Why?

Why is it that when you've finally decided that IT was not the career
you wanted and that you could give this medicine a bit of a go you
finally get the interview you have been chasing for the past two months?
I guess that would be to stop things getting too easy. Will at least
keep the medical irons on the fire until I know what is happening.
Interview will be 1000 on Monday....

Steps to the Future

Not being convinced that DorAmb will like what they see in my
application form I'm looking at my alternatives. What about if I look
into Nurisng? Adult nursing in Critical Care will probably hit the spot
- this will cover ICU, HDU, Trauma and A&E - I may even be able to sneak
into an Emergency Care Practitioner role this way. Need to speak to
Bournemouth Uni about this to see if I can get in this year on clearing.

I went to visit DorAmb today to hand my application in for Student EMT. Whilst I was with the HR peeps I thought I'd check on the progress of my application for Control. Unfortunately I found that I'd been unsuccessful. That was a bit gutting as you can imagine. So what do I do now? I'm considering taking an HCA role so that I can get an NVQ 2 or 3 in Care, then looking at getting on to a Nursing course, probably specialising in Critical Care - this will cover A&E, ICU etc. Then I can look at becoming an Emergency Care Practitioner. If DorAmb can't see that they should employ thats their loss. Another iron I have in the fire is a Casualty Care training role at Dorset Fire and Rescue. That would be neat, especially as my bro and my dad are/were fire fighters.

No speedway tonight, too wet. Pity as I'd put myself down to drive. Next week I'll be working control at Steam Fair, unless I invoke plan B and tap up the County Nursing Officer for an HCA type role in the treatment centre....

Whats Happened?

Well in the past 2 months I have been made redundant and have decided to probably not go back to working in the crazy world of IT. Yes the money was good but the job satisfaction was zilch, zero, non existent. I guess you get my drift. I'm now looking at the possibilities available to me. Agenda for Change has shaken up the ambulance services and they need to employ more staff so I'm looking at moving across. Luckily the fact that I worked for the same employer for 10 years means that I can take my time and choose a job I enjoy. St John is going great with me now being signed off as a driver I've run a few ambulance shifts. All very exciting especially the blue light driving. Its a lot harder work than I ever thought and the responsibility you hold can be quite draining.
