A Guide to Passive Income

-
Hi Everyone!

As you may know, I try to be a queen in passive income. It has taken me quite a few years through trial and error to choose the most effective ways to earn passive income. I am not saying this will pay for your £1,000,000 house, but this is a great way of supplementing your income either for savings or just a bit of pocket money.

Make sure you check back on this page as this is an ever evolving post which I will keep updated! Let me know what works for you, and please follow the links on this post as some will provide bonuses for both you and I!

Gener8

This is an interesting concept. It is an add-on on your toolbar which pays you every time you see ads when using your laptop. This is especially great when using your laptop for studying and writing essays and you will see a lot of ads in your time! They pay you back with giftcards for different sites (although I usually choose PayPal as then I can transfer it directly into my back balance). It is simple to introduce to your toolbar and quick to check your balance. Initially I was sceptical however since installing it my balance keeps growing - with the least amount of effort possible which I absolutely love.

Gener8 basically uses the information you choose to submit on your interest (you can choose to submit everything or nothing through a quick preferences quiz) to make sure the ads you see are tailored to you. There is more information which you can find on their blog. You can also pause or stop Gener8 whenever you want, the choice is yours.

Swagbucks

Swagbucks has been my personal favourite for a few years and has made me hundreds of pounds in PayPal giftcards. There are lots of ways to earn Swagbucks, but my personal favourites are the completing surveys and shopping. Surveys are quick and easy to complete and by answering them truthfully, it can easily make you lots of points. I normally do this when I am chilling and watching television or playing on my phone as it does not take up too much brain power and its better than doing nothing. By installing the toolbar, which you can do here, every time you shop on a site (hotels, food, clothing, electronics etc), it notifies you if you can earn points by shopping. I am not the biggest shopper, however I have made a huge amount of points by just doing my regular shopping and also booking hotels and holidays. It does not take me any extra time to do this and earns me money back which is a win-win. There are also other ways of earning. I have earned points by discovering apps and games, and also entering competitions.

Honey

Honey is definitely all the rage right now. It's an extension in the toolbar which provides you with discount codes for different online shops. It is really helpful as you do not have to search for different codes, it just prompts you when there is one! It also provides cashback when you shop and discounted hotel stays. It does not take up any time and saves you money! Whats not to like?!

Receipthog

Receipthog is a phone app where you upload photos of your receipts and briefly rate your shopping experience to earn points. Different kinds of shopping trips earn you different points and some give you slot machine tokens which can earn you bonus points. Rewards include, but are not limited to, PayPal and Amazon vouchers.

What's In My Paramedic Uniform

-
Image
Left to right: ID badge, stethoscope, radio clip, shears/tough cuts, lip balm, tourniquet,  alcohol gel and clip, pens and pen torch. Here are my uniform essentials! Read on for where I position these items and the bits I did not include on the photo. ID Badge I put this on my collarbone where the loops are, you need your ID badge as ID (obviously) but also to get into the buildings. On your first shift you will need to tap it against the keypad and it will beep to let you in! Just a side note, some ambulance stations have really funny locks on them, so to get out, you may have to turn a grey knob to get yourself out (better to know than not!). Stethoscope I use this  Littman III Cardiology stethoscope (in orange, as you can see) and it is great because it's head twists to hear more sensitive sounds. I generally keep my steth in my knee pockets, however I have two points to make. Firstly, keeping it in your pocket can slightly disfigure it or it can get caught on things

Paramedic Science Interview Question Examples Part 1

-
I am a third (and final) year Paramedic Science student who helps at interview days and (back in the day) attended five interview days and got five offers! Here are examples of what you *might* be asked during your Paramedic Science interview. Sorry if none of these come up, please let me know what you get asked so we can give the future generation an idea of what to expect! These questions apply to MMIs (multiple mini interviews), individual and group interviews and also written literacy tests. Generic Questions - What is your perception of the role of a paramedic? - How is it best to deal with conflict (between crew mates/supervisors/managers etc)? - What is something that is currently affecting the profession (anything recent in the news)? - What is professionalism? - What is teamwork? - What do you understand about patient confidentiality? - How would you deal with difficult patients/angry relatives? - What areas do you know of that paramedics work in/how is the ambulance

My first week as a Student Paramedic

-
My First Week Experiences I was terrified before my first day on placement (which was clear if you have read my last post). I got up at 4am to get to the station at 6am (as you always ought to get to station at least 15 minutes early). I met my mentor who was lovely (and probably nearly as nervous as I was) and the shift begun! My mentor and I discussed what I felt comfortable with and what I wanted to do. I was her first student as she was a mentor in training so we were both in the same position to start off with. I chose to take a back step to begin with, but quickly she encouraged and helped me to get more involved. My main concern is doing things wrong, however in the service there are plenty of ways to do things - all paramedics do things differently - so it is important to have a go so long that it is safe. All mentors are different, but communication is key. I found that everyone I encountered was helpful and friendly to me. People were happy to show me what to do and guid
