Answer 2

I am a male nurse and I used to work in the ER and also on ambulances.Apart from getting a good training and learning a lot about emergency,just make sure you have got the right personality to cope with it.I mean,if you have to rescue an 8 year old child who has been run over by a truck,do you think you can stay calm and rational to do what you have to without causing maybe more damage?To work in that field the perfect match is to be very cold and sensitive at the same time.But it's not easy at all.
Good luck!
