Finding Your Place
A guide to being mentored in EMS.
You worked hard to get here. Now someone hands you a uniform, points you toward the rig, and expects you to figure out the rest. This guide is about what happens next.
A guide to being mentored in EMS.
You worked hard to get here. Now someone hands you a uniform, points you toward the rig, and expects you to figure out the rest. This guide is about what happens next.
Nobody teaches you how to be mentored. They teach you protocols, pharmacology, airway management. But no one sits you down and says: here's how to find the people who will invest in you. Here's how to ask for help without feeling weak. Here's how to tell the difference between a crew that's testing you and one that's failing you.
Finding Your Place is the guide that fills that gap. It's written for the EMT or paramedic in their first year, the one still figuring out where they fit, whether they belong, and whether this profession is going to be worth the cost of staying.
It's free because every new provider deserves access to it. No paywall. No catch. Just the conversation someone should have had with you on day one.
EMT and paramedic students about to enter the workforce. New providers in their first year on a crew. Anyone who's ever walked into a station and wondered if they're welcome. And the instructors, preceptors, and program directors who want to hand their students something real before they walk out the door.
How to recognize good mentorship when you find it. How to seek it out when you don't. How to navigate crew dynamics that no one warned you about. How to ask questions without feeling like a burden. How to handle the silence, the testing, and the moments where you're not sure if you're being hazed or trained. And how to build the kind of relationships that turn a job into a career.
Finding Your Place is the student's entry point into a three-book mentorship framework. The Ordinary Hours tells the leader's story. The Other Seat tells the new provider's story. Finding Your Place gives you the tools to write your own.
Enter your email and we'll send Finding Your Place straight to your inbox. Share it with your class, your crew, your students. It's free for everyone.
The Ordinary Hours and The Other Seat are the narrative mentorship books behind Finding Your Place. One for the leader. One for the learner.
