Florida is mostly Fire based EMS. If you want to make a decent wage there's three agencies

-Sunstar Paramedic Tampa, FL
-Lake EMS, Lake County
-EVAC Volusia County

Florida Hospital has it's own interfacility service but I'm not sure exactly how much they make.

American Ambulance is an IFT that pays pretty poorly.

Rural Metro did IFT and was a back up service to Orlando FD, I'm not sure how the AMR/RMA merger will change things. They got paid pretty poorly too from what I understand.

In/around Orlando there's almost a dozen hospitals or stand alone ERs. I know at one point the ERs were pushing for paramedics especially on nights. Best of luck!

Nemours is new in town, recruiting and competitive in pay from what I hear.

Are you looking for on the road work or hospital work? Aside from interfacility transports, your options as a medic in central FL are severely limited. Sunshine gave you some decent options, which of course means traveling outside central FL to work but to get to any of those locations from central FL will take you 45 mins to 1.5 hours. Not a horrible commute, I used to do way longer as do many others here on this board.
