Nashville Fire Ems

Anyone apply to nashville EMS? Whats the hiring process like on that side?

I applied and tested last year... The process was a 25 question written test then a 1 question interview immediately after with the chief...

I received an email 2 weeks ago informing me they are "re-announcing" the Paramedic list and that they will be dropping the written test and "qualified candidates" will sit for an interview only...

and I need not re-apply...

I don't know if this is beneficial to me since i'm still on a somewhat shorter end of the list, or if this is just more smoke and mirrors to get people they want in there... I work downtown in Nashville and talk to EMS guys all the time and most of them say it takes quite a long time to get on. One told me "It's like getting on with The Mafia" lol... we'll see

Same thing for me. Just like detroitmedic said. Make sure they have a copy of your current license.

Thanks for the responses and info. I have already turned in my app and am waiting for a testing email. Hate the waiting game. Lol
