Hello everybody!
I just wanted to let you all know of my story to see if anyone has some advice for me to use.
I finished my EMT school over a year ago. I passed with flying colors and also passed my NREMT test the first try. I loved school and did very well. About a month after finishing school I was diagnosed with a very rare blood disease. Its called ITP. Its a disease that causes my body to kill my platelets. (It's cool bieng on here and not having to explain what platelets are ) I was hospitilized for a while and have been undergoing treatments ever since from Infusions, steroids, and even Chemotherapy. It has been a very hard endevour but Its finally starting to look up! My platelet count has been at a normal range for a while now so I have gotten back into the job search. I got all of my certs taken care of except for my ambulance drivers license. But I have an appointment for that in a couple weeks. I have been trying really hard to go back through my book and brush up on all the things I learned. I'm just having some trouble getting through it. I don't have any of my skills papers any more or my study guides. I have been going through reading my book but I'm just not remembering things like I should be. I know if I had some different ways to go over it and study it would help so much!!!
So if you have some useful ways to go over things just to remember it a little better that would be so amazing!!! I'm just so nervous to go get a job when I can't remember everything I have learned. I don't want to be the annoying EMT people are going to have to work with that doesn't remember anything :blush:
If you have anything that you think will help I will appreciate it so much!!
Thanks guys!!!! :wub:
