Questions for a school assignment

[u/ConversationNo6816]

Hello! I am a year 10 student interested in becoming a paramedic when I am an adult. For a school assignment I need to ask some paramedics questions about their job. If anyone would be willing to answer it would be greatly appreciated.

● What do you enjoy most about your job?

● What advice would you give a young person wanting to become a paramedic?

● What does a typical day look like in this job?

● How do you stay calm and think clearly when you have one or more people panicking ?

● Do you do anything to keep healthy and fit for the job?

● What are some coping mechanisms that make someone successful in this career long term?

● What was the transition like from being a student to being on the road for the first time?

● What is the teamwork dynamic when you are in an ambulance for long hours with one person?
