Okay here's a question, is it possible to do fdny ems daytime and night medic school on the outside? Has any one in fdny ever done it successfully?

It's been done.
But you will be very, very miserable.
 
Does anybody know what types of questions they ask on the psych? Drug questions? If you've ever thought about killing someone questions? I'm just trying to figure this out out of curiosity lol

Hey so I hope I can help out people with expiring cards, for right now and canidets in the future because its not covered on this fourm. I think Fernando is right, I called the academy (718)352-2398 this morning and whoever answered the phone said you just haveto have a card at the start of your class, you dont need it during the class. Im just confused about it because while your doing rotations you are practicing as an EMT-B on a state certified BLS bus, which its state law you NEED an active bls card. I was ganna ask him about that but he seemed annoyed at my question and seemed very confident in his answer that you dont need a valid card throughout. Its as if he has gotten that question alot and has become bothered answering it. I guess as long as you take all the tests and pass the state written/practical its no questions asked, you just get a new card and move on. Good luck everyone July is right around the corner.

My investigator told me 2-4 weeks before the academy starts.... sometimes the day before the academy starts in different situations
 
Hopefully we get calls 4 weeks in advance... I need to do a lot of planning with my current employer lol

Hey is it normal for our folders to be given to a different investigator? I don't know if I should be concerned or its just a part of the process

Yep totally normal they go to senior investigators to make sure everything is good to go and that you're fully cleared for the academy

I haven't heard anything from my investigator or anything on like 3/4 months. Should I just assume everything is good or should I ask my investigator what's going on? List #11** on exam 5003

Yea man same here, last time I talked to her was 3 months ago. I called dcas and it says im "outstanding" so if I have never gotten a call, DQ letter, and im still outstanding I guess im in the clear?

Do you know if your investigator handed off your file to his or her supervisor yet? If so, that is a good sign, but pretty early for that to happen. Usually 3-4 weeks before u get the call the supervisor will get your file.

My file was handed to one of the senior investigators. She had contacted me recently for an updated statement about a motor vehicle incident I was involved in because the first one was no good.... (not enough details)
