BCAS Job Action delays Med Tech QL3 quals

[EDS334]

Don't be too happy.
Back to work doesn't mean they have to do jack all that's out of their primary function.

Guess where precepting is under? Give you one guess.

No where did I say I was extactic.  I guess the smiley face was a little too much then? 

Given the fact that JIBC has some public data showing dates for precepting in 2010, with little other detail to them, I suggest the system that be, is indeed moving in a positive - albeit slow - direction for those of us who are QL2.9.

It's not "hurray I get to work" news.  It's just simple intel that keeps us informed.  Those who wish to make up their own minds can follow the link:  http://learning.jibc.ca/TPOnline/TPOnline.dll/Public%20Course/COURSENO=COUR2003090212343001463104

Might want to read the entire thread before you take my smiley face to mean anything more.  I mean my cynicism is near record levels now.  But hey, it is the Christmas seasons, so I guess I am happy..  Anyone who is currently out in JIBC, please help this thread and post what you know... Or what you don't know! 

Merry Ho Ho!  :christmas happy:

And FYI, my new nick name suggests my trade... Just Another Military Medic..  Let's keep our spirits up!

All I know about JIBC is what I read in the papers: "The union has also systematically disrupted paramedic training, refusing practicums and causing the Justice Institute of B.C. to turn away hundreds of students.":

Thanks MM.  It would appear that some reporters are now finally tackling the larger question of "what does this all mean?"  Kudos to them for starting to take a real role in investigative journalism.

Nope, but I was putting a halt on the soon to be happy people.

Not to dampen your holiday spirits here, but AFAIK the majority of the preceptors have turned in their coats and said no more. So... yeah.

It's INT in the Canadian Forces. Intel's a processor company for computers  >

I think you need to read the entire thread, since I've been posting the most up to date info here for many re: precepting both during the job action, and well... now, with my most recent reply to you. I'm sorry to be the bringer of bad news, but I will say now what I've said before. JIBC PCP Students may have more priority over QL3 MedTech Students.

Make sure you take that attitude you've gotten from the article to your preceptors, when you get to a preceptor. You'll fit in really well. Make sure you also quote things from that article, and ask them it it'll be okay to use the new Primary Survey:

Airway
Breathing
Can You Drive To the Hospital?

Investigative reporting my ass.

Well I just went back and read my thread, and I would say Mariomike has been posting the most up-to-date information.  But I don't think anyone is shooting for recognition.  I merely figured you were confusing me as a new guy to the thread, when in fact I started it (forum name change).

I tell you this:  My mk1 eyes have seen "on strike" stickers still across ambulances here in BC (yesterday iirc).  Likewise, I asked a few ambulance crews who were on break if they knew of any precepting (scheduled or ongoing) and they said no.

Whether this is just them playing cautious in informing some "Joe" off the street, or a failure in communication from BCAS to its employee's, or JIBC has yet to amend their course calendar, it would seem something remains amiss.

MedTech, what's your JIBC course number?  :christmas happy:
