Maybe you're just getting used to a higher standard. We're all supposed to keep learning and expect more of ourselves.

While this may be true, you were limited by your education as an EMT as to the depth of your assessments. Now as a Paramedic student, your assessment skills are getting an overhaul and you now have an idea of the level of assessment that an EMT can do vs what a Paramedic can do. Even so, when you further your education in patient assessment, you’ll find out how limited your previous education was. As an RN, my assessment skill really isn’t any different from what I did as a Paramedic, rather I do it with a different focus. It’s what you bring with your knowledge of A&P that will actually make your physical assessments better.

All very true statements. I'm lucky in that my service has a lot of paramedics who meet or exceed a minimum standard of excellence, and they care enough about my education and training to facilitate my learning as much as possible. Admittedly, I've had some difficulty in the hospital triage setting, but things started making sense today on my field clinical.
On the downside, the EMS gods decided to harvest my transmission as sacrifice for my learning

And of course the Mariners remain true to form and choke.

I was worried my home team was about to break their 24 year record
I’d just like to say I want to get paid. Being a federal employee has been good when the checks are coming in, but this whole shutdown the government, I’m still working but I don’t know when my next check will be really sucks. Plus being a paramedic it’s not like we can just stop working, we stop working and all high risk training is paused till they could figure out how to work around the issue of no EMS.
