NYC CNA's

[/quote] I need a chill pill because I swear I am dreaming.. [/quote]



I remember this day.... seems like sooo long ago! I read and reread the NYS website... just wanted to see the words "YES YOU PASSED" but didn't! instead saw my cert # and an expiration date and it did seem like a dream!! I was jumping up and down in my apartment by myself!!! trying to catch my breath and trying to call as many people as I could too! It was a crazy day!!

I hope all of you who haven't taken the exam yet can have this same awesome crazy feeling soon!!!

Hi All,

I'm starting my classes in two weeks and lookin forward to learning I am a little concerned about the hiring climate but try to keep a positive attitude. I want to know, is the state board exam hard and any pointers will be a big help!! BTW I'm taking CNA courses at Access Careers in Kew Gardens, Queens. I'm also lookin to go for LPN t LaGuardia College any advice will be great. 

I took a Patient Care Tech course in another state and I've noticed that Kingsborough Community College's Patient Care Tech program seems to cover quite a few programs not taught in the course I took. Would it be helpful in finding hospital employment if I took those classes at Kingsborough? Do hospitals even look at that kind of thing?

Hi all, I recently registered for the CNA program at Hostos Community College starting on the 9th, and was wondering if anyone had taken this course at this college before? Thanks.

good luck to all of you. Things seem to happen in waves so I am sure it will get better (job market) If you don't mind me asking, how much does a cna make in NYC?

The hospital (NYC) I used to work for almost two yrs ago started me at 15.97. My ending pay rate was close to 17.00. Hope this helps.

I think this is the typical pay for cna in nyc. I am not sure of the nursing homes though as far starting pay , I would assume it would be around 15?
