If you could get on a plane tomorrow and get your dream job in EMS, who would it be with (Excluding fire fighter jobs or dual role jobs, single role clinical only) .Obvious factors would include pay, hours and shifts, retirement and health benefits, equipment, protocols, co-workers and management, region, ect ect...

Of course if you have not worked there you don't know, but based on the above criteria and your perceived "dream job"

Sussex is still the top of the list for hitting all the points that were important to me.

Only down side? It's Delaware.

Insanely easy for me... back to army "critical care". Although technically that was multi role... treating the sick and injured, primary care, health and wellness, tattoo shop inspector, "adult interpersonal physical therapy specialist" inspector, veterinarian, and of course inflicting wounds. Actually was training back up for a contract version when this gig got green lit.

If they would tweak the schedule here in Qatar, I would _love it_ instead of just "it's a great opportunity, a good experience and sweeeeeeeeeeeet guess where I'm going next on vacation!" Two days, flip to two nights, with scattered extra shifts (day, night, peak) on your "four off" seemingly at random. You're always trying to figure out if you should be asleep, awake, or where you can find crystal caffeine to snort. It still smokes the US civvie gigs at the end of the day. AMR DC was hell. EMS in PA was decent but the pay and benefits were distinctly lacking and I would have slowly went bankrupt.

Hey, Delaware and you.. toxic together. :)

This is what kills me. So many great services in really uninteresting places.

I want to eventually work for one of the ski town's here. I work in the mountains now but the people are just bitter and gross and it's starting to wear on me. We're a good service in an ok place.

If I didn't have other plans, I wouldn't mind working where I am living now. Get experience with St. Louis FD first, then jump to St. Charles where I live in for a slower pace. They pay well, have gotten new equipment, updated protocols, and have a good medic program that would be cool to help adjunct in. If I end up wanting to stay in EMS, it is certainly a place I would consider coming back to once I finish roaming the world.
