Hi,
I went to school in pensacola florida, and I loved it. I currently live in indiana and my wife and I are thinking of moving back, while its just in the beginning stages, can someone with experience in florida give some info on their ems system. Is is state tested like indiana or do they honor NREMT. I'm currently an EMT-A but I do not think florida has that. So I imagine I would be a Basic, which is fine for me since I intend to go for medic soon anyhow.
Also what is the pay like, and type of services as i'm sure I will have to start in a transport agency instead of a total 911. Is their ems fire station based or hospital or a combo of the two?
Thanks for any input
