Her teacher at friends and family day yesterday, and she told me many of the students are just trying to survive and are lucky to pull a C in this intense class. Quincy worked SO hard this semester. I’m so proud of her dedication and determination.
Her final task was to have 30 successful needle sticks. She called on family and friends to stop by the Ignite building and lined us up to stick us. Her instructor sent me these pics. She told me she is so impressed with Quincy and that her attention to policy and safety details and her patient bedside manner are a blessing.
Big shout out to great friends who came through and were willing to trust Quincy to put a needle in their arm (and maybe a few of them possibly just wanted to look tough and heckle her a bit, but either way, she passed!). She did an excellent job and I’m happy to report I have no bruise on my arm. Corbin’s face was. Just for dramatic effect, haha!
Another fun thing Quincy did this week was volunteer as a “victim” for a firefighter/first responder active shooter and mass casualty training. She spent 5 hours with this fake leg injury and “dying” over and over again. After the training, the fire captain found her and handed her 5 bucks for a sonic drink to thank her for taking the exercise seriously. She said she loved it and can’t wait for her first ambulance shift next semester.
Way to go, Quincy! Next up, EMT!
