and give 1 piece of advice you would give to an EMT going into his first EMS job.



:usa:
 
21 and my best advice is to talk to your fellow EMT's. If you feel you can't talk to them then have a positive outlet for your stress and a way to get away from it all.
 
15 and since I've only been with my service for a little under a year I don't really have any advice........heck I need the advice.
 
27, and I'm a new EMT with my first job starting this month. I got nothing. I need advice :)
 
29...been a basic for two years so by no means am I an expert. However this is my advise....Always be willing to learn. Whether you've heard it before or not always be willing to listen both to your co-workers and bosses and more importantly...your patients. Reread anything you're not familiar with or have forgotten. And don't try to be a hero. This job is about teamwork. You succeed as a team. You fail as a team.

Good luck.

As a new EMT learn a lot more then you were taugh in school. Learn why you do things and not just "well I was to do this".
 
47 and my advice is dont ever think you have learned all there is to know

Breathe ..... The adrenalin rush you get going to calls/ on calls will eventually wear off. It is normal to be scared/ nervous/ anxious when you are new. It is normal to feel you are not ready or properly educated(because you aren't but that is a topic for another thread and not your fault). With time and experience you will build confidence and wonder why you were so nervous in the first place.

57, and still learning after 40 years... I reccomend you never stop learning also... oh and beer!
 
Beer is always good, shock top and Heineken with some wings ... ahwwwwwww............
 
I'll be 23 tomorrow.

When you feel overwhelmed, don't over analyze things and go back to the basics.

Always be kind.
 
I agree bigbaldguy, being nice makes the world a more positive place :thumbup:
 
Much older than I look I am told.

It is my reward for all the stuggles, because it sure as hell hasn't been the money.
