Searched NYC in this category and found nothing so here goes....
Based on talking to friends and EMS personnel that frequent the facility I work at, here's my job hunting plan once I graduate EMT school in November:
1. Apply to FDNY and all local brooklyn private ambulances (transcare, seniorcare, midwood, RCA, etc.)
2. Apply to volunteer with 911 ambulances (such as Bravo) in Brooklyn for the 911 experience whenever I can, while waiting for a paid job offer
3. While waiting for FDNY, take any job offer. Transport-only ambulances I'll do part-time while keeping my primary CNA job. Transport/911 ambulances (such as transcare & seniorcare) I would do full time if they called, since I hear they can transfer you to their 911 unit with 6-12 months of initial full time transport experience.
Please advise. I want to make the best decisions with the right organizations to kick-off my EMT career.
Thanks guys!
