Hello My name is Corey and I'll be turning 18 on the 28th. The only thing I want to do to celebrate the special day is to go out and do an Ambulance Ride Along. I live in Louisiana.
Except for the fact i'm not 18 yet so I can't actually file the paperwork. I am a Certified Emergency Medical Responder (first responder.) I have passed all my written test and practicals. I am CPR certified.
My Question Is:
So I'll be doing my first ambulance ride-along within the next week or so. I am wanting to hear what to expect. What i should do before, during, after my shift. Will i get to actually do anything other than watch. I'm not exactly experience and I don't want to get in the way.
I'm just want to make a good impression. I'm working towards becoming a Paramedic and this is a good first step to get hands on. So anything that y'all can tell me will be greatly apprecaited/
