Nice, congrats! Are you doing the day or evening program? Regarding your previous classes, you would have to speak to the program coordinator directly. You may be able to skip a&p and/or micro, but don't hold me to that. They may require you to t...

I know of one poster on here (don't want to give his name w out permission) that went to mcvts and bridged to rn online. A few of the graduating seniors I talked to also were accepted to bridge programs. There are a couple routes available... Online...

Book and uniforms are not included in the tuition... So far I've paid about $600 for books (bought them brand new at the rutgers bookstore) and about $200 for uniforms and equipment. I bought 2 pairs of the total outfit since we have clinicals twice...

Thankfully, I have had nothing to vent or complain about yet (I'm lucky, I know), but I think in the near future I will be changing my username to make myself more anonymous. You never know who may be reading, and what I think may be a minor vent cou...

I found out that the program coordinator of my school is on allnurses. One day she came into our class and said "Thank you to whoever is posting helpful information about our school on allnurses.com". I'm pretty sure she knows it was me since I use m...

Awesome, make sure you have everything in the packet that they ask for completed by the orientation date. The evening class is 5:30-10:00, but for the most part we are out when we are done with whatever chapter we are working on, so sometimes 9-9:30....

Congrats!!! Did they send just the letter or the packet with information? IIRC, I was sent the packet with my approval letter and that included a paper that I had to send back letting them know of my class choice and a confirmation of my attendance....

No problem! A&P is on Tuesdays and Thursdays during the 1st semester; if your credits were within the past 5 years you may be able to skip taking it. You would have to speak to the program coordinator once you are accepted. It is definitely very...

Hi LadyTee, Congrats on taking the exam :) I made it through the first round of finals and am currently one month away from being halfway through the program. The course is very intense, especially the first semester. We lost almost half of our class...

Hair303, are you in the program now? I'm in the night class, just passed finals and started the 2nd semester...

Good luck megh! I received my letter about a month after I took the test. Are you going for the day or night classes?

Omg, I hate to admit it, but I probably would have lost all professionalism and completely freaked out! I am PETRIFIED of spiders! Ew ew ew my skin is crawling... You're a braver person than I am!

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 a...

Hi everyone, I am a 1st semester LPN student, and we are about to start clinicals in 2 weeks. Our class is separated into 2 groups of 9 for clinicals only (lecture we are all together), which we remain with for the remainder of our time in the progra...

Thanks again everyone. She didn't approach me last night, which might have been because of my "don't even try it" face I had throughout class (rough day yesterday lol). I did find out though that she has already asked everyone else in my clinical gro...

Thanks everyone! I'm going to let her know that I cannot change due to my boss' accommodations, end of story. I agree about the child care issue...I do not have children, and someone else's child care really isn't my problem (really don't mean to ca...

Hey Jenny, sorry it took me a while to get back to you, we're on vital signs and care plans and I've been studying like crazy What day did you go in? I saw the signs on the door to the school about the test and my classmates and I were laughing abou...

I've always wanted to go into the health care field. I love the caring aspect of it, and I am absolutely fascinated by the human body and it's various processes, ailments and diseases, and I love working with people. I was actually admitted to this s...

hi angel, thanks! yes, ms. p is still the coordinator. for a&p, i have ms. l, and for fundamentals, a different ms. p. the tuition did increase slightly; for in county it's $4350, which is still so affordable, especially compared to the cc's and...

The evening program I am in is 20 months-Sept to June, off for summer, then Sept to June again, graduating God willing in June 2012. Mon-Thurs 5:30-10 pm, and when we start clinicals in Nov, every other Saturday 8am-3pm. I don't have any prior health...

Hi NJMedGuy, I'm in the evening LPN program at Middlesex Co Votech, and I love it so far. It is the most affordable program in the area, and has a VERY high NCLEX pass rate (100% for a few years running, 96% last year). That being said, it is a very ...

Hey Jenn, No need to be nervous! You'll do great, just brush up on your math :) The test is in a small group setting- it's in a classroom with about 25 people. Bring a couple of pencils and pens, they'll provide the scrap paper... no calculators allo...

I start my LTC clinicals in 2 weeks, and this is exactly what I'm afraid of. I'm a very emotional person in the first place, but the elderly hold a special place in my heart. I hear the nursing home we are assigned to has a great reputation and reall...

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 ...

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 Did you send in an application? From what I've gathered from other students a...
