  13. BMCC 2020

    Since you'll already have a four year degree, it serves no purpose getting an ADN now that NYS has passed the "BSN in Ten" requirement. You are far better off just going for a second degree/accelerated RN program and be done with things. On average ...
  14. NYP Weil-Cornell non union

    Cannot give specific answers to your queries, but can answer at least one general. When Columbia Presbyterian and New York Hospital/Cornell merged the places that were union remained, and those that weren't largely did not. IIRC New York Hospital wa...
