(sorry) Congratulations mate, thoroughly pleased for you Hahaha yeh I'll have to remember not to say that when answering the phone Thanks all, I'm sure I'll still pop in from time to time

p858snake Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 .....particularly the turning it off and on again bit! Actually that can be useful in some cases... but not usually for paramedics... Although they do get training on how to restart the equipment, then send them onto the manufactures repair center...
Hightower Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Congrats mate. How did this come about? Is the pay good enough to want to change (as I'm always looking for a change - was gonna join the Navy but the wife wouldn't allow it. She said I could join the Specials as a compromise). 1
cookie_monster Posted May 18, 2010 Author Posted May 18, 2010 Congrats mate. How did this come about? Is the pay good enough to want to change (as I'm always looking for a change - was gonna join the Navy but the wife wouldn't allow it. She said I could join the Specials as a compromise). It's something I've wanted to do for ages but it's waiting for the posts to come up and come up at the right time. That finally happened so I went for it, the pay is ok (well once i've qualified it's a big drop while training) but there's scope to progress throughout the trust, to community paramedic and ECP, etc 1
sparkeh Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 Sweet! Big congratulations, always nice to hear people's good news! 1
bossman Posted May 18, 2010 Posted May 18, 2010 @cookie_monster: downside of not being able to use wireless around those with pacemakers fitted hehe!! Great news well done and good luck 1
