freefalle 0 #8 December 1, 2009 be smart, ask questions, and dont assume you know what you are doing. I'm assuming you are going to have to go through an FTO or a clearing process. Listen to everything and never uttter the response "yea I know" to the medic that is clearing you. Ask your patients questions even if someone already told you the answer, patients stories and conditions change quickly. Treat your patient, not your monitor. treat all your patients like the have hep or hiv, because its the ones you think don't that do. Be nice to stupid nurses, most of them have no clue what its like to think on the street. Good luck You'll be okay, just don't do anytihing stupid. Chuck Bryan EMT-RN.

Akita 0 #21 December 1, 2009 The same thing you do skydiving: Keep your shit together. Do what needs to be done when it needs to be done. Remember that a good plan now beats the crap out of an excellent plan too late. Puke, cry, scream, rant, whatever it takes to unload the pressure AFTER the call .. but do it. Not unloading leads to burnout. Oh yeah .. smile Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
