A few of the CL's live in Florida, you should go egg their house for Easter :p
Oh and congrats on your medic

The job search is really killing me. Central florida is a wasteland for paramedic jobs. I'd be willing to drive up to 2 hours for a 24 hour shift if I wasn't making beans. I'm really getting worried that my wife will decline an offer of her dream job if I can't find work.

She'll be near orlando, or I certainly would.

have you tried the private IFT companies, There's a few near sarasota, bradenton, ect. Sunstar EMS seems to hire quite often.

I figure sunstar will be my best bet, and I'll be applying to lake soon as we'll. I'm just used to an area with little fire based ems and having your medic and not being a total moron means you can get on with whoever you want haha.

Hello, all. Chicagoan here checking out your forum.

My girlfriend and I are strongly considering a move to Florida. Analyzing it, pros and cons, all that, but strongly, strongly considering it. There are some things we're kind of waiting on (I'm actually quite close to getting on with Chicago Fire Department) but at the same time we absolutely love it down there for numerous reasons and would love to live there. Would likely be within the Lee County area, possibly northern Collier County. I know both run county-based EMS.

I'm 32, coming up on three years as a paramedic currently. I'm Chicago-born and raised, but lived out in Arizona three years where I went through paramedic school and worked a combination of IFT and 911 response. Upon moving back to Chicago it was similar, IFT and 911 response and a lot of emergency calls out of facilities, including Cook County Jail. Also have a couple of years of ER experience in there as well.

My question to you all you friendly folks is how often do these counties hire and how competitive is it? From what I've read on my own it appears pretty competitive. In addition, what kind of private companies are there in these regions and how reputable are they, what's the pay like, etc? I am doing my own research but figured I'd pick the brains of the experts in here. ;)

Thank you for any and all assistance. I look forward to hopefully becoming a resident of your beautiful state. I've had about enough of a lot of the nonsense in this city and state, let alone the weather!

It's also worth pointing out this would easily be a year out, nothing immediate.

Wish I could have traded places with this guy -- Chicago is probably my favorite city in the US and I am a born and raised in South FL guy.

Just passed my NREMT, now looking for a gig in a hospital. Fun ride so far and glad I've done it.
