STOP THE YELLING!

I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE SO EXCITED ABOUT!

WHY ARE YOU EXITED?

YOU SHOULD CALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN CHARGE OF THE EXAM AND ASK FOR AN UPDATE!

And find me a Tylenol. All this excitement made my head hurt.

 

[firecoins]

what number did you get on the civil service exam?

They have been calling people.

I waited a year when I got hired 3 years ago.

Others nowadays have waited over 1.5 years.

Also, if you haven't done the physical yet you can realistically expect another year of waiting...

[RustyShackleford]

Was there a grammar section to this test? Maybe you didn't score that well on it.....

 

[helperofmankind]

Sorry, I just found out that typing in uppercases means that you're screaming. Was not my intention. I passed the civil service test and I am 1176. I have called to gain more information, but all I keep getting is, we can not tell you when you will be called and how long you will have to wait. Its so frustrating to do more with your life when people drag their feet to help. Sigh*

My friend was number <100. Just took his physical 2 weeks ago.

My advice to you, apply at a hospital agency for now or get into a medic program.

Hiring as a medic is 10x faster than EMT.

This ^^^^^^

I got lucky and was hired by a hospital after doing seven months at Hunter Ambulance, but that was back in 2002-2003. Get your medic w/ NatReg, and begin to explore out of state employment options in case the job isn't what you expected if and when you get into FDNY EMS.

There's too many EMT-B's circulating nowadays. You need to make yourself more marketable by getting your ALS. This is true in most parts of the country.

100?

Seriously? 2 weeks ago? OMG!!! Why do that to people? If NY is behind in money and resources why hold an exam for civil service and have people wait around like morons? Uuugggghhhhh:angry::censored::glare::unsure::huh:

You clearly have never dealt with a municipality before.

The hiring process for any civil service position is extensive.

There is an EMT academy going in on July 16 as long as te budget prevails. That class is still being hired off the list before yours.

The city continues to hire EMTs and Medics because it is planning to move 300+ of them to the fire suppression side in the hopefully near future. (for my sake)

Seriously man, look into a medic program. They don't want EMTs that badly.

Do you need a fire academy to be a paramedic with FDNY?

 

[NYMedic828]

Do you need a fire academy to be a paramedic with FDNY?

No. We are two separate entities under one organization.

There is an EMS academy.

 

[Amberlamps916]

I almost cried just now. I would be willing to relocate to NY for a chance at NYFD EMS. Where I am in California, I don't like the idea of going through a fire academy to be a fire-medic when I have no desire to fight fires.
