Hi! I'm Jon. I've been watching your Wilco posts for a year or two, but now I'm getting really close to having my immigration squared away, so I'm starting to line up my ducks. Do you guys have any Canadian medics, or will I be your first?!? :)

Hey! Sorry, I dont really see these profile posts lol. But um, as far as putting on your turnouts? Just practice practice practice is all I can say. In our class making sure the faceshield being down was a critical fail if it was still up, we actually had a guy get failed out of Academy because he failed the skills testing fir failing to put the shield down in time

I refuse to post anonymously. I live in Burnsville, MN and am a retired paramedic with Hennepin County Medical Center located in Minneapolis. I did my first ambulance call in 1971 and worked as a paramedic for over 36 years. While retired for >3 years, I still maintain my certification.

Hey so I just ran into your post that you posted here awhile ago and I’m in the same shoes as you were back in 2015.
I took my cognitive exam and passedbut my skills expired. I’m curious to know what did you end up doing?
unfortunately for me it’s almost been 2 years since I took my class so if I don’t turn my skills in by tomorrow I have to retake the entire class!! Ugh so I’m bummed.

Hi ExpatMedic0. I’m a Canadian Advanced Care Paramedic. I am currently waiting for the green light from Global Medical Recruitment to participate in the South African interview process for employment in Qatar. I understand you were/or currently are employed in Qatar. I’m curious about the interview process and what to expect. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey! I'd like to reach out to you and have a conversation regarding the EMS climate in southern central/eastern MN. If you'd be up for a brief chat, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I can try to answer your questions. I have spent most of my career working the suburbs of Minneapolis. The companies I work for also cover rural areas.

Weeks are 36 hrs and 48hrs .. the 36 jr weeks are paid at 40 hrs to meet full time requirements, the 48hrs, the extra 8 are an automatic overtime.

Cant comment on rules regarding picking up extra shifts for OT but my understanding is it's fairly unlimited)

Hi ExpatMedic0. I'm new to EMTLife, I tried to find a way to massage/email you directly. Do you know how has the flight contract with Saudi Red Crescent? I know PHI had it in the past. Now it seems to be mostly South Africans working on the flight side for SRCA. Thank you. Erik

Hey Erik, It's been a decade since I worked there, I'm not sure who has the contract currently. In the past Alpha star aviation, Abu Dhabi Aviation, PHI all had different contracts with SRCA HEMS. There have also been periods when the SRCA has contracted with no one, hires directly. Not sure what the current status is. If you find out feel free to let me know
