getting a mentor lined up

I managed to sneak over to the School of Nursing and leave a note for one of my potential PSPR mentors. About a month ago I approached her about training the nursing students to use triage tags, and she seemed enthusiastic; it was after that conversation that it occurred to me that I might be able to parlay the training into my PSPR requirement. I hope to sit down with her soon, and see if she is agreeable to it.

I also tracked down the nurse who ran the student extern program I completed before I went for my clinical boards. She was orienting a fresh batch of student nurse externs and invited me in to introduce myself and explain my quest for world domination to them. Naturally, I got a job about ninety seconds into it, but I ran into her again later on, when I was humping equipment back from biomed. Anyway, it was great to finally catch up with her again, not only because she's cool as hell, but because she might be even more willing to perform the mentor role for the PSPR -- if I could tie it into this summer's extern program, I might be able to sew the whole thing up by Labor Day. That would rock. Plus, the nurse externs now have a good idea of the basic job description of a paramedic. . . lug heavy crap around and get your errands interrupted by MICCOM. . .
