I LOVE MY JOB!!!!!

Twenty years on the job Municiple EMS.... 16 as a Paramedic.

I have advanced myself to EMS Instructor, ACLS/PALS/ATLS Instructor

Have been an EMS Battalion Chief for 7 years now.

I can retire if I want but I'm only 39 so I can keep going.

I have thought about RN but I like working outside

This is what I love hearing! I can understand (via talking to different levels and walks of EMS folks) how it can get frustrating, and exhausting to say the least. I have heard some horrible things, and some wonderful things. And I get that I wont "get it" till I have worked in it. However I love knowing that there are those who still talk about their job with such enthusiasm, and happiness.
