I hope I'm not starting a topic that has already been addressed. I filed for FDNY EMT back in September and I was curious if anyone knew when they will release a list and start mailing it out. I've seen a little bit of info on other forums about this hiring cycle, but nothing about when we will...

I've been looking around the internet trying to find some information on the BEMS hiring process. I've been in contact with a recruiter and he told me to go ahead and fill out an app even though they are not hiring. Just curious if anyone could tell me what the hiring process is like (written...

Anyone had any recent experience applying for FDNY EMS? I am a junior in college and I would like to apply. However I don't want to get summoned to the EMS academy in the middle of my senior year (if I was chosen) so I was just curious how long it has taken for others before so I know when...

This is my greatest fear, that I will appear unprofessional and lose the respect of my peers and look like a tool. As a result I think I am becoming somewhat of a minimalist, I carry only my crackberry, keys, wallet, gloves and my pager on my person. My car only has my seldom used blue light but...

I would really like to volunteer my skills since I am currently not employed as an EMT-B and I think its something very worthwhile to do. The MRC seems very self explanatory and very easy to join (there is one in my hometown), but I have had a hard time finding info on joining the MA/Boston...

My class started with 28 people, we lost one kid on our first day and I think only 24 people passed the class. I don't know how many others went on to get certified. Just curious what the attrition rate in other people's classes was.

I am a new EMT-B in Massachusetts, but I currently spend most of my year in NY at my college. This presents a problem for me because I would like to go home and take Con Ed classes and refreshers courses, but I am only home like 5-6 weeks on and off during breaks throughout the year. I...

A few months back while i was still in class for my EMT-B cert, my instructors told me about how AMR was contracted to provide EMS to the disaster areas of Hurricane Katrina and Rita. I took my class at AMR, and most of my instructors had actually gone down south to help with the recovery...

At my VFD we were all told that we had to take the IS-100 online FEMA course as a requirement. I was curious how many others here have had to do it (I understand it is pretty quick) and what other online FEMA courses people have completed? Would any of them be helpful looking for a job? Although...

I am a member of a volunteer FD and was told this story of a call that we responded to a few years ago involving a quite uncommon emergency. Unfortunately the person telling me the story did not remember the treatment for the pts because a paramedic ambulance arrived on scene quickly, and I was...
