Middlesex County Vo

Published

I've been accepted to start the LPN program at Middlesex County Vocational in February. :yeah: (I've been applying everywhere like crazy (since there's a waiting list to most programs) and I'm really happy to get into a program finally).

Just wanted to see if anyone here will be attending the program as well. If you've already attended, any feedback you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Gina25,

I'm in the evening program now, I started on September 7th. I LOVE it so far, and I'm doing great in my classes (Fundamentals and A&P), averaging 92 in both :D

Did you send in an application? From what I've gathered from other students and the instructors, it's a great, but very intense and fast paced program. We started with 20 people in our class, and lost one already. From what I hear, by the end of the 1st semester, we will have lost a few more. The NCLEX-PN pass rate was 100% for the past few years until last year, it was 95%.

We are doing clinical simulation through October, and start clinicals in the first week of November (2 sites for now, in Old Bridge, and Perth Amboy).

Let me know if you have any questions, I'll answer the best I can!

Thanks Gina!

The entrance exam is pretty much basic math and reading/spelling. Brush up on fractions and decimals (adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing). Once you get the letter for the entrance testing date, there will be a page in there that gives examples of what to focus on. It is pretty easy, but it helps to practice a bit to ensure you do the best you can.

They do accept by highest scores. When I applied, there were approx 350 people testing, and the highest scoring 50 got in (20 for evening class, and 30 for the day program).

If you get an acceptance letter, you will attend an orientation and notify you of all of the steps and requirements to be met prior to the start of term. There's a physical, immunizations, background check, books to buy, a uniform fitting, etc.

Good luck and let me know how it goes, feel free to PM me once you get your testing letter!

Hi Gina,

So sorry, I didn't see your post until now! Yes, the classes will be at the school where the testing was (Piscataway campus). Did you hear anything back yet? The wait felt like forever to me lol

I'm still loving it, they start you out slow at clinicals with mostly CNA type work... feeding, dressing, vitals, etc. The tests are starting to get harder, and we're definitely getting more in depth with care plans and such. I feel like all I do is work, study and (barely) sleep :yawn: lol

no problem. i'm sure you will. the test is fairly easy. simple math and some reading if i remember correctly. but i took it last year. i know a friend of mine failed but that is because she didn't realize the paper was double sided so please dont make that mistake. good luck! i know a few people that graduated from the program and they are all doing well.
