   Ms.NurseHopeful88 replied to Nurse_Lightning's topic in Travel

   I am a new grad LPN in Long Island NY and I started at $25h/r non union with benefits. I started working the week after passing Nclex PN in an assisted living.

3. Does this mean I passed my LPN exam?

   I took my nclex pn exam on monday; completed 205 questions in about 3 hours. I was super nervous. But when I checked my quick results 48 hours later.... I passed! Woohoo!

   Um noo they do not do that at veeb. You practice on mannequins then you do bed baths and assessments on actual patients in clinical. You will be doing it around November on real patients! Am care, meds, wound care, care plans and exams in clinical!

   No. Majority of quizzes are 50 multiple choice questions. Usually per module. I really don't remember the first round of tests to be honest. You must memorize the pink module above all. That will haunt you all year if you don't!

   The first week at veeb you really don't do much. My first week they spent the whole time doing attendance, talking about requirements, and the basics. I would suggest if you drive, to get there around 715am cause the parking lot fills up fast when bo...

   Yep you still have to go to school unless they state otherwise. We missed 2-3 days and had several delayed openings. It is a clock hour program so every day you miss is 5 hours docked. If you miss more than 25 hrs per semester or two clinical days yo...

   All the tests throughout the program are multiple choice except 2 or 3 for pharmacology. They try to get you used to nclex style.

    Yes all tests are multiple choice with the exception of a few med math show your work exams.

    Good attitude! I just graduated veeb last week and I went through the program working 50 hours a week. It is doable but you need to read ahead to make life easier. There are weeks during semester two and three where you have exams everyday of the wee...

    The workbooks don't come with answer keys so it doesn't matter. A lot of the books you won't even use. The tabers medical dictionary isn't really necessary I just used google or my other textbooks. You def need the drug guide though. And I suggest bu...
