Hi everyone, you may remember me if you read my post “Am I getting fired” a few weeks ago. Since I was indeed asked to resign from my position at AMR Santa Barbara, I’m now looking to possibly relocate so I can continue pursuing 911. Somewhere in the east bay would be awesome since I have a lead...

Yes at some point. This is the first semester of my year off school and I had this whole vision of how it would coincide perfectly with work and I’d be able to devote all my attention to my job.

Sorry I didn’t phrase that very well. What I mean is that PA is a plan for many years in the future when I’ll need some more cash for a family and my back is giving out. Right now I just really really want to work on an ambulance. PA for me is less of a goal and more of an answer to future...

I don’t think Texas is for me haha but thank you for the tip anyways. Long term I’m looking to go to PA school. Flight would be awesome too but I know how competitive that is.

Yeah I did IFT for about 6 months before this.... I can probably get my old job back but I don’t know how much it’s going to help me to put in another 6 months. I’m considering just working there once every two weeks or so just so I can have it on my resume, and trying for a full time job here...

Thank you everyone for the advice and support. I just met with management and they are indeed letting me go. They allowed me to resign instead of being fired and encouraged me to get even more experience and reapply in six months.They were both very kind and seemed to genuinely want me to try...

So the latest update is: they’re having me come in to meet with the Clinical Edication Manager on Thursday. So I guess I’m... cautiously optimistic? I’m really hoping they’re leaning more towards the option of trying to address the problems and help me correct them before firing me. I plan to...

You’re completely right. And if I’m fired I will absolutely continue to chase this no matter what it takes because at the end of the day, this is the only career I want. I’ve already begun to look into other jobs. One thing that does worry me however is that this company staffs most of...

Unfortunately I’m going to have to move if I am indeed fired. The company I’m employed with is the sole EMS provider in my county and those surrounding me.. I just finished a six month stint commuting an hour and forty minutes to an IFT job to prepare for 911.

Yes I definitely have problems with getting nervous but it’s because I’ve been so afraid of making mistakes and getting reprimanded... not because the actual medicine and responsibilities make me nervous. Does that make sense? And I completely understand why coming in hot to a red light is...

With finding routes I think the problem is that my knowledge of the city wasn’t strong enough to pick out the best route to take, so she isn’t confident in my abilities without her. And with the 12 lead as well as other mistakes, it was an issue of having seen it done multiple times and still...

I’m nineteen, but certified immediately after my 18th birthday, so this isn’t a new field for me. I hold myself to the same standard as everyone else and I know my FTO does too... if anything, I should be ahead of other trainees because I have six months of IFT experience that preceded this job.

Thank you for taking the time to write all of that out. That’s really great advice and I like what you said about implementing a daily routine. Hopefully they give me another chance to put your advice to use because I really do want this.

I don’t remember her exact wording, but when I was taken back to station today I asked her outright if I was getting fired and she said something along the lines of “that will be up to CES.” :(
