A few questions please, sorry to ask so many questions but I need answers if you can help pls:
1. What do you mean tour 2 can start anywhere between 0600-0900? Do you mean that "tour 2" starts at different times for each station? I thought tour 2 was like 00:00-08:00 for every ems station in nyc.
2. Does your dream sheet only allow you to pick your only your preferred borough or can you pick your preferred station as well?
3. Last question, I know fdny does mandatory overtime.. say you are usually tour 2, 00:00-08:00 and you get mandatory overtime, 08:00-16:00, do you still have to report for your regular tour again at the next 00:00 after completing the mandatory overtime or do you have off since you worked an extra shift? How does it work
1. Tours are separated by morning, afternoon, or evening not set start time. For example tour 2 can start at 6 or 8am. Everything is determined by the needs of the department.
2. Dream sheet allows you to choose boroughs in order you would like, not stations and its not guaranteed.
3. Being mandated means you are required to work the ot, does not relieve you from your regular hours. Most stations try their best to not mandate, they usually ask around first to fill the hole.

Currently in the academy. Ride alongs start today 8/1. They said the next class should be going in around 3-4 days after we graduate so that would be on or around October 1st. We are actually doing 12 rotations this academy. 11 on the street and one at emd.

Thanks for your answers. Just to clarify, are you saying for question #1, that even though I am technically on "tour 2", I may be scheduled to work 0600 today and 0800 tomorrow and 0700 another day? And what are the boundaries that fdny sets as to what is morning, afternoon, etc? For example would morning be [0600-1100] and afternoon would be [1200-1700]?
And for question 3, so even if I worked 16 hours straight, I would still have to report for my regular scheduled tour? isn't that illegal or something?
You get a monthly schedule and the start time is the same everyday u work.
If you work 8am-4pm and they mandate you 4pm-12am that's 16 hrs, but your next tour 8am-4pm have a 8 hr gap from 12am-8am. They cannot mandate you you are working a double though.

You guys don't need to worry about getting mandated right now lol. Concentrate on getting in the academy first.. I've only been mandated twice as a "probie" every division/station is different. Don't stress.... think of the $$$$

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.
