Need IV Access/Phelobotomy Classes

I know with me we weren't taught IV access in school - all of the instruction I received was when I was hired at a hospital. Perhaps broaden your surroundings with hospitals and extend the commute? I have no idea where you can get IV training other than that, sorry. :-(

Is there a reason you don't want to be hired at a hospital? Then you can get the IV access class while being an employee. You can always quit later if it's too far or doesn't pay well.

Don't waste your money. Any hospital that will hire and orient you will also pay for you to attend IV classes, etc.

There's no point of having that training now, when you won't get to use it until you get into the hospital, at which point they'll pay for it.....

It also won't make you more "hire-able".... come across the Hudson to NYC.... we need nurses!

Not sure about Cabrini.... I know a few of Lenox Hill's smaller sister hospitals have closed recently. I work for NY Presbyterian. I applied last Feb, and was hired in March. NYP's hospitals in NYC include Columbia Presbyterian just across the GWB, or Cornell, on the Upper East Side. You could also work at the Allen Pavilion, but it's a smaller "community" hospital all the way at the top of Manhattan. I commute to Columbia Pres via NJTransit and occasionally drive in from Central NJ. It takes me 1-1:15 hrs to get to/from work. Tolls and gas are expensive, which is why I'm taking the train more. PM me if you want more info on NYP.
