Hello there. So I am only been on this site for about two months but for the most part it seems like a great area to get some insight and guidance. So here is my issue. I graduated from paramedic school and recently go my medic license (two months ago). While all this was taking place my husband and I had a baby. I was blessed that I was able to get off the truck and be a stay at home mommy however I am ready to get back to work and get some experience as a medic. I have 4-5 yrs on a 911 truck in a slow service and then a busy service as a Basic and Aemt but like I said...none yet as medic. So anyways my frustration is my husband as a amazing job that looked like it was going to transfer us back home (so i could work for my old service yah!!) however they post pone it for 6 months. There are only a few work options were I am currently (would only be for 6 months). Two of those never hire (supply vs demand) and one is only 24 hr shift with automatic call back. No way is this momma working a possible 48 away from baby. I got that job and turned it down. And then there is a transfer service who only does IFT. I have some experience in IFT but it was most critical transfer which was amazing. I also applied for this job and got it. Not to sound some kind of way but I don't have to work but rather want to work. I love this profession and love learning and want to become a great medic. I just have the normal frustrations from going from a great busy 911 service with a great reputation to doing IFT. So should I take the IFT job or wait six months and return to my 911 job I love.And how would working 6 months on IFT look on resume? Worse not having worked at all? Thoughts?
