I would agree with doing he pro's and con's list. Ask yourself what's really important to you... school? Being close to home? Which is more important? If you are already in school, is it really worth it to drop out? If it were me and I had the means to work where they would work around my school...
Do you think someone can be too caring?
I don't think someone can be too caring, I think people can care so deeply that EMS would be detremental to their mental well-being if they are unable to properly cope.
Good luck to those who end up in his care. I think sometimes the universe has ways of taking care of the problems we people do not. If he is not meant to be an EMT surely something will (eventually) take him elsewhere. I hope he does not hurt too many people in the meantime. How do you like...
Not to sound judgemental, but I don't think he will make it very far. It's a stressful job both physically and mentally. It's sad that people go into healthcare without really caring about the people they are there to help. I hope he either changes his mindset or realizes it isn't the job for...
I love helping people for one. Also, I get bored easily, so I need a career that is both interesting and fulfilling. Plus, let's face it, we all need money to live and I have a 17 month old daughter.
Hmmmm
Studying for my first emt-b exam. I was looking online as some real life trauma pictures... I find them facinating but my poor boyfriend almost turned green lol. I am excited even though I know I have an awful lot to learn in the next 3 months.:wacko:
