Here goes my general non-sense ranting again lol.
So, I'm sure some of you might remember little ole me getting my EMT-B license last year (around $800+ total in the end); primarly because I was on the fire department and only had one or two EMTs and we were in a rural community, plus I was thinking about getting a job as an EMT at another fairly local EMS provider in a larger town near by... as the EMT course ended the fire department started to fall down hill (no one showed up, no one helped, long story) so I decided to just give up on the FD and stop showing up as much (I was addicted [crazy - yeah], I was at the station every day all day always doing something.
So, long story short I got my EMT-B license and here I am today -- haven't had my first "real" patient contact as an EMT, I'm pretty sure I have forgotten a LOT of the things I knew, and need to know to be an EMT... and now I'm always thinking in my head "gosh I hope that car in front of me doesn't have a wreck..." because [a] I'm still licensed as an EMT, but I no longer feel confident in my ability to perform what's expected of me, and I just dont want anyone to get hurt, period.
Not really sure why I posted this, not really expecting a reply (because there isn't really anything I'm expecting to hear, or anything that can be replied to :S)... but anyway, that's my ranting for the day (if you even call that ranting).
