Hello all. It has been a few months since I have posted here, but some of you may remember me. So I started my EMT-B course back in February and it is coming towards the end. We are at the point where we can start getting our patient contacts signed off and begin precepting. I also was accepted with the volunteer rescue squad I wanted to join back in February and I just got accepted into the fire side.
This particular station I am stationed at is consisted of mainly volunteers as well as 4 career members at all times. I really enjoy going to all of the shifts (there are 3 in total, A, B, and C) but as with pretty much everything in EMS, I have noticed there is a learning curve as to what the certain medics on each shift prefer and how they like things done. As a new provider and student, I don't have the experience to know how things should operate and how to read other providers signals.
It isn't that bad, it is just after running with a certain shift I get used to how they like to have things done, and then when I go with another shift I will sometimes find the AIC of that shift getting frustrated with me because I didn't do something the way they like it to be done. I am not at all questioning there knowledge, what I am wondering is as a new provider, how can I shape myself as a provider and learn all the individuals pet peeves and standards.
Obviously with time, I will be able to learn, it is I just really don't like making the medics frustrated. I know not to take it personally, and trust me I don't. I know it is all in the best interest of the patient.
