So as of last Friday, I am no longer in EMS. I turned in the helmet, vest, and flight suit and exchanged them for a pair of jeans and a hard hat. Yesterday I started (or I guess technically returned to) my new career in health and safety. I fortunately get to retain my passion for teaching and will be focusing on OSHA, NUCA, and 1st aid / CPR training.
It's kind of surreal actually. I never anticipated leaving the field, but honestly, I haven't looked back and am actually stress free for the first time in a LONG time. Honestly, I thought I would have experienced some form of withdrawl. I don't know, maybe I'll miss it more tomorrow (or not.....).
With the change, I'll be around less than usual to allow me to focus on the new career. I'll probably pop in every now and then just to annoy someone, but wish everyone the best in their careers, wherever they may take you. Keep in touch!
