I went to JCMC (Jersey City Medical Center). I looked for programs in NYC but all are in Queens or Brooklyn. From work (midtown NYC) I was able to ferry or subway to Jersey City and make a 6PM class time. One caveat - this preps you for the National test and a NJ practical exam. So you would need to schedule an extra exam to get the NYState cert...
Expense was ~1300USD plus book for a 6 month course (Tues, Thurs, Sat). My volunteer corps offers vouchers which reduces the overall cost to $200 but I would have had to wait another cycle (and also probably take it from a 19 year old who would need it more). So I paid for it. The course is worth it for the practical skills alone. After you take 50 blood pressures - it starts to click, etc.
Also the practical days in the hospital trailing ER nurses or respiratory specialists are great.
