Call us today! 201-694-1216 Gina Diaz Sales Associate 201-414-2592 Teri Tricoli Sales Associate arbara Sbarra RN, MSN, CNE was a nurse at Hospital for Special Surgery in New York City in 2002 when a friend who was the dean of students at Eastwick College (then the HoHoKus School of Business and Medical Sciences) convinced her to join the teaching staff for the fledgling Licensed Practical Nurse program at the Ramsey school. Eight years later she was heading the LPN program helping build it into the largest of its kind in the state, and now she is Eastwick College’s director of nursing, responsible for both the LPN and the Registered Nurse (RN) programs. Eastwick College is the first private sector college in the state approved to offer a registered nursing degree. “I’ve found my niche,” said Sbarra. “I get to experience the best of both worlds: satisfaction from leadership and education. Every day I get to oversee and guide the education of our future nurses and it is a great feeling to be able to touch the students’ lives in such a way that helps improve and develop their careers.” Because many of the students have tried other fields prior to attending Eastwick College, Sbarra said it’s rewarding to see when nursing clicks for them, when the clinical and the theory aspects come together and they realize they can now fulfill their dreams and help people in various communities and settings at the same time. “The students are eager to learn and are dedicated, committed and proud of the Barbara Sbarra RN, MSN, CNE ir accomplishments,” she said of the nursing students at Eastwick College. Barbara Sbarra heads RN and LPN programs at Eastwick College B Their accomplishments are measurable. Eastwick’s nursing graduates have a ninety percent passing rate on the first try in the National Council Licensure Exam, and the school is now in the candidacy stage for membership in the prestigious National League Barbara Sbarra RN, MSN, CNE for Nursing. New classes start every 12 weeks for the year-long full-time LPN or RN programs (18 months for parttimers). Also available is a bridge program from LPN to RN which results in an Associate’s (AAS) degree. Clinical experience is attained in a wide variety of disciplines at several area facilities, including Hackensack University Medical Center, St. Joseph’s Hospital and Select Specialty in Rochelle Park for RN students and Bergen Regional Medical Center, Care One, and Palisades Medical Center for the LPN program. All students also participate in community service, either by volunteering for a health fair or blood pressure clinic or by lending a hand on a project, such as Oasis Shelter in Paterson, which Sbarra feels strongly about. A graduate of Hunter-Bellevue School of Nursing with a master’s in nursing from Ramapo College, Sbarra is now pursuing a DNP-Executive Track at Felician College. Through the years she has lived in Mahwah, she has also volunteered for the Home School Associations, DARE, Immaculate Conception parish and the Center for Food Action, among other organizations. Eastwick College’s goal is to prepare students with the knowledge and skills necessary to qualify for challenging positions in business, industry and the medical environment in the shortest possible time. Classes are small and provide each student with as much personal attention as necessary to help them meet their career goals. Financial aid is available and students can take advantage of free placement services. Better than 90 percent of its graduates find the job they want after graduation.
