EMT Lab Class 2011

Here are a few of my new friends I made this semester! I've met some great people in these past few months!

Best of luck on finals and National Registry!

Please pray for us

I have so much on my mind right now, so much that I cannot focus on doing my homework so I need to put these thoughts somewhere, whether someone reads them or not.

I’m incredibly stressed out about class tonight. I had major stage fright while practicing EMT skills with my classmates. We don’t normally practice in front of the whole class, we usually break up into smaller groups with which we have, I think its safe to call, “comfort zones,” girls with the girls and guys with the guys. Tonight our class was smaller due to some missing classmates so for those of us who were attending, we were all one large group.

I was so nervous, I forgot the simplest things, things I can usually do in my “comfort zone” with no problem. Everyone in my class is super awesome and I feel comfortable with all of them its just tonight was a bit different with all eyes on me.

Aaron made a good point to me tonight though, when I came home I told him about how bad I choked in class and he said “You’re going to be put on the spot in real life” basically get used to it. He is so right!

I have 4 weeks left of class and then I take the big kahuna, National Registry Exam, which includes the written exam (which I’m honestly not worried about) and the skills testing. As we get closer I get more and more nervous!

I’ve had my good confident days and I’ve had my stressful unconfident days, today was one of those. When I don’t perform well in class it affects me for days after and I’m hard on myself.

Please pray for my classmates and myself that we will all make it through this.

Quick Update on EMT school and life

Quick Update!

Class is going well! I will continue to post blogs about current happenings in class. Those of you who read my blog seem to like that and I love sharing it with you!

This class is sucking the life out of me right now, I’m feeling slight resentment against it right now just because I feel like I have such little time for my precious family and I have no free time what so ever.

I know I shouldn’t be upset at all about the amount of work I have, but it gets to me when my family is starving for my attention and I just can’t give them 100% of it! Plus, everyone knows, you need your “YOU” time once in a while too and I have zero time for that, hence the abandonment of my YouTube channel :(

Class is almost over though! I just have to get my IV certification, which is a short class, and then I can start working on the ambulance!! I am so excited to get out and find a job right out of school! I’ll do some volunteering until then and possibly work for 911 dispatch in the mean time.

All the countless hours of studying and boats loads of reading and homework will pay off in the end.

I’ve loved this class and everyone I’ve met along the way. I’m truly looking forward to working in the field!

I’m totally psyched and the passion I feel for this career is an amazing feeling!

I hope to be an exceptional EMT.
