I am a few weeks into my EMT-B course. It's going well, but moving so quickly given that it's a summer course. I have been able to keep up with the knowledge and skill based instruction, but I don't feel prepared for the practical realities like finding work, how to get into an ems system in other regions, mainting a license (continuing ed) etc. We don't devote any class time to this, and I worry about what happens after the class is over.
Nevertheless, I really respect and enjoy my instructor. I invited him out to lunch next week, and he accepted. I thought it would be a good opportunity to learn a little more from a real veteran - he's been in EMS for more than 30 years. I'd appreciate any input on what to ask or what to avoid!
