    Clinicals and Ride Alongs

    When I did my Ride alongs everyone was nice to me but that isn't the case for everyone. Just do your best and what you are told, how you are told, ask for help if you need it and remember you are just a student. If you mess up it's only natural, just learn from it and as for people yelling at...

    is an expensive stethescope worth it?

    As an EMT you probably wouldn't need a high quality one. You should get something cheaper like the person above me mentioned, no more than 50 dollars. There is really no point in buying something expensive for something so simple.
