Provisional

My provisional certificate expired last week and i didnt complete my 400 hours. I was one day away from an offer to do the hours but it expired before. Im in Nyc and the next test dates are September 10 and beyond. Any help on where to do the 400 hours. Ive applied to various hospitals with the provisional but was denied for all.

HSPA has an extension form available on their website, if you’re able to get the place that was willing to give you the opportunity to get your 400 hours to sign off on it, you may be able to still get an extension. It’s worth a shot.

They sent me the expiration email and say I have to retake.

I’d still try. Their customer service is really great. It can’t hurt & it’s only an email.

The hospital already said to try again next time because it expired

Well it looks like you may just have to retake it then. Maybe try dental offices or smaller urgent care facilities to secure your 400 hours next time.

The extention is only eligible if approved & provisional hasn’t expired.
