I think that Corpus Christi is a good choice...I saw online that there is a big push there now with the goal to have 50+ percent of the residents wearing shoes within 5 years. Lofty I know, but hey...people need to dream..

If you can swing it, you should come to the Texas EMS Conference scheduled the week of Thanksgiving to do some face-to-face networking.

I would love to but there's no way I'd be able to get out of work for that weekend.

Also, by Abilene I take it you're referring to MetroCare? Looking it up I saw an article from July that said that the city was proposing to drop Metro to have their own Fire Department to take over the 9-1-1 service.

Ny2tx, welcome to the city AND to Texas. Any particular place you are looking?

Thank you.

Actually, I WAS looking down by the Corpus Christi area (Rockport-Fulton to be exact--I'm in love with the area) but there seems to be few and far places to work down there. I was told Aransas County had lost 2 medics a couple weeks ago so I sent my resume and a app but no reply even to a follow-up email.

So I might end up elsewhere as I can't just "live off the land." Only areas I haven't placed any apps/resumes yet is west of Austin (El Paso, Odessa, Amarillo, Midland, Lubbock, etc.)

Hello,

Been in EMS since '02 where I spent my first six years in EMS in the Pittsburgh area. While there I went from EMT to Paramedic then in '06 I moved back to the Long Island, got NYC REMAC credentialed, and been working critical care transports for over four years now.

In the next couple of months I'll be moving again as I've begun the process of looking for a new job . . . in Texas. Strangely, I've been thinking about Texas since I was in medic class oh so long ago and now am finally making the move. I've put in over two dozen apps/resumes over the past couple of weeks and will continue to do so as I play the waiting game.

*fingers crossed*
