I'm a 17 year nj certified EMTb.
Halfway through my emt training, my town's ems decided they would no longer allow under18 year olds on the corp, and the next town over said they didn't take out of towners.
I then sorta panicked and looked for a squad to join from the surrounding towns, and found one with a small town 5 miles away. I enjoy being there, but it's far and my pager doens't work at home (Ie I have to be there all the time during the shift)
I'm turning 18 soon and the 2nd town contacted me saying they changed their policy.
Would it be wrong to resign from my current squad?
They are filled with every shift already, I'm just a additional crew member.
 
Well tell them that your resigning because it is too far and you dont have enough time to spend at the department. Or you can say your too busy with school.
 
I don't see the problem. Giving someone propper notice that you are leaving is all you need to do. Be respectful, give them two weeks notice and bring a cake on your last day. Its not a big deal. Its not like you are their slave and can never leave.
 
Exactly. It's not like EMS is going anywhere and besides a few months more of life experience can make a big difference. Don't throw away what little of your youth you have for this mess of a career. In other words, don't make the same mistake I did.
 
5 miles is "too far"?!

Jeez, me driving 100 miles must seem like going to the sun :ph34r:
