I'm currently taking my EMT-B training right now. I want to find a volunteer unit I can begin to work with either doing ride alongs, driving or anything I can do to help get my feet wet. I've heard of Bayside, Central Park and Corona Units, but no one answered their phone or responded to my voicemail. I currently have a NYS Driving License; American Red Cross CPR/AED for the Professional Rescuer and Lifeguard/First Aid. I expect to graduate and be a certified EMT-B in May. So if anyone has any suggestions or has done this before any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Back after a year or so hiatus!! Well, I finally started my EMT-B training in NYC. While I'm still in school I'm looking for a volunteer unit I can get involved in and hopefully start training and working as soon as possible. I'm assuming they'll only have me driving, but any experience is going to be good once looking for a serious paying job.

Has anyone recently attended or graduated from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in NYC? I plan on attending there in the fall and I would like to know if there are any programs that help with EMT trainings/services. I know there is a Fire and Emergency Services major for paramedics, but is there anything else. I heard the FDNYrepresentative saying that they have a program where they train you to be an EMT, while you are still in school full time since it is across the street from St. Lukes hospital.[/font:6ee919b616]
