I've been working as an EMT for awhile now, new to this forum, but fory first question I gotta ask... What's the best way to tell your family and friends that you just want to leave your work at work. I get woken up to texts and phone calls from them asking about their injuries/illnesses. I just really don't want to be mean, because I love that they trust me enough to ask, but its just so freaking annoying, but I don't have the heart to be mean.
They know what I do...

I used to get those darned questions all the time... and that was long before I became a nurse. I finally trained those around me (family, friends, etc) to stop asking me those questions as I'd generally refuse to answer those questions and would refer them to their usual Primary Care and/or point them toward an appropriate specialty.
