12. Diploma Graduate now Trainee Paramedic — Rachael Rose
Description
This episode we get to share the joy and journey of Australian Paramedical College Diploma graduate Rachael Rose, who left a well paying corporate career to follow her passion to be a paramedic and is now three months into the trainee paramedic role with the NSW Ambulance Service.
It's a great success story and in the interview you'll not only be inspired to follow your dream, but also learn about the whole process from diploma, to bachelor degree, to applying and training with the State Ambulance Service in Australia.
