What are the odds of getting on the job if you do not have residency? and are there any requirements?

[Guest]

For those interested...

I spoke to the human resource dept. They have no residency restrictions and they do not give preference to residents.

Is anyone from Westchester planning on taking this test?

[Shantz02 0]

I've been looking into it. I do have family there too, even if they dont have residency preference.

[Guest]

I was reading through the application and it says that you have to be EMT certified by time of appointment. If I was EMT certified in NY, would that satisfy the CT requirement...or would I have to take it all over again in CT?

[IzzyEng4 427]

The only residentcy issue is that you need a CT driver licens to operated apparatus.

Also, there should be no problem with the NY EMT licence. NY & CT have a rreciprosity agreement.

[Guest]

To get your EMT cert. in CT all you have to do is either go on the DOHwebsite and print out a form, fill it out and mail it in and they will send you a card or give them a call.

PS You all should visit the EMS site in Connecticut because they are not doing reciprosity with New York anymore - CT is a National Registry State in EMS

For the CPAT, I recommend going to the orientation after you sign up, if it's your first time...basically walks you through exactly what you have to do.
