Online alarm clock for 7:15 pm
While you wait to meet the incoming shift at the St John ambulance station, set the alarm for 7:15 pm and keep an eye on the remaining evening. That gives you a clear cue to be ready for the handover rather than noticing the time only when someone arrives. There are 45 minutes from the alarm to 8:00 pm, leaving room for any follow-up tasks.
A station handover can be quiet one evening and busy the next, so match the alarm tone to the surroundings. A softer sound may be enough while you are sitting nearby, while a more persistent tone makes sense if radios, vehicles, or conversation could mask a brief alert. Check the volume before settling in. A missed browser alarm could leave you late for the St John shift, so keep this page open and your phone awake until it rings.
Before leaving for the 7:15 pm handover, notice how much natural light will remain around the station and on your route. New Zealand evenings vary sharply through the year: summer may still be bright, while winter can already be dark. If the light is fading, switch on an outside light beforehand or place a small torch where you can reach it without searching after the alarm sounds.
