Anyone know of any rumors if the FDNY will hire paramedics, or just promote EMTs? I have heard conflicting things

Apparently you have to come in as an EMT now and wait for your upgrade, no exceptions.
If it is your life mission, then you will do what you must.

I guess you can work as a paramedic on your off days somewhere.

From my understanding they will be doing a cadet class for the summer class, which is a completely different list

If that happens, what can we do. As long as I don’t get a DQ letter for any reason, and I have to wait, I don’t mind. It goes by fast.

Exam #7031
List #: 3XX

I took the PAT and was given the packet to fill out but I'm still confused as to what is suppose to happen next?
Do i just wait for a call or letter in the mail?

A investigator assigned to you will call you to make a appointment for intake. I think mine called me a little before two weeks after I did the PAT.

I appreciate the info.
I haven't received a call or letter yet. Is it normal to take this long? Should i follow up?

Just be patient, someone mentioned in one of the posts from the past that as long as you passed your PAT you will get called. They'll get to you. Make sure to fill out all your paperwork and gather everything that way when your investigator calls you'll be ready. I got a call 3 weeks after I passed my PAT and I scheduled my intake interview a week after because I was ready with everything,but my investigator said I could have scheduled my interview any date as long as its not more than 3 weeks.

Hey guys recently took my medical a couple weeks ago, I know “no news is good news”, but any idea how long does it take to be like officially through my paper work or a rough estimate?

If you did the PAT, intake, medical and psych and passed everything and as long as they are not requesting anything your pretty much done. It’s just the wait.

Can anyone tell me how long the PAT usually takes?

I'm scheduled to take it within a few weeks and I wanted to know if it was like a 30mins - an hour thing or an 8 hour thing?

Also besides the 4 tests and some paperwork (hence bring a black pen) is there any thing else I should expect?

Thanks.

If i remember correctly...
You are given a overview of the hiring process / Take the Urine test / PAT
I felt like the whole process took almost 2 hours
