hey everyone. I am looking for LPN programs somewhere in the city. Ive found the VEEB program but its in Long Island and i dont want that to be my only option. Hopefully once i become a LPN i want to be a NICU RN or a pediatric nurse. Any suggestions on LPN or RN schools will be very helpful and i would greatly appreciate it :)

Hello Tatiana.Lewis08, the CUNY's offer the best deal for monies. There's cuny: bronx community college, queensboro, laguardia and borough of manhattan community colellege. THe private colleges are very expensive. I went to laguardia and wrote a post up on it for nursing so take a look at this link: https://allnurses.com/new-york-state/laguardia-community-college-703984.html
If attending private colleges make sure they're legit as in they're listed in the board of nursing state of new york. If a school promises that you can do it online = fake. You can only do online nursing if you already hold an RN license.

Moved to NY State Nursing Programs to elicit more response. Good luck.

HHC and the DOE offer it once a year for $2500 or free is you get the scholarship. They have 3 locations Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Roosevelt Island. Check the NYC.gov website for more info.
Also google or bing office of professions and get a listing of nursing programs in NYC from HHA all the way to RN. I would suggest you cross reference any RN programs with NLN website to see if they're accredited or at the least listed for candidacy.
Hope this help and best of luck :-)
