Went to school in Sarasota, which is where my heart still lies, but I currently work IFT private contract in Port Charlotte area. Working on getting Manatee or Lee under my belt....

I know a guy who works for Sarasota county FD as a medic and lives in Miami, he makes that drive every shift... crazy bat turd.

Have you gotten a call for an interview with manatee yet? I filled out the application but am still waiting for a call. Friend just got hired with them few months ago, says he runs at least one code a week o.o

 

[Hunter]

Did you get a card from the state?

not yet, just my nremt card & stuff.

you get your state license a week or two after you get your nremt stuff

I am wondering if the nremt card is good enough to get a job

Nope, your nremt card is only a certificate not a license to practice.

cool i have received everything. I applied at a private company already, just gotta wait now

Still haven't heard anything, and manatee is my preferred county at the moment since it's closest to everything I know and love here.... I wish they'd get their shiz together and make calls. I already have testing scheduled with another county that is 2 hours away....

And ditto, one of my friends got hired there in Nov and he put in a good word for me.... Time shall tell...

 

[titmouse]

still no card... hopefully tomorrow

Have you looked at sunstar? They aren't hiring right now but they cover pinellas county, directly north west of manatee

 

[lightsandsirens5]

Sunstar seems like it should be a good company. They cover parts of East Texas (under a different name) and are a decent company. Especially considering they are the third largest ambulance provider in the US.

I did my medic school ride alongs with them and liked it. I applied with them too, but another service got back to me quicker.

 

[titmouse]

Got my card! Gonna apply tomorrow!

 

[kaaatielove]

Got my card! Gonna apply tomorrow!

Good luck!
