Hi all, I got an email for a digital interview with Montefiore, which I did today. It was interesting and new to me since I'm not used to interviewing with a camera as opposed to an actual person. Has anyone does this before? Also what is the pay rate for LPNs and what type of setting do they usually work in? Thanks in advance!

Wow I'm a LPN and I make $28/hr with a homecare case, so that seems pretty low for a RN. With that said, I would take it because pre op is great experience! And after a year or two you can move on to a higher paying job, like double that salary. A friend of mine just got a job at a hospital in the bronx, 88k salary, with night shift and BSN differential. If you decide not to take it, I would suggest checking out work force one's RN transition to practice program through Lehman college, where they train you for 6 months in class and working at a hosptal and usually once you're done you get hired on staff at one of their hospitals. That's how my friend got her job. The only issue I heard was that they take a loonnggg time to pay you your stipend. But other than that she enjoyed her time there. Good luck!
