Hey,

So did you enroll yet?
I graduated from the Ramsey campus. The program is good. Good luck. Let me know if you have any questions.

Hey echo777,
I have some questions for you
I'm just about to take the entrance exam to hohokus ramsey on tuesday may 13. So i was just wondering what info can you share with me about the school.
Did you go in the day or evening division?
How much was the program at the time you were there?
Overall how was the whole program and the teachers?
And I was just wondering what would happen if you didnt pass a class, would you still be able to continue on in the program or just have to take that class over @ another time ?
Thanks I really would appreciate it.

For the entrance exam: you should get the Review Guide for LPN/LVN Pre Entrance Exam, Second Edition (Review Guide for LPN/LVN Pre-Entrance Exam) (Paperback)
ISBN-10: 0763724874
ISBN-13: 978-0763724870

I went to the day division. The program was something like 16.5K~ they do have financial aid (grants, loans, scholarships). The program was good. Class size is limited to 30 so you get a good amount of teacher attention. There are really good teachers and ones you might not get along with (think of any college program- it's pretty much the same). But, they offer free tutoring (if you're struggling) and they also have review sessions for the exams. The clinicals were great~ you break up to 3 groups and depending on the module- you may go to different sites~ ranging from bergen regional, care one, wanaque, summit and valley. If you don't pass a class you can retake it once. but you can still progress with the others classes. You can graduate as long as you pass the HESI (you have a class that reviews the HESI during the last module). You do have to register for the NCLEX and take that at a testing center after you graduate. They also have lifetime placement after you graduate to help you find a job.

Hope that helps.
