Yup, constant openings for EMTs, Intermediates and Paramedics. Heck, I was still technically (and still am) wet behind the ears and they hired me.
Progressive protocols in a rural EMS agency covering a few counties.
We have float medics that are supposed to fill those spots...... but apparently not enough.

dangit, linuss. Don't tell everybody. They might not have any spots left when I get my medic! (I've pretty much committed to moving there.) hows the FTO program for new hires there?

3 weeks of academy for Paramedics going over the guidelines (protocols), then 2 months of FTO time, one month with one FTO, and one month with another, then a final ride with a station captain to get cleared.
I was just cleared last week

Can you actually live comfortably on a medic salary in your area (if you're comfortable answering that question on a public board)?

Being a 22yo Paramedic, single and with no kids and no debt, I put more than half my monthly income in to the bank and still spend a lot of money on frivolous stuff, live on my own, and have my own car that I bought new.
It's not as much as, say, ATcEMS or Montgomery County, but it's not bad and it's the norm for the area of EMS only agencies... but higher than the privates pay.
The cost of living in this part of Texas is not bad at all.

Hm... I'm considering moving either to Fort Worth or the Denver, CO area, I have family 'round about both places, and this may sway my decision

Arg!! I hit a skunk on the way home and I am the stinkmobile. After grouching for a few minutes, I started giggling at the thought of being at my field shift tomorrow with a Skunky van.

Hopefully the car wash will take the edge off the stink.
