    EMT openings in Volusia County (central Florida)

    Thought the same thing, not sure if it's a temp way to see if you would be a qualified medic? Perhaps a new training program pipeline since to my knowledge we do not use EMT-I? IDK just what the posting shows.

    EMT openings in Volusia County (central Florida)

    Just a friendly FYI. Per their employment site Volusia County EMS is accepting applications for EMT (full-time) and Intermediate (full-time temp that can lead to permanent) Just figured that a lot of people in the Central Florida area are inquiring for EMT/EMS opening and that I would share...

    What defines a high volume/busy system?

    OK that is good to know, thank you. I figured that it might not matter compared to what you know how to do but a lot of job postings seem to have that as a main requirement. (Almost every ER tech job that I see shows at least 1 year of experience in high call role) Again thank you for the...

    EMT-B or military medic, opinions?

    Thanks for the reply. I am currently married with children but my wife is very supportive and wants me to do whatever makes me happy (and pays the bills). Not surprising but I have lived off less than $10.00 an hour before, from what I have heard some employers where I am in FL have 12 hour...

    EMT-B or military medic, opinions?

    First off this may have already been discussed but I could not find another thread here so sorry if this is a duplicate thread. I have been accepted into an EMT-B course for January 2013, but I really want to enlist as a military medic (either HM or 68W - more than likely NG or Reserve). My...
