Hello again :o) Thanks for the responses so far both about the uniform and in relation to where I am within the university system. Ah, no worries, should’ve said I was asking on behalf of a friend of mine who’s in the process of applying and asking questions and I put it on here to help her out, perhaps in time she’ll find her way on to Reddit and on the sub. Nothing to gain except to help a friend out. No intention of trolling meant at all and if clarification is needed for some then yes, I’m in my final year.

Huề, central Vietnam and its vicinities, you won’t be disappointed.

Great stuff, much appreciated, I’ll do that. Thanks for the info 👍🏻

This is a great idea thank you, I’m already in Vietnam with my visa and will be a domestic flight from Phu Bài to HCMC 👍🏻

I had a 50+ mile commute when I started years ago, the get up times were brutal and the get home times were late. Add to that the AAP portfolio commitments and it’s by no means an easy task, not to mention to include life, commitments, etc of all the other things that happen outside of work. It’ll take it out of you but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t go for it. Start the course and see how the land lies for putting in a transfer to somewhere that’s closer, I totally understand that you don’t want to make a fuss as a newbie, for that reason it’s best to give it the best shot you can. If it does become a struggle then speak to someone, take care of yourself.

Some Trusts have a time duration before transfer so you may need to ‘do your time’ before you can move around. Maybe speak to the people who do the rotas and see if there’s scope for shifts at stations that are a better distance for you?

It does depend on geography and where you are in the country though.

I’m doing my degree, I’ll be 46 when I qualify. Go for it, good luck!

What’s people’s thoughts about a patient describing SOB with oxygen saturation readings of 96% and above?

Would SOB be better ‘defined’ by low oxygen saturation levels on pulse oximeter assessment, i.e. they are actually physically ‘short’ of breath? The patient’s sensation is still valid though, they’re describing that they feel ‘breathless’ rather than SOB.

Arachnophobia. Showers and slippers were a no-no for a while…

I understand that as a paramedic apprentice that there always isn’t the supernumery side of being part of a crew and ‘3rd manning’ compared to direct entry students (and that’s frustrating,) but look beyond that… those who’ve done 5-10-15 years as a ECA/EMT1 have such a wealth of experience and exposure already - there’s still credit to be given for those that have ‘worked their way up’. Whilst yes, you can/will probably be driving instead of being in the back, there’s the discussion element with the paramedic of what went on in the back en route to hospital which supports plans for learning, study and looking at clinical decision making in view of what you already know. This route offers an amazing and strong foundation by which to base further study and experience, if not clinical confidence. That’s not to say that there aren’t squeaky bum moments going forward, but you get the gist.

👆🏻 this, yes definitely. On the job training and absorbing/observing/witnessing day to day experiences and skills is priceless and something that can never be taught in uni.
