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.

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.

i graduated the ramsey program in january and actually really enjoyed it. i'm waiting on taking the nclex but a lot of my classmates have already taken it and are already working in the field. the clinicals are actually really helpful too. good luck with the entrance exam- there is a book you can purchase that can help you with the entrance exam: [color=#003399]review guide for lpn/lvn pre entrance exam, second edition (review guide for lpn/lvn pre-entrance exam) by mary e. mcdonald (paperback - nov 21, 2003) isbn-10: 0763724874 isbn-13: 978-0763724870

oh also, if you enroll in the lpn program at hohokus- as long as you pass the first semester which includes gerontology with decent grades- the director of nursing can petition to allow you to sit for the CNA license exam.
