    How to gain confidence?

    I had one of the highest grades in my EMT class (90% was required to pass, I finished with around 97%). That being said, on my first real patient contact all that knowledge seemed like it went out the window! In EMS, unless you are in a crazy busy area, there is plenty of downtime. I suggest...
