc. I doubt I will be able to get my head around it in just one sitting, definitely something to read more than once.
Squiggly... I'm just glad you've got the proper terminology down. ;)
Good luck! You'll do great. Don't sweat it too much.
Greetings !!
Hope time permits you to keep up the posting. Good Luck!!
Take care, Hooah!!
