Is it normal that the closer you are to becoming a Paramedic the more

So I'm done. Now to figure out a day to test. Probably will do written first since I'm a terrible written test taker.

Just as a learning tool, I've been teaching my kids the basics of being a basic. As I spout off the textbook words, I find that they become ingrained more every time I do it.
 
Once you become a Paramedic and get released on your own you definitely start to doubt your abilities and question if your ready or not because now its all you. No more preceptors. If your lucky it may not be as bad if you get to work with another Paramedic. Or if your in my case, you get to work in a rural county where there are only two ALS units staffed with one Paramedic each. So that pretty much leaves out calling for a Paramedic supervisor, duty officer, etc. because there isn't one! The patient's care is all on you.

There is some positive though. Those feelings motivate you to learn more through reading and researching. I think I read and research more know then I did as a student because I know its all me when the tones go off and I want to ensure I am as ready as possible.
