Are paramedics cliquey like nurses?

[u/EarRepresentative444]

I'm interested in becoming a paramedic. I have loved the years I've spent as a HCA and I have tried going into nursing in the past however I have noticed that if the team you are working under don't like you, they will look for reasons to fail you if not making your placement as difficult as they can.

I love helping people and making a difference. I am able to remain calm and navigate difficult situations. I fear that I will expereicne a near identical work culture if I go into paramedic science. Is this something other students have experienced and how did you deal with it?

You’re a nurse aren’t you?

I’ve been warned about nurses

[u/dark_sansa → u/NopeRope13]

God no. I’m not in healthcare at all. My flair in the ems subreddit is “EMT Fucker”.
