the turn of point from student to intern

so today was the meeting... 28 excited/nervous paramedic students walked into the classroom, conversing with each other over clinical experiences, and work related situations..
one talks about the previous fires
one talks about the crazy 5150 patient they previously transported
one talks about the breaks of her ambulance locking on her during transport
many stories are exchanged as this class of 28 friends reunite...
they all sit down and listen to a four hour meeting consisting of paperwork/ rules and regulations..all at the edge of thier seats to find where they would begin thier journey as a paramedic intern..the turn in the road from student to intern..thier options:

city fire departments
county fire departments
ambulance agencies
.....alll in one county....


after the long meeting the final part had come..the field coordinator slowly walks across the classroom and hands the students each thier schedules one at a time...as one is handed to them thier classmates desperatly view the onfo with them learning where their counterpart is going... burts of praise, voiced questions, laugher, and anxiety feel the air as the students discover where they will go.....after the excitment settles down the field coordinator announces to the class...

"Get out thier and do a good job...be safe."

with that the class rises to thier feet and the noise of pushed in chairs, more laugher, more questions and now shouts of excitment fill the air as all 28 students walk from the classroom and out into the evening air..no longer 28 students but 28 paramedic interns hit the street....

am i ready? I am excited!!!
Lord strenghten me!!!! :)
