The Department of Health gives licenses out for nursing home administrators if you pass the state (NAB) exam. In order to qualify to sit for the exam, you must have any accredited undergrad (even a BTL from BMG is fine) and must take 5 specific nursing home related courses (administration, finance, ethics, and forgot the other 2) which must be approved by the DOH. I'm not sure what that 3 month/1k course is for. Feel free to ask me any more questions regarding nursing homes administration in NY.
