I am currently in my last semester of nursing school (2 year program, planning to pursue my BSN after graduating). I think when I graduate, I might have a job guaranteed for me at the hospital I currently work at (I am a CNA right now) and I have a family member who can help me. I plan to get a license here in New Jersey, but I also want to work per diem in NYC, preferrably in a nursing home. Anyone know of any good nursing homes in NYC? And how is the job market there for new grads? How about hospitals?
And btw since I plan to get a NJ license, how does the process of reciprocity go? My cousin has a NJ license and he current is applying to work in NY as well. He was telling me that you need to show that you're applying to an NY hospital/LTC and then they will give you a temporary license till they officially give you the real license.
Why not a nursing home in NJ where you already have your license? I mean it's your choice, but I personally would get a per diem gig and nursing home job in the state that I'm licensed so as to avoid the endorsement fee AND the NY taxes.
