Do you know when they start the interview process? Is it during the summer months?

By the way, I was a PN before becoming an RN.

Cnet's last exam was Sat., 5/19 and those test
results should be going out soon.
Would you let me know when you receive your
letter about the "next step" in the screening process?
I'll do the same. Thank you.

I've decided to go to LIU for my BSN but I will certainly let you know when they contact me.

Well, today I got my lettter for the next phase and it is....DUM, DUM, DUM....another test....it is an adult basic education exam and they are also asking that I have a physical exam, and bring current documents to the exam. The NYC HHC will also be there to conduct financial screenings for scholarships...and something else leading to employment with the HHC...

If you accept a "scholarship" from HHC they are going to want you to sign a 2year contract with them. I know that their current employees receive their salary as well as have their tuition (books too) covered by HHC in exchange for 2 years service.

One Caveat if you are thinking about signing a contract with HHC....the pay stinks. Currently HHC's starting salary for LPN's is $37k annually about $20.50for a 35 hour work week.
