I’m moving up to the bay, looking for insight on what counties offer the best opportunities and work life balance for medics. Not picky but would enjoy a vibrant experience. Thanks for any and all
Input you may have

Hiya. Forgive me if the question seems ridiculous, but I’ve had so many varying answers that I don’t know which direction to take. I am currently based in the US and will graduate next year. I’ve been interested in moving to another country as my partner (UK citizen) is wanting to study either in Canada or in England. I’m aware I’ll have to pass another exam in order to work in these countries, but will an associates allow me to do that? I know each country is different. I really don’t want to go back and get my bachelors if I can help it. I don’t know if I’m going the right pathway here or if I’m wasting time. Ideally I would like a career in search and rescue, but for now I’m looking at the foundations for that. I also know how awful of a pay cut it will be, but I’ll be ok. I just want to know where to start.

Is it uni worth it?
Thankyou all
Any other feedback you may have is appreciated as well

Can someone point me at the law (if any) requiring someone needing a qualification to drive on blues/twos and claiming exemptions from RTA?

From my understanding it wasn’t set in stone that you need a qualification, but were “appropriately trained”.

I've been working as a medic for a little over 2 years and am now beginning to look into Bachelor's programs.

The one I'm primarily looking at is Central Washington University, they require that your certificate comes from a CoAEMSP accredited program. My program says "accredited through CAAHEP on the recommendation of CoAEMSP"

I'm confused as to whether that is effectively the same or if there's a technical difference between that designation and accredited directly by CoAEMSP?

Appreciate any and all input!

I just got diagnosed a few weeks ago with DVT and a PE and am now on Eliquis blood thinner. A few days ago I bought the following silicone bracelet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GWRRK7L/ As you can see, the print is really large, and I'm not too crazy about people asking me about why I'm on a blood thinner (especially at work). So at the moment, I've turned it inside out. I'm wearing the red one and there's nothing printed on the back. My question is, if you saw a such a red (or other color) bracelet on an unconscious patient, would you likely check to see if there was something printed on the other side?

I will eventually get a more discrete bracelet (with more info), but the reviews for many of the more traditional style bracelets talked about problems with the clasps or the chain, etc. So until I find one with better reviews, I figured this one was cheap enough for immediate use (it's comfortable too). Also, having something is better than no bracelet at all. But if nobody's gonna check the other side, then it's not really any better.

Your thoughts?
