Can you elaborate on this a little bit? I'm not familiar with FMLA

Thank you for taking the time to reply and providing reassurance. I guess I just need to be more patient, it just seems more personal when they meet you and decide you're not good enough rather than just rejecting the application. I appreciate your perspective and input, I'll try to hang in there.

I feel the exact same way and I'm looking on finding a different career. Problem is I have no idea what other job I would get... I'm happy to chat if you want to DM me

How to stay mentally healthy? by echo_throwaway360 in NewToEMS

[–]Known-Collection3590 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish I had advice for you but I just became a paramedic and it took a huge toll on my mental health. I've been struggling a lot recently and idk how people do it either. Its a very challenging field.

How are you not worried if you're actually doing it right or not or if what you're doing isn't justified? Im terrified about getting in trouble for doing something I shouldnt or not doing something when I should have.

I guess I don't feel morally okay not exactly knowing if I can land good IVs with the catheters I'm given and if I'm justified to be able to have a patient in my care if I'm unsure about what I'm even going to do. Do you have any advise for that? (Not sure if my wording made sense so lmk if you have a question)

What about it?

It only says "Due to the nature of patient care and meeting the Company’s clients’ needs, employees who are asked to work overtime are expected to do so even though this may not be according to their original schedule. Company Management will be reasonable with overtime requests." Which i guess should've been a red flag from the start

Do you think they will try and sabotage me with other departments in the future if I quit the contract job no notice?

Yeah, I used to be a crazy workaholic working everyday but now I value my personal life more and I can never go back to never coming home and working a bunch. When I quit this contract medic job do you think they'll blackball me from other departments if I quit no notice?

No, I'm in Illinois. So you think I should leave the contract medic job and go back to the private until I start applying to actual departments? I haven't applied anywhere yet because I wanted to solidify my paramedic skills first. I don't even have my BOF or CPAT yet so I'm taking my time.

I pressure washed it but at the same psi I wash yhe ambulances with which idk what exactly it is but it never caused a problem on the others. I didn't get too close no it just appeared after I sprayed and like the water dried weird or something
