What needs to happen now is to get in there. The question is how. I have had little to no luck. Time is flying by.

In EMT school all the way up to paramedic school we as medical providers are taught over and over again that if there is violence involved they are not to enter the scene.

I was taught the hierarchy of scene safety concerns.

Me before my partener/other rescue personal

The patient over by-standers

As to "the job" it's not all that diffrent from what I am doing right now. I sit in an ambulance doing first aid stand by, mostly at a speedway. A lot of the time it is sitting around for 6hrs at a time, bored out of my skull. I'm used to it and know how to cope. I love EMS. And the more EMS/first aid related experiance I have the better. Even if it turns out to be sitting in a pickup reading anything I can get my hands on.

I have financial goals in mind and also something of a deadline, though if I miss it. It just means I can stick around for a little while longer until the next one comes a couple months later.

In all honesty it is because I can make good money doing it. It will give me a good base from which I can pay for higher levels of training and perhaps more formal post-secondary education, Also I'm trying to make it to australia for the end of the year. These are in addition to the fact that I love the job. I like to help people which is what originally drew me to paramedicine/first aid. Also I have a bit of training in that industry already. I'm finding it diffcult to make my break though.

I'm need some help. I'm looking to get into the Oil and Gas industry in BC as a first aid attendant. I'm looking for companys to submit my resume to primarily. Also any information you think might be useful as well you be great. Thanks a lot. I appreciate any assistance you can render.
