Re: LPN at HoHoKus school at ramsey
I am A GRADUATE OF EASTWICK COLLEGE formely HOHOKUS......& A FORMER HOLY NAME LPN STUDENT.
DO NOT BELEIVE EVERYTHING YOU HEAR...TAKE IT FROM ME I HAVE BEEN THREW BOTH PROGRAMS BOTH HAVE THEIR PROS AND CONS AS WITH ANYTHING. BUT I WILL TELL YOU WHY EASTWICK/HOHOKUS IS THE BETTER PROGRAM... LET ME FIRST START OUT BY STATING THAT I WAS NOT KICKED OUT OR EXPELLED FROM HOLY NAME, AT THE TIME OF MY DEPARTURE I WAS AN A/B+ STUDENT, AND IT DEVASTATED ME GREATLY TO HAVE TO DEPART FROM A PLACE THAT I HAD GREW TO LOVE AND TEACHERS WHOM I GREW TO ADMIRE, "HNH" IS A GOOD PROGRAM IF YOU'VE BEEN IN THE HEALTHCARE FIELD AS A CNA/UNIT SECRETARY/ SOME TYPE OF HOSPITAL WORK, HNH IS FACED PACED, THERE ARE 2MAIN INSTUCTORS THEY TAKE ONLY ABOUT 20STUDENTS PER YEAR "CREME DE LA CREME" YOUR DAYS ARE JUST LIKE AS IF YOU WERE GOING TO WORK AND SOME, THEY START AT ABOUT 8AM-AND THEY DAY IS OVER AT ABOUT 3:00-3:30-4 ESPECIALLY IF MRS LYONS IS LECTURING (ILOVED THAT LADY
HOHOKUS: THEY TAKE ABOUT 20-22STUDENTS EVERY 4MONTHS, IF YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH FUNDAMENTALS YOU HAVE A FIGHTING CHANCE I CALL IT THE WEED OUT, THEN YOU PROCEED TO MEDSURG WHICH IS HELL THEN TO PEDS/MATERNITY AND PSYCH.. IN MY OPINION HOHOKUS IS A BETTER PROGRAM BECAUSE PERHAPS IF YOU DONT GET IT THE FIRST TIME YOU HAVE AN OPTION TO TAKE A COURSE OVER IMMEDIATLY NOT LIKE HNH YOU HAVE TO WAIT A YEAR AND THATS IF SIS CLAIRE DECIDES YOUR WORTHY ENOUGH, HOHOKUS WILL WORK WITH YOU IF YOU HAVE ANY FINANCIAL PROBLEMS HNH WILL NOT THEY HUNT YOU DOWN CONSTANTLY EVEN WHILE YOUR IN CLASS.
I LOVE HNH I EVEN PROCEEDED TO GET MY RN AND I WORK FOR THEM NOW BUT THEY ARE NOT VERY FLEXIBLE IN THIER NURSING PROGRAM..ANTHOR THING HOHOKUS DID NOT GET KICKED OUT OF VALLEY ELENA...VALLEY IS EXPANDING THEIR BLDGS THERE IS NO ROOM FOR PARKING LET ALONE EXTRA BODIES ON THE FLOOR....YOU GET YOUR MED/SURG CLINICALS AT BERGEN REGIONAL JUST AS GOOD AS HOLY NAME..AND WITH BERGEN REGIONAL YOU WILL LEARN WHAT IT IS NOT TO HAVE THE PRODUCTS YOU NEED AND HAVE TO COMPRISE I DIDNT SEE THIS THAT WAY WHEN I WAS A STUDENT BUT NOW ITS VALUABLE..YES THEY GOTO CARE1 BUT AS A LPN AS PPL HAVE STATED YOUR NOT GONNA WORK IN A HOSPITAL ANYWAY MATTER OF FACT CARE1 IS WHO HIRED ME STRAIGHT OUTTA HOHOKUS AND I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM. YES YOU GO TO WANAQUE FOR PEDS BUT HNH GOES TO ST.MICHEALS IN NEWARK..WANAQUE IS A GREAT FACILITY FOR PEDS AND YOU GET 6WEEKS YOU SEE TRACHS/GTUBS/ALL THOSE VITAL SKILLS THAT YOU NEED..MATERNITY IS AT VALLEY AND YOU GET TO SEE C/SECTIONS DAILY YOU GET YOUR OWN NEWBORN SO TO SAY PAPERWORK THE WHOLE 9, ONLY THING THEY SAY THE VALLEY GIRLS DONT LIKE TO GIVE NATURAL BIRTH SO U MIGHT MISS THAT. PSYCH IS AT BRMC ALSO SO IS HNH PSYCH BUT NOW HNH PSYCH MAY BE INHOUSE BUT BRMC PYSCH IS BETTER.
HOHOKUS PROGRAM MAY SEEM WACKY BUT I JUST WENT WITH THE FLOW BECAUSE I WAS DETERMINED TO BE A NURSE ITS MY LIFES CALLING...HNH HAD A GOOD PROGRAM CALLED MEDSPUB WHICH YOU ANSWED QUESTIONS AND THE SCHOOL KEPT TRACK OF THESE AND YOU HAD TO HAVE SO MANY BY A CERTAIN TIME FAME. TO SIT FOR HESI/BORDS...HOHOKUS YOU DO A PROGRAM IN THE LAST SEMESTER THE HESI WHICH UR ALREADY STRESSED OUT BECAUSE YOU HAVE PSYCH AND A 2PROJECTS.
AS A LPN I PASSED MY BOARDS WITH 81 QUESTIONS SO I KNOW I LEARNED SOMETHING AT HOHOKUS...MAYBE IN MY CASE IT WAS THE COMBO FROM BEING AT BOTH PLACES AND WORKED IN HEALTHCARE IDK... BOTH PLACES HAVE EXCEPTIONAL NURSING INSTRCTORS WHICH EVER SCHOOL YOU DECIDE IF YOUR HEAD IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE YOU WILL HAVE A GOOD EXPERIANCE...SORRY FOR THE CAPS MY KEYS ARE STUCK!!!!!
Did you get your results by mail, I mean did they send you anything or they just called you to set up an interview? How long did you wait after you took the test? How can I find out what is my test score?
Job at hospital? Must be a joke.
There is no such a thing,,.,
