The practical side of my course emphasizes the best part of becoming a paramedic. I get to practice with prehospital care medical equipment like cannulas, defibrillator, artificial airways, and drugs. It's what makes it fun but although crucial to know and become familiar with this type of equipment before entering the service. Besides being familiar with the equipment, being competent to use these equipment on real patients is not so fun but fairly stressing.
I want to feel competent and be good at what I need to do. I guess we can all feel like that sometimes. I can't say confidently that if someone was involved with an accident that I would have the answer or something I could do to help. My clinical study lecturer said something reassuring during one lecture - along the lines "when your out there of course your going to feel nervous and with the adrenaline pumping through you, you'll tend to forget everything and thats completely normal" - thats completely normal - it made me less worry but I still felt incompetent.
I'm not giving up this opportunity to be at university to potentially help people just because I feel incompetent. All in time, practice and commitment - I hope it would become natural and normal to me. Also that my nervousness would become stronger while I'm at university.
