How's it going?

Well, isn't that a loaded question. So far, the course is extremely harder then I could have ever imagined, considering that I was told that there was 2 weeks of training & then we'd be on the phones.

Well, that's not quite what is happening. We have 4 weeks of training & then 4 rotations (4 working days & 5 days off) of preceptership and once that is complete, we finally start on our own. So, it was a small shock to the system when I first found that out!

Well finally today, I was able to go & sign my letter of employment I'm officially temporarily employed by SERHA, at least until Dec 16 when Ambulance New Brunswick takes over.

I can't really complain. I mean, so far I have only failed 1 test where I have 3 fails maximum.

As you can see by my posting time below, it's almost 4am and I've actually just gotten back from PSAP (Public Safety Answering Point) for a listen along & I found it very interesting. The two places are very similar in the service that they provide (answering 911 calls & sending out help: ie: ambulance or police/fire); however, the set up & software is completely different. I'm anxious to see (if I make it that far) what ANB is going to bring to the table.

Well, I just wanted to give a quick run down & maybe non of this makes much sense; however, I don't want to post-edit it either as this is "Another Day in the Life of Joel".

Have a great night, I'll certainly try!

'til next time!
