An article I read about NYC planning to charge up to a million per 911 provider hospitals in 2012 prompted me to call my cousin, who is married to a FDNY EMS Capt, and also works per diem at North Shore LIJ. The thread:

She said it's true, and that NSLIJ isn't going to pay them anything. They're expanding their IFT, they have 911 contracts in Nassau County, and they also get a lot of emergent calls on their private line, instead of these pts calling 911. She said the're expanding, and need to hire. I would apply now. It certainly pays better than the pprivates, better benefits, wirking conditions, etc.
