I do agree with most of what you are saying except for the part that involves Ambu Trans. Not all the people employed with them are as uneducated and non qualified as you say as well as the benefits comment is untrue as well . I am employed with them and as for the non qualified part; I am a registered nurse who just so happens to be in a very bad financial situation and I need the extra work where ever I can get it. There are numerous individuals in the same predicament as me working at Ambu Trans , many are actually Certified Paramedics who were forced into retirement, single parents who need extra income, licensed physicians from other countries waiting to take exams for Ontario , nurses, etc. so to say that we aren't educated is not only false but very upsetting. The Paremedic course is only 2 years I spent 4 years for my RN and an extra 2 for my B.a. Yes the Paramedic course is specialized but I believe that many of us are more than qualified to do simple patient transfers for non emergency patients . We never claimed to be paramedics anyways. We understand our role in the healthcare industry so we are not as bad as many portray us to be. If I had the option of nursing full time and leaving AmbuTrans trust me I would however I am not that fortunate. Also the comment of the benefits is also untrue we have a very good benefit plan payed 100% by Ambu Trans to Manulife Insurance.
