I'll give you a simple answer as a former Firefighter/EMT of 10 years: If you are trying to freeze, you just need more training. You are simply pausing to take in what's happening. It's new, it's normal, and you can condition yourself against it by practice, training, experiences and more training. It took a while to feel comfortable running into situations that everyone else was running out of!

Looks like this is going to be my class! See you in November! This is actually earlier than expected for me. My original plan had been to start the PTE program next Fall. I had never seen the new building...may sound odd but I wanted to attend class after that. Still trying to figure out work hours! Also still have to take A&P II and Micro but will do that over the summer break.

I was accepted into nursing school and I'm about to do the same thing at age 39. I discussed it with my employer and they support me. I have a family, and they are behind me. I try to talk myself out of this every day, but I just have to do this...it's what I want to do. I may have given up on school when I go to bed, but when I wake up I'm ready to go again. I'm trying not to think about the big picture too much. I'll take each semester one at a time and follow the plan. I'll probably have to take a work hiatus to finish my last year due to the heavy clinical load so I'll be saving up to prepare. I just don't care what anyone else says, I have to try. It helps to see that others have made it.
