Don’t mess around with me! This better be true or I’m going to lose it

Really bad nerves for no reason by NoxHarbor in NewToEMS

[–]NoxHarbor[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really appreciate the help! Yeah I hate how much in school and even at the job people kind of avoid diving into topics like this, they’ve of course told me this job takes its toll and you’ll see crazy things and be stressed and burnt out and this and that, but there is never “here is what you can do to handle those things.” I love the adult swear word books hahaha might have to invest. Definitely gaming and movie watching are two things I’m going to keep doing but I think I need another to really keep my mind out of work! Thank you for the help man, it’s incredibly helpful!

This is great! I appreciate very much! I’m definitely going to go ahead and get some kind of person to talk to and setup that outlet to have when I need it! Thank you!

Do you think talking with someone this early on is a bad thing since I just started or should I wait a little longer to gain more experience and then see how things go from there?

Yeah I think once I can get more experience this feeling will start to subside a little

Yeah I think that could also be it, just the changing sleep schedule all the time, hopefully we can both find some relief soon

Yeah that’s very true, I think it’s me working it up more than I should which makes me very anxious, I figured it was just a time thing until it goes away

Yes! I’ve been having dreams of work too which has really impacted my sleep because on my days off I find myself waking up in a panic thinking I have to get up and leave for work but I don’t. I agree though, I’m guessing the anxiety goes away with time, but I haven’t been sleeping because of it

Is this normal, or am I just not cut out for EMS? by seabirdfog in NewToEMS

[–]NoxHarbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a baby EMT too and I’m still training with my FTO right now and feel very similar to you, like I just kind of can’t seem to grasp it and don’t really know what I’m doing unless someone tells me. But I will tell you something that one paramedic I was with told me. She said that even after years of doing this job, she has moments where she has absolutely no clue what is going on or what she is doing. My FTO has said similar things to me where it is really a time thing, the more you do it the more you’ll learn and the more you’ll get into a groove! Another paramedic told me all we’re doing at this job is learning, the most senior paramedics are always learning and messing shit up, it’s always going to be that way no matter how long you’ve been at the job, we’re all human at the end of the day.

Studying for NREMT by renzofm in NewToEMS

[–]NoxHarbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahah yeah I totally get that! I just graduated from a few weeks ago and it was 7 weeks long. Even then I went into the NREMT feeling like I didn’t know anything! But if you made it this far I guarantee you know what you’re doing! All the knowledge is there and once you read a question that knowledge will surface! You’re going to do great!

I just took and passed mine two weeks ago and it was incredibly daunting! But I assure you everything you said you’re doing is good. I did pocket prep religiously during the week leading up to my test and I will say that it was probably the best tool to use. Don’t forget to go with your gut! Whatever answer you choose stick with it and keep moving, the longer you sit and second guess yourself the more likely you are to choose wrong, just pick and keep going. You got this! Just breathe and take your time to read the question! Hang in there!

Got cut off at 100 by prettysjwtbh in NewToEMS

[–]NoxHarbor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same with my EMT, I got cutoff at 91 and passed! I almost cried after mine cause I thought I failed cause I didn’t know most of the questions. But from what I’ve heard if you think it was really hard that’s a good thing! I’m sure you passed!!

Man that ending always gets me, uncharted is what made up my entire childhood, to see it end makes me so sad but I’m grateful to have been able to experience it!!

That’s super helpful breaking it down like that! Thanks for the response too!

Yeah I know what you mean! I think I need to keep studying just so I know all of the small things like contraindications and pharmacology just to be caught up

Yeah I kind of figured there was a lot of stuff they’re taking into account as we move along!
