FDNY EMS Candidates

Depends on what borough you work. There is a list of conflict of interest hospitals which will tell you what places you're allowed to work a side job at.

I appreciate that. I’m hoping to get my residential borough but I don’t think it’ll happen.

Question, for those who are within the department already. Is it possible to work per diem at a hospital, for instance Mount Sinai or Presby?

As long as it is not in the same boro you are stationed at. IE if you are stationed in NYC then U can work for a hospital in Bklyn, Bronx, queens, Staten island. if you are stationed in BKLYN then U can work in Manhattan, Bronx etc. Conflict of work interest.

Can anyone just give a quick explanation on AM & PM class. The times you start, how early you got there, and any pro or con with one over the other?

AM is tour 2 from 0700-1500, PM is tour 3 1500/1530-2300ish I think. I'm in tour 2 and during the refresher portion 90% of us got there at 6am for the review session, since then I've been getting there around 0630 for 0700 roll call. AM does PT at the end of our day and PM does it at the beginning. Since I've only done tour 2 I can't really give you much info on tour 3 but it basically just comes down to preference

Hey everyone,

I applied to Exam No. 7014 (EMS Trainee). I know this is for individuals who have no experience or carry an EMT cert. However, I carry both an EMT cert. and I am a Medic in the Army Reserves (almost 5 years now) am I hurting my chances of getting called because this is a trainee program? Thank you to anyone who can answer my question.

I don't think you will qualify as it is only for people without EMT certs

If you did all your exams and havent heard back from any of them. Does that mean you passed them? Or can you still be disqualified?

Not sure what you mean by this? If you're talking about the civil service test all you need is your cert to pass, if you're talking about the hiring process less is better. If you're disqualified you'll get a letter. The hiring process can take up to 2 years from when you apply to being hired so there are extended gaps between each stage

With the medical, if you're considered overweight and have to comeback to reweigh, do you have to do the whole medical process again or they just check your weight and that's it?

They scheduled my medical and psych on the same day.
From what I've been reading this is gonna be one hell of a long day

It's not as awful as it seems or sounds. I was out in about 4 hours. If you work around the lines it's not so bad. Only thing that sucks is the pulmonary test

You were out in 4 hours doing both medical and psych?

Also, what does the medical entail? The letter barely gave any info.
Am I going to have to do the stair climb again because it told me to wear workout clothes

 

[Cenzo22]

My psych test took me about 2 1/2- 3 hours. Then my medical took me about 5-6. That considering FDNY captains and retired firefighters were able to skip the lines. And you do not do the stair master again
