Just thought I'd share some stuff my friend, a newly qualified nurse, has told me.
If you are going to get a fob watch there are new regulations about them, on wards anyway, you are no longer allowed metal ones because of infection. I know it's for wards atm but it'll probably be rolled out across the board soon and as some paramedic placements are on wards like maternity, it's probably worth getting a silicone one or something similar now.
My friend studdied at the same college that I'm at before uni and we use the BKSB literacy and numeracy testing stuff, she said they are good for practicing before interview if you have to do literacy and numeracy tests. I don't know if all colleges/schools use the BKSB stuff or if there is something similar but it might be worth haveing a practice on them.
She had to do literacy and numeracy tests again when she interviewed for jobs but she said they weren't too hard and most of the stress came from getting anxious before doing the tests.
Hope this is usefull to people
