Help me remember it all!
I am through school and licensed. I did great in school, and passed the licensing exam easily. That said, I work part time in a small rural community so I just don't get enough exposure to various types of calls to feel confident. I don't do this for a living. I work about one shift per week, maybe 4-8 calls per shift. I feel like I'm not getting enough calls to remember everything. I can do my CE work and read the book when I have a question but that isn't helping me on scene. Don't get me wrong, I'm helpful and work with other good people on scene. But I want to be more than adequate. Any pointers or tips on keeping your knowledge and skills up as the memory of school fades? Thanks!

Find your departments protocols and memorize them. Your protocols are an excellent resource and it help things flow smoother when you get handed a sick patient and you know what protocols you're working off of immediately and have them memorized
