My career in EMS started at a the Hopewell Fire Department & Emergency Medical Unit and that's where it all took off for me. This episode is for the new guy or girl looking at a career in EMS. There are some things you need to know before getting started and some things to understand going forward. I absolutely love what I do! I just want to make sure you start off on the right foot so you can make an informed decision and love what you do!

Our past can bring about positive change when we build on the good experiences. However, if we don't learn from the bad and have a plan for the ugly parts of that past, it can have a negative and even fatal impact on our career and our lives. Check out today's podcast as we dive into some tips about how to make the most of our past!

Fear comes in different forms. Our responsibility as professionals is to dispel fear through education and reassurance. We need to be advocating for our patients and realizing that what they and their loved ones are going through may in fact shake them their core. We have the ability to bring understanding and trust which will enable better care and provide an atmosphere of trust with those we care for.

People are all around us. From our patients to their friends and families, to our colleagues and our own friends and family, we are around others that impact how we care for others. In this episode, lets break the people group down to see who is around us and how we should interact with them.

What is your passion? Do you know what it is? Have you found something you love to do? Would it matter if you didn't need the income? Would you still do it, be drawn to it and strive to impact the lives of others with it? Is it really your passion or just a fade? Take a listen as we look at this thing called "passion".

Caring for your patient as a whole being, not just a clinical subject.

Our focus is key. We cannot be at our best and stay motivated if we lose our focus. Join me as we talk about how to maintain it and steer clear of some dangers!

In this podcast I look at egos and how they can affect what we do both on and off the job.
