Best advice I was given when I first started in EMS was to always remember why you got into this field to begin with. There will be days when you're just tired, where you're physically, mentally and emotionally just exhausted; but if you're heart is in the right place and the passion to help others is your goal, those feelings will pass, and things will be a lot easier. Take " me days " and reset yourself, always be open to talking to Co workers and friends about things you see or feel and never for a second forget that you, just like your partner and your patients are all human. Lol, we all like to play hero and be the one to save the day, but take care of yourself first. As for the feelings of nervousness and stuff, believe me we've all been there. With time and experience your confidence will increase greatly, not to mention continuing your education and learning new skills are always a plus! Just when you get out there, try and remember, that that very moment and situation is your patients emergency, not yours, you're there to do your job and help them through it, you'll be fine! Good luck to you!
