FDNY EMS Candidates

[kettlebell]

Anyone know about exam 4004? I'm done with everything (physical, psychological, medical, investigator) I just received my medical results in the mail with everything good to go. I did get a call from a nurse saying I need a cat scan because they saw a "shadow" on my chest x-ray. Will this hold me back from getting called for the next adademy?

What's my chances of getting called for the April class? My list # is 7xx. Thanks.

Chances are they will not push your application through till they have that CAT scan. You probably only have a few weeks at best to get those results to Metro Tech If you what a chance at the April academy.

So what is the timeline normally like after the physical? What estimates and opinions are people having about being picked up in a class?

Im in the 1300's everything completed and I was told im medically cleared , any chances i'll get in Aprils academy ? I hope so

 

[MattyMalverne655]

Your prob looking at july. They are only at the Low 700s for April

 

[FDHOPEFUL33]

Any updates with physicals for the 5003 guys? My buddy is 1100s and was told by his investigator he'll be in April academy. Anybody else get mail for physical after list number 100..

 

[Mugs89]

I'm in the 1200's, so I was set on July. However since the new budget, how many #s they went thru to fill the last class, and rumors of 2 academies, I like our chances for April.

 

[Hunter118]

How many people that's on 4004 yet that have not received the call yet are on outstanding certification when you call DCAS ? Im outstanding

 

[Mugs89]

Ya, I'm outstanding now too. A few weeks ago I was not outstanding.

 

[Reyna]

It will. Back in the day they would take any EMT or medic, and they got burned, now you cannot have lateness, absent or CD,NOI on your record. Also, there's too much of a turnout with people, waste of money. You wanna be an EMT, apply. Wanna be fire, take the fire open competitive, don't use ems as a stepping Stone, two separate careers.

I agree!!!

Hey everyone I'm new here. I got my list number last week 7XX for exam 5003. Been reading all of this for a while, finally made an account.[/QUO

What mugs said made a lot of sense, there should be 2 academy classes in April but we don't know if they will do a repeat of the two jan classes. One emd and one both EMT and emd

There will not be another EMD class. That was just an experiment to see if it works. But that doesn't mean that Aprils class will all be going to the streets. Some still might end up going to EMD upon graduation

To see if what works? Where did you hear that.

 

[Hunter118]

I want to say our chances of landing in April are high if we have nothing holding us back let's hope and see if not april def july

The FDNY took candidates off the list and sent them straight to EMD without going through the academy. That was used for staffing purposes at EMD. It was also an experiment to see if they can staff civilians at EMD. Emd has to meet a quota of 143 new employees by the start of April, this is why the FDNY did that. Also about half of this January class will be sent up to EMD right after the academy. There will not be anymore candidates coming off the list going straight to EMD as of right now. So Aprils class will most likely be going to the streets unless of course people choose to work at EMD

What exactly is the process after we receive our letters? (The letter after our list number)

At emd rotation, we were told they want to make it a separate civil exam, like fire dispatchers

[Mugs89]

Lukgiel, is your class done with the academy this week? If you started Jan 12, it would be 10 weeks, this week right?
