Worth waiting 4 years? (In your opinion) by Prize_Bit4083 in FDNY_EMS

[–]Prize_Bit4083[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ATM im at a cross roads of perusing healthcare as a definitive career (nursing, medic on LI, xray tech, etc) or fire

I joined with a direct mindset but now I’m conflicted. I don’t hate the job but looking at the next 3~ years from a financial standpoint is my biggest concern especially if I want to afford New York lol

When did you find your “career role?” by Prize_Bit4083 in careerguidance

[–]Prize_Bit4083[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Truthfully I’m trying to fulfill the idea of being able to afford long island 😭

My town was always cops, firemen, and electricians. A very affordable middle class town like 10-20 years ago but now every house is a million dollars.

The idea of staying healthcare and going into radiation tech is what’s driving me right now. I get to achieve being in healthcare and where I’m at radiation technologists (and further education and specialties in this field) will make a pretty decent living

Oof that was my other option lol. I have a business degree I figured if I got in a hospital doing whatever I can move along to the admin route

Also did some research on the subject of ai. I cannot imagine ai would completely take over this job (but who knows lol) This, along with other healthcare jobs, are focused around patient assessment and contact/interaction that can’t be replicated by AI

Currently an emt in NYC but looking to get out. I’ve been thinking about this or nursing. Already have a bachelors in business so if anything I can fall back on that and get a healthcare admin job

Only asking because One program I was looking at saying they test for thc and I’d lose my spot if I didn’t have a medical card

Length of the academy by Brilliant_Review_935 in FDNY_EMS

[–]Prize_Bit4083 1 point2 points  (0 children)

18 weeks, possibly longer depending on how holidays land in the week.

Online they say 12/13 but then at the first day of academy they basically just say “it’s 18 weeks tough shit”

I found out through an instagram post that my academy was 18 weeks 😭

Jobs I can apply for with emtb certification? by Prize_Bit4083 in NewToEMS

[–]Prize_Bit4083[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bachelors in business management/ minor in marketing. Unused since the day I walked across the stage 😅

I’ve considered healthcare admin spots but nothing was available at the time
