tekken3 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Hey guys, are you guys just writing a description of what you did, or are you including what you learned as well, (if you have room)?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaM Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I only put down what I did, but for most things there wasn't enough room to add much more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekken3 Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 thx andreaM! i was also wondering is it absolutly critical to have an expereince for eah type of NAQ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndreaM Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 They say they want to see well roundedness, so not having anything for say leadership or service probably wouldn't look too good. If you're just missing high achievement in an area of human endeavour then you're probably ok, since many people don't have that. If you have a lot of one category maybe see if some of them might fit elsewhere to make things look more even. Like if you have lots of service see if some of them have any leadership qualities.

keepontrying Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I've led a team of first aiders saving a casualty from imminent danger (stabilizing her conditions by controlling severe bleeding, immobilizing head and spine, and providing high flow O2). I put this under leadership but then the entire rescue process only took 10 minutes since the paramedics arrived on time. So, should I just put 1 hour or should I not include this activity at all?

jared Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 If you're giving O2 then you're most likely first responder (I'm assuming SJA AMFR since this is vancouver) or higher on shift so would you not have more to put down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keepontrying Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 I did include my SJA activities already in the NAQ, but I just thought this would be a pretty unique experience since alot of people I know from SJA have not actually dealt with a critical case ever. I've dealt with several major cases but this one was probably the most severe and hectic since my fellow first aiders were all new. If the character limit isn't 350, I would have just included it under my SJA public duties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
