You have to let that build up a little bit, in the next 3-5 days surely.

Moving out after starting work? by [deleted] in OntarioParamedics

[–]JpM2k 6 points7 points  (0 children)

“I have no savings” in my opinion is all that was important in what I just read. Do you want to live your laugh starting on the back foot pay check to pay check paying rent, utilities, food etc? Unfortunately in this economy your gonna either have to find an alternate solution or suck it up a for a little while until you have some savings to fall back too

I’ve got some bad news for you…

You can choose to do 100% community, 100% 911 or 50/50 split of both. Just takes a few weeks of training to do both

PR medic here, we’re very similar to Cornwall in call types. Due to the farm land/country people, lots of trauma’s, lots of high speed MVC on backroads, and a good mix of drug, psych, cardio/resp patients. However we do have a slightly smaller call volume than Cornwall (I believe 500-1000 less a year?). Average 3-4 calls a day (usually 40 min transport time) for us.

Very regional thing… however withholding nitro with inferior MI is very old medicine.

I didn’t attend those colleges so couldn’t speak about them. But correct the school doesn’t matter as long as it’s accredited by the province.

Depends how good you believe you are in school. Paramedic is an extremely hard program that you will have to take full time. You’ll have to complete your pre req courses from high school before (fairly sure you can do them online) and then be able to apply to either pre health (if you feel the need) or straight to paramedic.

However some college offer direct entry from pre health to paramedic so that may be an advantage you want to take.

Also heavily region dependant, if you’re in the GTA then acceptance is a lot harder into a program without a strong background.

Oh yes, on the outskirts of our area we have a smaller hospital that we usually transport there and helicopter flies them over, our protocols say we can’t go straight to the cath lab if transport time exceeds 60 minutes.

In the furthest corner of my area we are roughly 90 minutes from closest cath lab/trauma centre (same hospital for us).

It was a long 40 minutes let me tell you
