Any of the health care workers on here care to lend me some assistance?

I could do that (although not my first choice).....anybody mind renting me a room? Is that what you do Colin (you said based on experience)?

Most of the hospitals in FL mentioned here are clients of mine You might want to check out ABSOLUTELY HEALTH CARE and see what jobs are posted for FL + it's free for candidates.

PS: This is not a business plug just a helpful hint

Thanks for the info.....that site has a few good listings but is very hard to navigate (you look at a job posting and you loose all of the search results and have to start over) That's kind of a pain.....

Anybody else have any other suggestions? I've got a few things to check out tomorrow, but more would be better.

Actually I am an Intermediate EMT. The only problem I have is that I don't have National Registry for it or for Basic EMT. Since I took the class more than 2 years ago, in order to sit for the NREMT exams I would have to sit through a refresher course (which is not offered (at least publicly- I know some fire departments offer it to their people who fail the test, but it's closed to "outsiders") here in Indiana where I am at now). I was told the NREMT was a requirement to get your license in Florida (correct me if I am wrong).

The other problem I have is that I am practically broke (I've spent the past 9 months working for my family taking care of my grandfather and the pay was spotty at best) which is why I was looking for a temp/seasonal job which would provide me a place to stay (I know they do this for nurses during the winter at some hospitals and I have been told they do it for RT's too.)

I appreciate everyone's help. It's been nice to see that there are still people out there who care enough to try to help someone in need.

Yes you need your NREMT to sit for the Florida test sorry. But that just started a few years ago. When I became a medic 15yrs ago things were alot easier. My advise is see if you can borrow the money to sit for the refresher course and take it to florida.
