Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum and hope that this is being posted in the right area. Help me out if it's not. I have a few questions regarding recertification and stuff like that. MY NYS Paramedic cert expired about 10 years ago when I got hired and took my current job with the NYPD.(PO) I am considering getting back into EMS b/c I love it and miss it a lot. Would I have to take the BLS course all over again and then the EMT-P course? Or can I challenge( I would do terrible btw)? I have no idea what my emt # was and lost all of my documents b/c I have since moves several times. I forgot a whole lot since then and I know it would be best to start all over bc so much has changed, but I just want to know my options. A little about me, I started with Metro North Ambulance (remember those purple buses lol) and finished doing mostly transports as a medic with Transcare the occasional emergency job sometimes. I took my basic at OLM hospital and my medic at WCC. Please be gentle on the new guy. Flame suit on. Thanks,

Cool. Thanks for helping me out. How hard is it to get hired as a EMT? I remeber it being pretty easy 10 years ago. Has anything changed? Are there any companies to stay away from? How would I get involved with 911? Thanks again
