New York City is the leading metro in the United States for nursing jobs. Like the rest of the country, there is a growing shortage of qualified candidates for New York City nursing jobs. It is expected that by 2020, there will be a shortage of 7,000 nurses, with most of these nursing jobs located in the metro's hospitals and care facilities. New York City's leading hospital, New York - Presbyterian, was recently rated one of the best in the country by U.S. News and World Report.
A licensed practical nurse (LPN), also known as licensed vocational nurse (LVN), provides basic bedside patient care under the direction of physicians and registered nurses. Training programs last about a year, offered at community colleges, vocation schools, and technical colleges. An individual must pass the NCLEX-PN, which is a state licensing examination, before working as a LVN. Licensed practical nurses oversee the bedside care provided by nursing assistants. LVNs are also known as registered practical nurses in Ontario, as enrolled nurses in Australia, and as state enrolled nurses in the United Kingdom.
