Hey there, NYCer here, too!
In terms of the LPN salary you can easily google and find the answer. In general, I have heard it varies anywhere between $30000 to $50000 per year depending on which establishment you work at. I also heard that many hospitals do not hire LPNs anymore, so I suggest that before you apply to LPN school and spend money paying for it, research, research, research! A question, why not going for your LPN? It does take longer, and more skills will be required as well as accountability and such, but RNs have much higher prospects at employment, not to mention the salary! But if you do still want to do LPN, I know LaGuardia CC has a fantastic LPN program! I know you live in Brooklyn so traveling to Queens might be a hassle, so check out Medgar Evers College, Brooklyn College or City Tech. Btw, City Tech has a nice ASN program as well.

I currently work in the human service field and now I am looking into becoming an LPN. I reside in Brooklyn, NY and I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good LPN program within the five boroughs of NYC? Also, what is the starting salary for LPN's in NYC as a new graduate?
Thanks!
