Areas to work in

[emt217]

I'll be finishing medic class in 10 weeks, and am beginning to look for interesting, progressive areas to work in. Yes, I may be jumping the gun a bit, but I like to try and plan ahead, as well as gain all info I can before making any decision. I've looked in the Carolina's, and found a few interesting services. I'd love to move back to Florida, but I don't think there are many services that aren't fire based.

So I'm turning to you guys.

I read this site extensively, even if I don't post much (sometimes I don't feel intelligent enough to!)

Any and all replies/suggestions welcome.

I'm looking for a fairly progressive system where I can use what I've learned. And after pulling 8 years BLS duty in West Virginia,

this isn't the place for me. I don't mind the occasional renal or physician run,as these patients are as needing of our services as anyone else,

but I don't wanna be an ALS dialysis transport forever, if you know what I mean.

Three services to look into...

North Carolina

Charlotte- MEDIC

Wake County EMS

Florida

Lee County EMS They are not currently accepting applications, although you should probably know about this service for the future.

Matty, What? No Wayne County?

Forsyth County EMS in Winston Salem NC is a decent place to work from what I have been told.

LOL. No Pitt Co. either.

I will also recommend this one, out in the boonies, but non the less a very 'from all I can gather' great system.

Duplin County EMS

Is that close enough to Wayne for ya Jake?

Better than Lenoir. LOL

I think Duplin, Pender, New Hanover are all good systems. The two you mentioned in your first post though are, in my opinion, the best in the State. Just sayin.

Albuquerque Ambulance is regarded highly by most people I've talked to, but the system that it's in is a little odd with potentially lots of medics on one scene.

Other systems are Ruidoso EMS here in NM. You might find a few more progressives out west.

I suggest perusing the 15 or so similar threads.
