New York State requires that practical nurses complete an accredited nursing program lasting a minimum of nine (9) months. Programs are available at various educational institutions including two-year colleges and select high schools.

being a chef: is it as bad as some say?

We Answered:

Nurses and cooks are somewhat the same, crazy long hours on your feet, your family p*ssed off at you because you had to work instead of attending Suzie's birthday/graduation/wedding, hot dirty conditions, surly coworkers, lying bosses and rude customers.
It is all that and more , but the best job there is if you are suited to it. It is one of the few remaining career paths that would be difficult to outsource and most jobs in the kitchen do not require schooling. Culinary school is for experienced cooks who want to go into management.
Scheduling depends on the position you have and the place you work. Every place is different but mostly if you work in food you are working while your friends and family are eating.
Hope this helps.
