Greetings! I'm new here.
The title says it all: what can I expect for EMT-B ride along? I'm really stressing out very much about it because we just started class March 5th, and now we're already preparing to be thrown in the pit . Class is so intensive, we haven't even finished the book yet, and I literally don't feel ready nor comfortable enough :sad:. Each class, we go through 3-4 chapters of note slides and expected to absorb everything. So, I'm really freaking the F out :blink:. My dad was supposedly a well-known/respected member in the community (as EMT and a Firefighter), so, I feel even greater stress and pressure of basically having big shoes to fill (he died when I was two).
Anyway, for the ride alongs, we have to have at least 10 PT touches. So that probably means I will take vital signs/BP. Besides that, will I mainly be observing or what? I will talk to my instructor about this, but really want to hear from you guys since she's easily irked over questions and concerns like mine, and isn't very informative :unsure:
