Am-boo-lance

So I had my first ambulance ride-along yesterday. It went well... too well.

I loved being on scene. I loved the challenge of building a rapport with patients and initiating the assessment/treatment of them in such a short amount of time. I loved the autonomy of the ambulance. I loved being in the patient's homes and catching a glimpse of their life. I loved walking into situations without really knowing what was wrong. I loved the look of relief on the face of the family members when we pulled up. I loved chatting with the crew.

Shepp you're right. Being 0ut in the field is addictive.

I had planned on working as an ER tech because it pays better and it would give me a good head start on my nursing aspirations. I don't know anymore. I think I'd like the field more.
