ATTENTION INTERNATIONALLY TRAINED NURSES

MET COUNCIL’S
PROGRAM FOR INTERNATIONAL NURSES

TWO NCLEX LICENSURE PREPARATION PROGRAMS
ONE GOAL
Help credentialed immigrants get licensed and get hired as Registered Nurses in nursing environments in the New York City area

Program A:
January to November 2010 Class for international immigrant nurses from all countries funded by New York City Department of Small Businesses and the Workforce One Healthcare Careers Center

Program B:
September to July 2011 Class for immigrant nurses from the former Soviet Union funded by the Baron de Hirsch Fund and UJA-Federation

Met Council is honored to offer these programs in collaboration with the Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing to help international nurses pass the difficult NCLEX nursing exam and improve their English communication skills, so that they can work as registered nurses in New York.

Q: What do these NCLEX Preparation programs cost?

A: These programs are fully funded. There is no cost to participants

Q: How does the program work? Where is it? How long is it?

A: The 200 - hour program combines NCLEX-contextualized ESL and Intensive NCLEX review across 10 months
All classes are held at Metropolitan Jewish Council's partner,
Phillips Beth Israel School of Nursing on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan.

Q: When can I apply?

A: We are now enrolling for Program A which will begin in January 2010. We will begin enrolling for Program B in June 2010 for a September start date.

Q: What are the eligibility requirements?

1. For both programs you MUST show us your permission letter to sit for the NCLEX exam, or your Notification of Failure to PASS letter, or evidence that you have begun the process of getting your RN diploma and transcripts validated by CGFNS.
2. You will already speak, read and write English but you will also understand that you need to improve your reading, writing, and oral communication skills in order to pass NCLEX, get a job as an RN and keep the job.
   As part of the application process you will be required to take a battery of tests to evaluate your English language proficiency.
   We are very excited to be able to provide this quality program at no cost.
