Hey Gina,

I attended Lincoln Tech(Paramus Campus) and just graduated from the LPN Program.My personal experience with the program wasn't a bad one. Every program has its pro's and con's. With the Paramus campus the primary downside for me was that since the program is so new, from term to term they were constantly both adding and elimenating exams, rules, guidelines etc from the program which meant you had to be on top of your stuff. What wasn't a requirement last term may be mandatory next term which could make or break you.

As far as the financial end goes, I think anyone can aggree that its pretty pricey, but its definately and individual decision one has to make. For myself I needed to get into the workforce sooner than later and I qualified for financial aid and other goverment loans so my final tab is a little less than 1/2 the total tuition. Sure I wouldve prefered to spend 2-3k at a city or community college but when I weigh my options of waiting 1-2yrs versus having a loan or 2 to pay off, I chose the loan.I'm still young, no children etc.And not to mention that year flew by. I can't believe I'm typing this as a graduate nurse when I was just posting as a nursing hopeful looking for a school to attend!!

Anyway,Sorry for the long post. Hope it was helpful.good luck in your future nursing endeavours.

Julz920,

thanks for that message.. I have been going back n forth about yes paying that much i passed the testing and i can start in december.. like you i want to get in and out.. i am much older than you 31 no kids not married just moved to jersey i have heard the program is pretty good.... i qualified for a grant about $5,500 they said i can apply for a stafford loan and a personal loan.. I heard that nj may have a state government loan as well if that is the case and you end up getting half off the tution paid off great. I believe they said you dont have to start paying back the loan until 6mths after you graduate....??? thanks again and congratulations on becoming a graduate im sure it feels great :yeah:

Gina,

I personally didn't want to waste any more time, and I had very few other options. If you have other schools in mind that are cheaper, then maybe Lincoln Tech isn't ideal for you.

I have to admit when I saw what the tuition was my mouth dropped but One thing that attracted me to the program was that they have a new starting class every 3months.

If you check my post and the threads I participated in, I had my heart and eyes set on an entirely different program in NY. So when that didn't come through for me I felt I'd wasted almost a year persuing it.

So here I was in May, of 09 bummed that September was approaching, School would start and I'd be back to square one. Then someone told me about Lincoln Tech, I tested July 09 for the September class and the rest is history.

I learned so much about myself and nursing in that 1 short year.

I would recommend it and I'd do it again.

I'm looking forward to working and moving on to my RN. I've definately become more disciplined in my studies and have gained a new confidence.

Lastly, TIME IS MONEY, :). And I hope $$ doesn't get in the way of persuing this career.

I will for sure check out your posts.. I understand I have been bouncing back n forth the last year trying to get into this college that school missing deadlines because i was unsure.. i was always told get your foot in the door and try something close to an rn to see if you would ven like the field so i went and recieved my cna although many people are not keen on cna"s job it gave me a sense of what i ruly wanted to do.. i know a ton of people discourage to waste made a great decision for yourself and have learnedmore about yourself and what you love about this field... thanks again:nurse:

Your welcome! I love giving advise and helping others. As you can see, there isn't much about lincon tech on this site so I had no such insight or encouragement.

In any case, good luck with everything, you will find a school and decide what's best for you.

If you choose Lincoln Tech, feel free to ask me any questions about it. I'm no expert but I pushed and made it through the program.

Take Care!!!

They have a remediation program??? That's new to me. When i attended LT, if you failed, they gave you some material to review and there was a 3month limit on retesting. Or something of that nature. What campus?

To answer your question though I kno a few students who didn't pass the entrance exams on the 1st try but did very well in the program. It's doable!
