Whirlwind

Feels like just yesterday a fresh faced student showed up for Day 1 of the PCP course, all bright eyed and bushy tailed… full of excitement.

Going on 5 months later the eyes have even more excitement but are little less bright and the tail a little less bushy. It has been one hell of a ride and while I still have a few more steps to go before I can say that I am a full fledged Paramedic, I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

I managed to get through the classroom portion of the course without any remedials and was quite proud to finally be heading out on to the streets with the rest of my classmates for precepting. Now to put all those hours of training and study to real use!

Christmas and New Years came and gone with little time to rest and recuperate and precepting is now in full swing, I can’t think of a better way to start off the New Years than a 6:30am Shift in Vancouver… I must be a budding Paramedic.

I have been extremely busy and have not had many days off this months with precepting shifts in the city and BCAS shifts at my home station so I apologize for the lack of posts… but I have tons of war stories and crazy happenings to ramble on about in the near future.

To all those just starting or planning on taking the PCP course, good luck and put in the effort, it will all pay off and come together towards the end.

Stay safe out there!
