I got my EMT-B & NREMT last year and have spent 9 months with a low volume VFD, working 12p to 12a every 5th night. So far it's been nearly all medic assist (vitals, 12 lead & occasionally an IV setup). Only twice in those 9 months has a medic backed off a call and declared it BLS, both those were SORs. So at this point I've not had a single BLS transport where I was in charge of patient care or even assessment.
I did well in EMT school and had no problem with my skills tests or my NREMT exam. Now I feel like I'm loosing everything I learned as time goes on.
I sit in monthly on my departments audit & review training and another monthly EMS training but I don't feel like it's enough to keep fresh.
Can anyone who's been in this boat give some advice? Right now I've just taken to studying my EMT textbook every morning with my breakfast. I think I need to work in even more than that and am wondering if any of you reccomend any particular study guides or areas of focus in a situation like this?
