Dozens of Nursing Schools Train RNs and LPNs in New York

Earn Your Degree and Grab a Long and Rewarding Job

New York is fertile ground for a nursing career. You can find work in the city or you can venture out into rural Upstate New York and find just as big a demand for well-educated nurses. Listed below are dozens of accredited nursing schools, all located in New York. What's really amazing is that beyond these options you also have many more dozen online nursing schools that offer an even larger selection of specialties and many just as good as their campus-based counterparts.

Fast-track to a new nursing career

New nurses and career changers, your absolute fastest avenue to a solid job is either via a technical school or community college. But an important distinction must be made:

Technical and vocational colleges provide diploma and practical nurse programs. The practical nurse track is a lead in to the LPN licensure. Opt for this nursing program and you can be in a good, stable job in months.

Community colleges see some of the largest numbers of new nurses. They specialize in delivery of the two-year Associates in nursing degrees the quickest lead in to an RN license. The difference between this and going onto your Bachelors is you miss your two years of Liberal Arts education which injects much more academics and more theory. As you can see from the list below there has GOT to be a community college near you in New York.

Pro RNs, How to Boost Salary and Job Satisfaction in New York

One of the biggest challenges facing healthcare everywhere is retention of mid-career nurses. Why? Most are overworked and underpaid to put it simply. If you're a nurse you know all about staffing levels and nurses — salaries, but you don't have to leave your career to grab hold of a much more lucrative and engaging job. You're lucky in New York: you have the best of ALL worlds'large metro area, rural and suburban areas. Advanced practice nurse midwives, practitioners, and anesthetists are all in high demand everywhere and they earn considerably more than any unit RN. Two of the coolest nursing specialties right now are forensic nursing and legal nursing.

The only states that exceed New York in number of hospitals are California and Texas. New York has 214 hospitals from stem to stern and since they are still the biggest employer for licensed nurses they are important to take a look at when considering job outlook and salaries.

How Much Can You Earn?

Other factors that will drive these salary ranges up or down include your level of education, experience in the industry, your specialization and the type of facility.
