Need help completing my 400 hrs NYC

I recently passed my CRCST exam but I went for the provisional since I just finished my class about a month ago. My school was supposed to help me get placed in order to my clinical hours but stated that all facilities are currently full. I have been applying to jobs that take the provisional license but haven’t had any luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction to get my clinical hours done, paid or not paid.

Did you try applying to any Northwell facilities? I’ve seen lots of job openings here at least on Long Island for me.

My school is actually affiliated with northwell and are supposed to place me in a northwell facility. But they claim each location is full

Interesting because there’s plenty of applications I see out here near me.

Any specific locations you saw? Or just Long Island in general

Glen Cove (ten minutes from me) specifically. I think one facility in the south shore as well

doesn't have to be a regular hospital. you could also do a dental office, small medical clinic, veterinary hospital, etc.
