    I like the overnight shifts. You can see some amazing clients. Yes, we do get crazy people but there are some marvelous clients. We had some folks in two nights ago that had to put their old German Shepherd down. As they were leaving they noticed another client that was crying. She didn't have the money to fix the injury on her dog and it needed to be fixed or the dog needed to be put down. Despite their grieving for their loss, they went to the receptionist and told her to put the other gals bill on their credit card. There are some amazing people out there! It almost restores my faith in humanity. Almost. :smile:

    What's prescreening

    @MYMKLIFE It's basically a two page form where they ask you all the eligibility questions about laws you've broken and things that you've done recently. The only reason mine isn't turned in already is because I have to list all traffic violations from the last 7 years and despite my paying $12 for a certified copy of my driving record from DPS, a ticket that I KNOW was received for my vehicle in the city of Elgin, isn't on there and I should have the specifics of it at home. Once I get that on there, I'll send it off to the hiring sergeant and wait to hear back further for the written test and the physical test. Which I hope are done on Thursdays... :grimace:

    Side note: My coworker who has her husband in the hospital just got asked to make the decision about his life support. She's giving him another 24 hours for a miracle.
    That was at 2pm on the 2nd.

    Vomiting seems to be the theme of the night. Every patient so far. All for different reasons, but every one.

    They have me on DAY SHIFT today....because my coworker's husband died.

    I've applied for UT Austin Police Cadet position and my Lt. found out and has encouraged me to apply to ALL agencies and suffer through two years with whoever responds first and then I can work virtually anywhere in the state except for DPS(I'd have to go to their academy).
    So yeah....I don't WANT to leave now though because they have such a desperate need for people right now. Especially because DJ's husband died and Gerwick( :grumble: ) is out because of her back and damn near everyone and their mom wants to go on vacation. UGH!

    Day shift...yuck! Our leave book don't look bad yet but later in the summer, it's full of people taking time off. And I agree with your Lt. Apply everywhere!
