So I've gone on a couple of calls in the unit by myself. Usually someone else will show up shortly after but I am still freaking out going it alone.
I know I know what I'm doing because I passed the tests but good lord... I feel like a bumbling idiot. I feel like I'm rushing through...
Right now I am currently volunteering with a local QRU. They have a minimum of doing 24 hours a month to be with them. I have done that plus more for the month, but can only do once a week due to my husbands schedule, the kids, and the fact that I don't live in the city where I volunteer...
And I am so freaking nervous! I will be with a volunteer QRU and feel really intimidated. Not so much from the people (well, maybe a little) but mostly that I feel like I know absolutely nothing yet. I feel really weak at vitals and just feel like my memory of all of the things I have learned...
I'm talking things like working at urgent cares, er's, etc. I think the 'I just got my EMT-B cert' isn't cutting it.
BTW, I live in an area where if you aren't a FF then you can't be an EMT in the city. Yet I don't live in the counties where they are hiring/taking EMT volunteers... Urgh
