iluvtofly 0 #1 December 28, 2008 So I've been wanting to move down south because that is where all my family is (split between Atlanta and North western Florida). Well, over Christmas this discussion arose and I have officially started looking for jobs down there. My sister-in-law who is a nurse is going to start talking to people she knows about helping me find a job. And, my brother and sister-in-law offered for me to stay at their house until I get a job/find a place to live. I'm stuck in PA until the end of April because that's when my lease is up but I'll probably end up moving down there just shortly after that. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

iluvtofly 0 #4 December 28, 2008 Trust me...with the way the weather is right now I would if I could. I was down there for Christmas and really didn't want to leave the 75 degree bright and sunny weather for cold and dreary PA. My main concern is finding a job down there. My sister-in-law is pretty confident that I could find a job and any one of the hospitals down there. It would be low-level for now since I don't have any real certifications (other than EMT and that's only in PA). But, I would go back to school for nursing and she said the hospitals would have tuition assistance programs. I just want to get my foot in the door.

iluvtofly 0 #18 December 29, 2008 QuoteWhat area of FLorida are you moving to and what do you do for a profession? I'll be going to Navarre, it's in the northwest up in the panhandle. Right now I'm an EMT (which doesn't transfer to FL) and soon I'll be starting insurance sales. I'm looking for something in the medical field. I would like to eventually go back to school for nursing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #19 December 29, 2008 Ahhh, Northwest FL, aka the "Redneck Riviera". Gulf Shores up through Apalachicola They got beaches of the whitest sand Nobody cares if gramma's got a tattoo Or Bubba's got a hot wing in his hand Seriously, I hope the move is exactly what you've been looking for to spice up your life a little.

dgskydive 0 #20 December 29, 2008 I used to live in Orlando and work for a company called jobing.com that is why I asked. They do not have services up that way though. Sorry. Nursing is good to get into in Florida though. I worked with a lot of HR Directors when I worked at jobing.com and they are in NEED of them. So if and when you finish nursing school you should have no trouble getting a job. I am sure you will do your homework, but watch out for the insurance sales jobs in Florida. I looked into many of them and there are a lot of really shitty jobs in that field. Check out jobing.com though they may have a company that posts in one of there other locations that has work up north though.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #21 December 29, 2008 BTW Jobing is like monster, but.... you can call and talk to them and they will actually help you get in contact with the right people. They dont just post ads online. They do a lot more for youDom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
floridadiver81 0 #22 December 29, 2008 My best advice i could give you is get a really good resume together and get it online to target companies in the area you are moving to. Being that its that far off you will have plenty of time to contact people and do your research so when the time gets closer you can narrow what you do find down to the ones that you really want to consider "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

Shepp 0 #24 December 29, 2008 Quote I'll be going to Navarre, it's in the northwest up in the panhandle. Cyndi, There are several hospitals in Pensacola (about 20 miles from Navarre): Baptist, Sacred Heart, and West Florida. They are all about 500 beds. As for ambulance services, you might look at Lifeguard International (Air & Land) or Escambia County Ambulance. One last thought - are you absolutely sure your PA-issued EMT cert won't transfer to Florida? The Florida Dept of Health (which incidentally is across the street from my office) has a webpage that mentions out-of-state certifications: Florida DOH Webpage Good Luck! PS - The panhandle is not as bad as everyone says... Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward. Accidents don't just happen. They must be carelessly planned.
