I know this forum is supposed to be supportive and informative, and in many cases it is... but I am almost done with my medic class and getting ready to take my national registry...but i've just been reading through alot of the threads and it makes me mad when i see medics and basics calling people noobs, and giving people a hard time for not knowing what some stuff means... Acting like they were NEVER in that postion, and acting as if they were born the Gods of EMS... if you don't have a constructive comment to say without being rude don't say it...every medic treats there pt's different in some way and every service has different protocols... so don't act like like you know everything... chances are you've done some pt's more harm than good... It's all about experience and your time on the box, Just saying... self confidence is a huge part of the job and is needed to be a good medical provider... but cockiness is what gives this profession a bad name and makes us look like self centered A**holes, just remember where you once were when you began this career before you make smart A** remarks

Like!
Sorry OP, you aren't in a profession where we care about your self esteem and coddle your feelings. If you can't handle the forum, then how are you going to handle it off line?
You're going into EMS, not basket weaving.

PS, I love when new people try to lecture actual providers about how to be in EMS, what you should be doing, and just generally trying to shame us. It's so funny
And for someone who is preaching about not being rude, you sure should follow your own advice!

Funny, I searched for the term "noob" and checked out the first 10 instances of it's use in posts... and every single time it was used was by someone calling themselves a noob... and usually it was the OP saying they were one themselves.
This forum is pretty well behaved, especially when compared to other online forums. Don't worry, if someone steps out of line, some mods are more than ready to hand out punishments... speaking from first hand experience here
Having said that, why is this in the ALS Discussion section?

Mine is encircled in gold
As for the OP, like Sasha said, this is EMS, not basket weaving. People in EMS are mean sometimes, it's just a fact, if you can't handle a bunch of anonymous people online telling you what we think, then how will you deal with an FTO jumping down your throat?
Ya know what makes me mad? People who can't actually type out a proper paragraph, especially someone who's supposedly finishing up medic school.
