Currently attending New England Tech and there has to be lots of improvements before I can recommend this school to anyone. You get a good education, but this place is expensive ($26,000) and disorganized. There has been difficulty finding appropriate clinical sites, no accountability from staff. I am very dissapointed overall but I will finish this program. My advice is try to get into an LPN program run by the state. It is cheaper and hopefully less frustrating.

i am a LPN here in CT i hate it i guess because i was trained in virginia and the southern style of nursing is different but anyways overtime haha you could work every day of the week double shifts here and they start new grands in new london groton around 20 an hour

Starting is minimum $21/hr up to $25-30/hr or more w/ an agency. Most LTC use pool and and agency because nurses are limited here in CT. They don't like pool/agency because of the high$$$$$ for them. So, now pay is getting better and they tend to stay away from as much agency as they can. Overtime & per diem is plentiful!

Just to let you know! I also tried Netti in New Britain. I had negative experience in 2000. The teachers were really strict but more than any other nursing program, I think you should look at some more options. Their nursing program is not cheap either. So many people were disgusted about the way they handle things. I felt like I didn't kiss up to any of the teachers there. Well after all that drama I quit the program and went to college for the Rn. program. I should have done that from the beginning. I graduated in May of 2006. Sometimes taking shorts can hurt. So think of what to do and try to get some feed back from people who are currently at Netti. Good Luck.

Someone told me New England Tech is not $30,000 for the LPN program. I was thinking about going there, but I ended going to St Vincents college instead. I think it is about the same price, since I had already have most of my prereqs. Think deep before you leap!!!

When I left them, the next evening class wa sbeing sighed on at about $28000.

NETI is up to $30,000 not including books, uniforms, stethoscope, etc. I registered for the Jan 07 class but I thought about the cost and withdrew. I will just take my chances on getting into the state program starting in January, if I don't get in, I'm going the RN route.

I'm a graduate of the Vinal Tech - Middletown part time evening program...you can private message me if you like if you have any questions about it.

I was interested in starting the Vinal Tech evening classes however I am attending CCSU to get a BA in Biology at the same time. Is the LPN program at Vinal Tech manageable while being a full time student at a University. What is the total costs and how is the entrance exam? Is the entrance exam in need of studying? How well do they prepare you for the actual exam to get licenced? I have a lot of questions pertaining to this! Please help!!!!

Hey Undergrad,
If you're getting your undergrad in bio then you should really consider skipping the LPN and going straight for one of the BSN or ASN programs.
