Free orientation, counselling and career support for nurses trained outside the United States who now live in New York City, run by a public college. They help you work out the route to a New York licence, what exams and courses you need, and what nursing adjacent jobs you can take while you get there. This is the service a Ghanaian or Nigerian trained nurse in New York should use before paying anyone for advice.

Get ready to apply
Built only from what this listing states.
A short application, by our reading.
1. What to get ready
An online form; it names no documents. Some forms do not save as you go, so set aside time to do it in one sitting.
In their words: “Pre application form, then your nursing qualifications at the counselling appointment”
2. Dates
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. Our advice

The download is a small text file. You can read it later without data. It also lists each condition they set, so you can tick yourself against them. WhatsApp sends the same list to you, or to somebody helping you.

Tips for applying for a programme
General advice from us, the same for every programme. It is not what this organisation says; that is above.
- Check the dates and the time it needs. Programmes often need you at set times, and missing sessions can mean losing your place.
- Say plainly what you want from it and what you will do with it after.
- If it asks about a project or business, describe what exists today, not only what you hope for.
If there is an interview or a test
- Expect to be asked why now, and what you will do if you are not chosen.
- Be ready to describe your project in two minutes, in plain words.
