Thanks for the comment! It can vary slightly, but a Bachelor of Paramedicine (or similar) can take up to 4 years part-time, or 3 years full-time. We hope this helps!
Thank you Sean, I studied the Diploma through APC. Jenns Hojby provided such great encouragement and one of my Paramedic Assessors Patrick, encouraged me to trybfor the degree. I'm now into the 2nd year.
This is incedible to read - thank you for sharing! APC would love to hear more from you and your story since graduation. If something you're comfortable sharing, please contact us via alumni@apcollege.edu.au so we can chat. We look forward to hearing from you. :)
Hi !! Help me out🙏 I am a high school student from MIT and my friends, and I were playing a world's craziest game involving rapidly whipping our heads back and forth. I aggressively accelerated and decelerated my head, forcefully in whiplash like manner, lashing it around in an attempt to win. Afterwards, I experienced an intense and unfamiliar headache, almost like the sensation from a wound or cut. I also felt confused mentally. Feeling awkward to ask others about the question? Did I possibly suffer a concussion from this self-inflicted head trauma? And if so, is it likely I lost some neurons due to stretching and tearing?
Stop calling yourself a Paramedic you are not. Paramedic is a protected title in Australia, you must be registered with AHPRA and have a suitable qualification.
Hi, Thanks for your comment! You are correct - individuals must be registered with AHPRA to call themselves paramedics. We're happy to advise that Nathan is registered and still loving this career in emergency services. Have a great day.
In general You Tube videos with their high quality images are accomplished .informative.educatitive and pleasantly entertaining save that in some videos presenter's voices are hardly audible. Videos on health have greatly assisted me to understand my health condition so that I am enabled to take the necessary measure. Thanks You Tube
Whatever neck brace was used for me in 2017 April 3rd truck accident. I think it was for children because I’m only tiny. It was a good brace, the paramedics wrapped a towel around my whole head once I was laying down as movement hurt my neck. Paramedics well done, if only emergency was as good as Your service that day. I’ve been searching for it ever since. It was clipped of me easily and was not bulky
Hi Melissa, We had a chat with our Training and Assessment Team and they mentioned it could have even been a soft collar that you were provided with. Alternatilvey, it could have been a 'Stifneck Select Extrication Collar'. We hope this helps!
@@AustralianParamedicalCollege THANK-YOU, SO VERY MUCH. Means a lot to get this reply. It doesn’t seem to be these, but it was certainly worth checking. I’m so appreciative of the people that work for paramedics Australia. Thank you so very much for the kind reply, the education excellence you provide and your commitment to helping the communities in Australia.

It will really depend on your location, chosen university and even prior experience you may hold too. We'd suggest you to search around to confirm. Best of luck!
@@somerandomgirl1 APC does not offer a sonography course, we do although offer emergency and non-emergency pre-hospital healthcare courses if you're interested. Feel free to click on the link in our caption to learn more. :)
You only cannulate on people once you have a registration, that would be after finishing the course. You would probably get opportunities to practice on mannequins in workshops while learning.

This is a slippery slope seen in all aspects of confronting occupations, front line emergency services, military occupations or dangerous occupations. The compounding application of humour as a coping mechanism is correlated with reduction in empathy, for other occupations this may not impede operations, however empathy is a core value needed to be a good healthcare worker. I fear creating a culture of acceptable "professional" dark humour diffuses into losing empathy. I can't foresee an opportunity where we keep exclusivity
Is it usual practice to not acquire the diastolic pressure via palpation? APS's deep dive video shows in excellent detail and easy to follow instructions for taking a patients BP here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vrNFH1q9ZPk.html
Hi Will, students can find the Student Code of Conduct on our website and the National Code of Conduct for Health Care Workers on the Queensland Health Website. For your convenience, I have linked both below: www.industrypathways.com.au/pdffiles/policies/22/Student-Code-of-Conduct.pdf www.health.qld.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0014/444101/national-code-conduct-health-workers.pdf All the best. :)
Great vid. Also to add - importance of ensuring the elbow is at heart height and best practice to get both arms. Better still, take twice before giving drugs where accurate BPs are required. Invest in set up, position, calming the patient, reducing ambient noise and using good equipment.
