Hey guys, before i get into whats going on with me i want to say thanks for having me and reading this post any suggestions are highly appreciated!
So to date I have been working as an EMT-B for10 months in the IFT world, at first i was more than willing to do IFT i got a chance to learn how to operate the stretcher, interview patients, do in field assessments, write PCR's, radio ops, truck checking, use of all the equipment for my service, and started trying to build my index of what could be wrong Dx'ing the patient. Now im extremely board of my job, dread coming to work, and some days really dont want to be at work.
The company that i work for is an IFT and 911 service, they dont just let anyone go work the 911 side you have to prove that you can handle it by taking a test on protocols and a scenario. The way that you get to said test is by "riding out." I have rode out one time since i have been with my company and they pulled me from testing stating i didn't have enough experience, even though while riding out i maxed out all the requirements. I even got a ****ing code save with a medic and handed him everything he asked for, no **** ups at all.
I have tried to rekindle my fire for the IFT side, post them pulling me from testing and it all just feels like a waste of my time, im not utilizing any of my skills, most of the patients i am moving around are having issues that there is no way i can Dx in the field. I try to run my self through scenarios utilizing the patient info in there packets about how they presented asking how i would treat them, but even that is mind numbing. My bosses tell me that i am one of the prime candidates for the next release testing that has no ETA of when it will happen, and am getting fed up.
What is your opinion? what should i do?
*note*
there is a rural 911 service an hour from were i live or a large metro 2 hours from where i live
