Restoration · Jun 28, 2010

They start at 15.78. Im not sure about the certification thing, they do take nursing students after a semester or two.

HI I would like to know if you currently work at mount sinai as a patient care associate and how do you like it.

Hi mymy1219, I do not work at Mount Sinai as a PCA. I am trying to get into there as one though. I am currently finishing my CNA course, I just have to do the nursing home clinical portion then take the state exam. I plan on applying there as soon as I am done. Are you a CNA?

Im doing the same thing I just finsihed my externship last week and now I have to take my state boards aug 5. Then i start my pct classes aug 8. So when i finish everything i with everthing and have all three certificates i will apply to mount sinai. I really cant wait to get into the health care field. I love it and I am happy I am taking these classes, This should give me a head start for when i get into nursing school . Good luck to you and what school are you attending for cna class.

That's great. You are in the same boat I am. Good luck to you. I took my cna class at the Manhattan Institute. I already did the Phlebotomy and EKG course there, so I just have the CNA externship left, then the boards. I can't wait til it is all over. I really want to work at Mount Sinai. It's such a great hospital, with a great reputation and benefits. More than anything I want the experience. Where did you do your CNA class?

Hi Restoration,

I was wondering if you could tell me a little more about this. I'm a nursing student at NYU and I'm starting my clinicals in the Fall. I'm on the accelerated program and I would like to have the opportunity to start working or get an internship/externship somewhere while I'm finishing my studies. Do you know if this is still going on and what are the requirements?

All info are greatly appreciated!

:). I liked my teacher, but I felt like we should have gotten more hands on training concerning the clinicals. Practicing on my own at home is different. A little pricey but it was fast, and fit my schedule. I'm just thankful its over. I'm looking forward to the nursing home externship. Anxious for boards. Mount Sinai has a lot of PCA openings and I want to put my application in, as soon as possible. Where are you taking your boards?
