Hi Lynn, I know what you mean. My relatives and friends are in Brooklyn. 7 hours by car seems kinda far to visit them on weekends. By the time I get there the weekend would be over:)

Hi Isearl, I appretiate your help very much. I found it on the map, but it is very far from Brooklyn. Do you know anything closer to the city? Perhaps Westchester, Orange, or Rockland couty? If I don't find anything closer to the city, I will go to Allegany. thanks again marina

Hi, I am not sure about the process right now. Contact a state board of nursing in NY, and they will help you. http://www.op.nysed.gov/nurse.htm

BTW, LIU pays $10+ for work study or being a mentor, while nurses aid is physically demanding job.

$12-$14/hour I believe nursing homes pay less and hospitals a bit more, but I think it depends on institution. Would you have time to do that with 2 degrees? It requires commitment to several days a week. If part time, they will ask you to do weekends. marina

I highly recommend you to stay at the school you are in right now. I don't know much of colleges you listed. I know many people who went to Kingsborough and Hunter, and they weren't happy. They said the program is too compatitive and intense. I studied at Hunter, and I didn't like it. I know several people who graduated from NYC tech. They passed NCLEX from the first time, and said they liked the program. Let's be honest, no nursing school will prepare you to work environment. So, you might as well pick one where majority of staff are pleasant and helpful. I think it promotes learning unlike other schools where you always afraid to be dropped from the program.

thanks for the info. marina

Hi Isearl, I live in Brooklyn, but I can travel anywhere in NY. thanks marina

Hi renerian, I am looking for a job and clinicals. So far, no home health agency would provide it even when I tell them I will work for them. I am licensed in NY and FL. I made about 20 calls and no luck. I am running out of options. I would greatly appretiate any help.

Hi everybody. I am completing RN-BSN online in University of Wyoming, and I need to take practicum in the last cemester. I have to find a home health agency that could provide preceptor 1 on 1 in home setting including MCH. I have NY and FL RN license, and can do practicum in either state. So far I didn't find any agency who provides practicum. Does anyone has any information on this subject? Btw, I am thinking of relocating to Florida. Anyone can recommend friendly environment hospital in Boca, Ft Lauderdale, Delray Beach or nearby areas? thanks marina
