  1. Hey E 38th St! I'm further west than that but not far. I've been doing some looking, went to the open house for the BMCC EMT-B program. I'll do some checking around. I definitely don't mean to be talking badly on anybody, or any volunteer companies; I'm just trying to figure out how to reconcile all the different, sometimes conflicting info. Getting oriented is always hard with something new. At any rate, thanks a bunch, -A
  2. I'm in Ditmas Park/Flatbush (depends who you ask!) off the Q train. I'll give the District 4 guy an email. Do you have any sense of that volunteer vs. transport dilemma for a new EMT? Some of the other threads here indicate that not all volunteer services are created equal. I don't want to ask you to talk bad on anyone - hello, impolitic! - but I want to make sure that as much as possible I'm learning from the best. Thanks a ton, -A
  3. Hey, I'm in Brooklyn, work in Manhattan. I'd love to hear your ideas. It seems like there is this cycle of "well, volunteer services suck for best practices, but transport means no skill use, but good luck getting a good job without experience, and to get experience you need to do a volunteer run or a transport..." If you knew of good volunteer options I would love to hear them. I was considering the Park Slope one because of train proximity but am open to elsewhere. You can email me at arielfederow@gmail.com or if you prefer board messages I'll figure that out. Thanks!
  4. Hi everybody, I wanted to say hi - I'm in NYC, thinking of getting my EMT-B. Seduced by some of the programs for free/low-cost options for women getting into it, worried about some of what I am hearing re: difficulty for getting a first job, especially right out of school - and especially as someone who doesn't have a car (does have a license) and would have a hard time getting somewhere far away. Debating something like doing EMT + also going for ambulance driving...boost that resume time. Anyways, this board is clearly an amazing resource, and I imagine I'll continue to lurk as I figure it out. Cheers, -A
