Today I started my morning doing my internship hours in the hospital Emergency Room. My heart nearly fell seeing one mother's anguish and her husband's strength keeping himself humble and tear free while consolling his wife and then seeing their young baby's strength really gave me an amazing perspective.
I had an amazing ER Tech to shadow. She showed me areas of the ER I hadn't seen before as well as showed me how to make sure the areas were properly supplied with necessary items. Some of the tasks were indeed tedious, but at the end of my 8 hour rotation I didn't want to go home. For me its not so much the job that defines me but the job helps me define my greater purpose.
I was leaving and a patient was being brought in by helicopter. If I didn't have my national registry EMT exam scheduled I would have loved to see the operations of how to care for someone that is transported to the facility in that manner. This timing couldn't have been any better it made me look forward to my helicopter internship time. I can't wait to schedule my day to ride along with CALSTAR and see the daily operations of the helicopter and its crew.
I took my exam which is a timed 150 question exam and I was blessed to only be required to take 60 of the questions. I am keeping my fingers crossed that the news I receive is glowing. I have to wait to receive the results.
When someone says you have great potential say "Thank You" and believe them that was my strengthening lesson today!
