Hi everyone. I have been visiting here for a bit (while I was in class) and finally joined. Just passed my EMT-B state test in August. I did well in class, well on my ride-alongs(we only had 2), and well on my exam. I recently joined
a local service as a volunteer for the experience and with the hope of getting on full-time in the future. So far everyone is great and seems like an awesome work environment. But last week I get this HUGE binder of standing orders, protocols, procedures, etc, and to say the least, I am a little overwhelmed. Keeping up with info from class is difficult when you arent exposed to it every day. Not a big deal, as I am determined to knuckle down and study hard. I was just curious if others felt the same when they started and how things went for them. I have wanted to be in the field for years, so I finally got off my butt to do it, and here i am. Thanks...
