I'm still a rookie and I replay every call on the drive home. Did I come on too strong, or did I hesitate when I shouldn't have? I'm scared of both, of overreacting and making things worse, and of freezing at the one moment it truly counts. Every shift feels like a test I'm not sure I'll pass.
More people experience this than they realize.
As a rookie you second-guess every call, afraid of both overreacting and freezing.
