Whenever I tell people what I do, the response tends to be, “What a tough job. I couldn’t do that. Are you scared of the kids?” and things like that. It is easy to bask in the glow of feeling somehow “tougher” than people who don’t work with kids who have attacked people, but I think people who have first responder jobs have a way more admirable job and have to be way tougher than I am. They also have to have a better handle on their stress than I do, I’m sure! If you’re the sort of person who is good in a crisis (a pretty much ongoing one), then you might be interested in obtaining
emergency first responder training.

If you’re already a first responder, you definitely have my admiration! Are you aware that you can easily get continuing education at the National Paramedic Institutes’s site through Medic Monthly? Modules feature case-based learning, streaming video and other online materials to keep it interesting. Each module is worth 1.5 continuing education credits. It is insanely affordable, with each credit only costing seven dollars. There are package deals that you can buy for the year that are even a better deal, and not only is it offered to individuals, but the whole department can get on board.

There is information on the National Paramedic Institute site regarding each state’s accreditation requirements, as well, so all of the information you need is at your fingertips.
