Lincoln Tech Hamden 09?

Does anyone know the story with this? Why was the public program shut down and for how long? It seems to me that CT is going to have some serious LPN shortage issues if they don't fix this, soon!

Our "wonderful" :rolleyes: Governor Jodi Rell decided that it wasn't cost effective to keep the schools open and in trying to balance the budge, cut all the State funded LPN schools. As far as I've heard, its indefinate.

Yes it is... but the way that i look at it is... it's a really good school with 100% pass rate so to me it's worth spending the money.

Why spend $32,000 when you can spend $15,500 and get a ASN? That makes no sense. And LPN's skip the first year, so you're talking maybe $8,000!

well I start LT in shelton sept 13 2010. I'm doing the night classes. Now I'm scared with all this self teaching talk. It's about 33k to go to school so I have to pay three hundred a month out of pocket because student loans didn't cover all of it. There are some clinics that are during the day but I don't know what time..there are 8 clinical days alltogeather after your first year in school. Lets see what else..they have extra help if you need it that is an hour before class starts( 4pm to 5pm) they sound like they really want you to make it in this school but idk I didn't start yet. The entrance exam was not bad at all it had basic math, reading comp.but I took the last of that test because they changed them two days after I took and passed mine. To practice for that test I went to testprepreview.com and clicked on TEAS this helped me to pass.oh yeah we were able to use calculators.my test was free but the new ones are 30 bucks each time you take it.. I hope this info helps any other questions I will do my best to answe :)
