I took a EMT-A(basic) class when I was a senior in H.S. My first job was a full-time EMT after I graduated. Then became a Paramedic. Went to nursing school after 5 yrs of figuring out I wanted more knowledge base to go with the responsibility. Got a diploma in Nursing when there was still such a thing. Did 1 yr in a CCU in Cedar Rapids, because I couldn't get a ER job as a new grad. Then went to ER. Have 18 yrs in as RN now. Working at the U of Iowa in their level 1 Trauma Center.
Hunting and fishing is a great stress relief from this type of work. I really don't care if I whack anymore critters. Just like to get out in the peace and quiet of the outdoors. It is a blast to get those gobblers fired up with some calling.
Greetings, any of you guys like to chase turkeys in the spring? The turkeys here in Iowa are starting to strut and gooble in the am. Season starts April 11th. Getting the itch to catch some crappies too.Joe RN

Hey Joe, my sister-in-law lives outside of Iowa City, and she's decided to pursue nursing at UofI. What are your opinions of the nursing school, the trauma center, and nursing in general in that town? I live in Seattle, and know that there are regional variations.

** ps. sorry to disregard the fishing thing. i used to fish with my dad & loved it, but haven't done it in years. it's a good way to relax & get outside.
