I work as a per diem CNA at LISVH. I make 14.35/hr. PT and FT make a little less because they get benefits. I think SBUH CNAs also make around the same amount.

Specializes in CNA in LTC, Hospital.

I am also interested in the cna program at lisvh. student nurse said he/she took the class there. I was wondering what time it is offered. I have heard nights, 8:30-4:30, and 7:30- 3:30. I am just asking b/c of my transportation issues. also was this program hard to get into? Thanks:)

I am having the hardest time getting a full time job. I am in a career change. I was a mortgage professional for 26 years, I got my CNA in June, I am hoping to get into SUNY Farmingdale Nursing program by 2011. I need to take prerequisits first. I am 57 so time is of the essence for me. I must have sent out 100 resumes. I was hired part time weekends at Our Lady Of Consolation and Holly Patterson, I obviously can't take both. From origional interview to orientation for HP was 3 mos, for OLC it is 6 weeks. Biggest problem I have. If I take the weekend part time job, no benefits because it is 16 hours, I can't even work per diem anywhere else becuase a per diem position has mandatory weekends. How do you get a full time job as a CNA, do you have to work part time and take home health care positions, until you get the 1-2 years experience required? I am respnsible conscientious, smart, caring. I have seen many CNAs in hospitals and I wonder how they ever got hired. Many are great but some are really not. Does anyone have any tips on how to get hired?

Our Lady of Consolation in West Islip hired me part time 16.62 per hour 16 hours per week. Best job I could get without experience

Do you know how long you would have to work there before they would help you go to school for lpn or anything else???I'm taking cna classes and after I would like to go for my lpn or rn which would they assist with??

I am pretty sure it is 6 mos-1yr, most likely 1 year, They are partners with Suffolk Community College, for lpn-rn program. The hard part is getting an LPN. I am trying to find a school, that I can get into without biology math and chemistry, Boces is the only one and they are not flexilble. Farmingdale College has 12 month lpn program. But there is a waiting list and not all are accepted. You need Bio, Chem and Math
