Emily SPTA -> Clinical site in NY? (December 6, 2006 7:35:00 AM)
I am a PTA student in Pensacola, FL and have been searching for an Acute Care setting in NY or NJ around the Rockland County area. I have tried many different Hospitals a lot of which are either full or the contracts take too long. I have to get a site in to my clinical Coordinator by the 15th of December and I have been looking for the past month. Does anyone have any suggestions or possible contacts that I could possibly reach.

I will forward this recommendation on to my program director. Our PTA program just closed so there may be some possible sites in Westchester.

Thank you Marc! Whose PTA program just closed?

You can try the following sites:
Nyack Hospital, Burke, Helen Hayes. Dobbs Ferry Hospital In Northern Jersey - really close to Rockland is Pascack Valley in Westwood and Valley Hospital in Ridgewood
I don't see how you will be able to set up a contract on short notice however, unless your school has one set up already. Sometimes the paperwork can take a year.

Yeah I have tried all of those except Burke. I will try Burke. I thank you again for getting back to me. I have until Friday to get my last clinical set up. All of the other Sites that you mentioned are booked up for the following year. I just did not know to notify so early. Thank you!
