hey, i started the LPN program in September 2008 and was asked to withdrawal from the program April 8,2009 due to failing pharmacology and failing a 2 test in med surg, now i want to go back. I dont want to go back to the old school im looking for something new, maybe a school in NJ. Im in a better place than where i was in 2008 so i know im prepared. I was looking at Metropolitan learning institute in jersey city.....has anyone been here? Does anyone think "its too soon" to start again...

im looking to attend that school also. i was on their website and it seems alright. im looking to take he TEAS test asap. i also live in brooklyn and im not sure if i should take the train or drive, parking is $70 a month.

MsAmbitious2336, when is the next class starting? did you take the entrance exam already? Do you live in brooklyn but willing to commute to NJ? I heard classes in this school start every 3 months, i dont know if it has changed but call and check, tons of people from brooklyn commute to NJ for school, its way better than waiting for a nursing program in nyc. good luck

Good Job Skinnymelt! What school do you plan on going to ,brooklyn or manhattan? TABE A, please buy a TABE A book from barnes and nobles and TIME YOURSELF. This test is timed by the computer and it just shuts off so please time yourself , the First 25 math questions i believe you have 15 mins to complete, time yourself at home once again its the same format as the TABE A book in barnes and nobles. ....... ugh im going to bed, i have clinicals tomorrow.. again! :) im going to admin drugs for the first time tomorrow at 9am ! Wish me luck! May the lord Bless my brain! Nighty night!

I guess thats the catch the stupid language part! cpaulino, did you get overall 40 percentile? You need to got 40 percentile on all three then overall 40 percentile Did you guys get overall 40 percentile?

OMG! TESTING ALREADY!! Last year the last day to give your application was Feb 1, 2008! i remember that day like nothing! :) that day change my life! .....Yes, scrubs EVERYDAY MON-FRI for regular school days, but when you go to clinicals you wear a sexxy dress. lol... you wear a clinical uniform, its a dress a little below your knees its blue with a white thing over it, its not that bad! i actually like it. Okay! if you go to the brooklyn school clinicals are at Kings Country hospital, Kingsbrook medical Center and Dr susan smith nursing home which are about 5 blocks apart from eachother, i have no idea about the Manhattan school i assume Harlem Hospital but dont quote me please. OMG testing already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hmm! You heard what the other person said! TIME YOURSELF!!!! PLEASE TIME YOUR SELF AND DO WELL AT HOME! I was so bad at math in highschool, but this is very basic math, just do it over and over and overrrrrrrr again! And you will get it! YOU ALL CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!! ORDER THOSE BOOKS AND TIME YOURSELF! ITS GOING TO PAY OFF! IM TELLING YOU! DONT WORRY ABOUT THE TABE A !!!!!!!!!! YOU GUYS ARE AHEAD OF THE GAME! BUY THE BOOK IN BARNES AND NOBLES AND TIME YOURSELF SINCE ITS A TIME TEST AND 25 QUESTIONS OF MATH IN 25 MINS THIS TIME. ITS NOT BASIC MATH! Okay just get ahead and time yourself! damn its 2am! i have class tomorrow! Good night and keep me posted please!

No, if you pass both test( CNET, TABE A) and pay your part you are automatically in! We had about 80 people in the brooklyn school this year!!!!! They usually take in 60 for each school, some had to go to the manhattan school and some dropped out later in Nov and December. Now we currently have 66-68 people i believe. No problem im glad i could help with all the questions, i wish i had someone to guide me last year but i had to learn and find out on my own. If you have anymore questions feel free to ask :) :redbeathe

Hey! CNET is 3 sections Reading, math and Language, good thing you order the book! The Study guide is going to be just like the test you are going to take, i hope you brought 2 -3 study books. When you do the study guide TIME YOURSELF!!!!!!!!!! so when you take the test that day you are ahead of everyone!!! especially with the math! TIME YOURSELF! TAKE ONLY 1 HOUR TO DO ALL THE PROBLEMS. The math is adding and subtracting 3-4 digit numbers , multiplying 3-4 digit numbers and dividing and other basic math! The key is time! SO PLEASE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE TEST AND DO VERY WELL TIME YOURSELF BEFORE YOU TAKE THE TEST. When i took the math section i was the first one to finish since i had prepared myself. Reading is just basic reading. you will read a 5 paragraph story and answer the multiple choice questions(6 questions for each story) . I believe its 3-4 stories. Language ,you need to know what the synonyms and antonyms of some words and spelling of some words also ............. So this is the CNET TEST! LIKE I SAID BEFORE PLEASE TIME YOURSELF BEFORE TAKING THE TEST AND ORDER THOSE STUDY GUIDESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. THEY HELP!!!! You will get your results saying if you pass or fail and then they will notify you if you qualify for the other test which is the TABE A . oh yeah! and passing is 40% percentile on reading, 40% on math and 40& on language and overall 40% For the person who brought the NET study guide, CNET and NET are two different test i believe, i think you should really order the CNET study guide................HINT HINT! THE CNET STUDY GUIDE IS THE SAME TEST YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE IN THE SPRING. SO PLEASE USE THOSE RESOURCES Good luck to all!!!:redbeathe i need to continue with my nursing care plan! :)

2008-2009 year we payed $1200 Sept 2008 and $1100 Jan 2009 i believe , which covers your books and everything else. When you take the CNET and pass then you take the TABE A TEST 2-3 MONTHS LATER . YOU WILL KNOW IF YOU GOT INTO THE SCHOOL BY JUNE 2009 . There is no waiting list. Good luck!

cushenry! they told us capping is tuesday Jan 13,2009. they said we have to go to mid manhattan, i dont understand what capping is for? is that when we get our pin? They also said if we dont pay the other part they will basically count us out..how is it going with your guys in mid manhattan? is capping the same day?? Let me know oh yeah! Finals this week! Elizabeth.

Skinny, im in BALC and i thought the TABE A was harder than the CNET, ALLI, How are your classes going? did you start clinicals already? How are your teachers?

like i said before, in order to take tabe a you need to pass the cnet, if you do not pass the cnet they will not let you sit and take the tabe a exam. yes you might practice the tabe a in school but thats just practuce, in order to take the real tabe a you need to pass the cnet. also i have no idea because i didnt attend the prep program so i do not know when they will give you the practice tabe a exam,but from what your letter saids you take the cnet in may when you complete the cnet prep program. i think you will practice the cnet study guides with the class and your teacher and when you all are prepare for the cnet the teacher will continue and help you guys practice for the tabe a exam yes cnet is first then its the tabe a exam. i think you should start studying both, but take it day by day you got into a prep program so the teacher will help you out alot, you have 4 months to study! the cnet is basic reading and math the math questions are divideing ,multiplying subtracting ,like i said basic! the only thing is that you are timed!!!! i think 1 hour for like 60 questions! so you really need to buy those study guides and time your self like i did, you need a 40 to pass, i scored a 69 math i think which is very good. the tabe is something you really need to study hard!!!! very hard , like i said go to barnes and nobles and by the study guide book. you need that! the math is harder and so is the reading in the math you have 25 mins to complete 50 questions. .... just take you time and study now! you have alot of time! :) so you already know, you need to take the cnet before you take the tabe from what i read on the paper i dont think you have to send out a application for the cnet, but i think you should and when you send it out buy 2or 3 practice books with the study guide and study! the more the better practice:heartbeat also are they taking more people for the prep program still? when does it start? is it in the morning, let me know.

okay, thats great if you took the tabe a test and scored 12.9 and 11.3 in math you are good to go and i dont see why you need to take the prep class, in order to get into the program you need a 11.0 in reading and 10.5 in math. i suggest you pay for the cnet and take it ,i dont think you will get a "pass" into the program. there was someone last year that was also in the lpn prep class and had to take the cnet ..and failed and couldnt get into the program. tabe if its tabe a is harder then the cnet! the cnet is nothing compare to tabe a ( please make sure its tabe a, because thats the one that you are going to take) if not go to barnes and nobles and buy tabe a study guide. like i said before if you took the tabe a and got your score then you dont need the class. please send out your $35 and register like everyone else for the cnet,please dont miss out the due date because you are confused about what you are suppose to do next, you need to pass the cnet in order to take the tabe!!!!!! if you pass then you get a call!! for paulino , good thing you live in the bronx, lol and that the manhattan school is closer to you! i dont know about the the brooklyn schoollllllllllll, let me stop! someone posted somewhere on all nurses and the person saids" oh i wouldnt recommend the brooklyn school, go to the manhattan school" when i read that i said whatever girl,let me see what its about, " now i know why she said that! its just alot of reading and teachers do not hold you hand, period. you read it, discuss it with your study group (if you have one) then you get a test, every week!! every week we have a new chapter! , even for pharmacology! can you imagine that!!!!!!!!!!teachers do not discuss. but its okay. :) i think the manhattan school is better, the teachers seem so nice and it look like they care and are willing to help and discuss the work, but i live a few mins from the brooklyn site thats why im there! goldwater is beautiful, the teachers are so warm! and nice. oh well i have to live with brooklyn site, some teachers are nice tho, not giving any names, but make sure you are there for nursing and only nursing, be prepare to read. also!!!! the brooklyn school this year had about 80 people, the manhattan school had about 40!!!! omg!! thats a great advantageeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee most of the people in bk school live in bk or queens thats why they go there. the manhattan school had less people, more teacher on student studying!!! thats a great place to learn.! good luck paulino!!!! reading is a beautiful instrument. just remember when you start, i dont believe in working and attending nursing school, its 9-4, this is your full time job, yeah you dont get a paycheck, you get something else. knowlegde! and when you grad you wont even look back!! dedicate 2-3 hours a night of studying, waking up at 4am and being real close to your classmates. sad, i miss my babys first real steps, oh well daddy caught them! good luck to all , its a wonderful journey! its decemeber 12 already! omg. next month , if god is willing.... clinicals baby!! may the lord bless me, isaiah and my brain everyday! :) :loveya:

No , Brooklyn adult learning center and mid manhattan Learning center dont care about your income or is you have a masters( Someone in my class has a masters in Biology) You take the Cnet, if you pass then you take the Tabe Exam, then you get accepted! When you get accepted you must pay $1,300 By Sept 2009. Then you rest By Jan 2010. They do not care about your income or your tittle all you need is a passing grade in the exams and your money to start the program. If you want to get into the free LPN Program which you have to take the cnet and tabe also, your income as a single person must be around $16,000 i believe, that is a free program(Everything paid for) and its in Goldwater Hospital on the beautiful Roosevelt island. They are giving out applications NOW! so if you are interested Go Fill one out. Im Currently in the Brooklyn Site. They Did not ask me about my income! :) Is this program open to anyone or is it really for low-income students? I'm currently an Accountant in Manhattan looking to switch my career to Nursing. I have had this program on my radar for months now & this is the first time I'm hearing about the income guidelines. I was accepted into the Monroe LPN program but decided not to attend because I would have to be $20k in debt. If anyone have any information about the income required for this program, please let me know.
