Marsgaming Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Every active life style I respect that, I would be a peace officer or security but don't think I'll pass the medical part due to medical history and surgeries however I wish you luck in your journey. Nice to meet you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to meet you. Not sure where you're from but if you are in Canada all you really need to do to be Security is pass a 40hr course then write a written exam (super easy, a lot of common sense). It is the perfect entry level job to get healthier and get valuable experience. However if its medical issues preventing you from going into law enforcement I would probably look into Dispatch or branch into another part of your service such as Human resource or something a long those lines. All depends what you want though. Nice to meet you as well @Marsgaming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in United States they have very strict medical stuff as they don't want to endanger officers I have looked in to dispatcher but I'm more interested in EMS at the moment as I have a lot of medical experience.

Follow your dreams my man! Get higher education if you haven't already, take extra courses on mental health, addictions etc and get ahead of the rest of the candidates. You mentioned you had a few surgeries and medical history which depending on the extent of it might put you behind. But with a bunch more credentials under your belt and if you are still able to preform the job you will be just as competitive as the rest. Great thing about healthcare is there are so many different sectors you can get into, you don't necessarily HAVE to be in the front line to start. In Canada at least you can start as a nurse for a few years then receive some extra training and move into paramedics and you will have a way higher chance of getting in. Just don't give up bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
