VEEB LPN Program (info request)

[PinkDove]

Hi All,

I'll be starting at VEEB in the Fall and was wondering if there are any current or past VEEB students that can give some info on this program.

What are the Teachers like?

What are the required books?

Is the program as intense as they say?

Do they have articulation agreements with other nursing (RN) programs? If so, with who?

Are there any disadvantages in taking the LPN course outside of a Community College setting?

Do they provide job Placement at the end???

Any information that ANYONE can provide will be GREATLY appreciated! I really want to have a full understanding of what I'm in for. I have 2 year old Twins and I am a little worried about whether or not I'll be able to juggle school/studying and Family!

Thanks you guys. No word problesm at all maizon. Just decimals fractions intergers. It's basic basic. Don't overload on things. Just review intergers fractions n decimals n know each rule for them that's it. My mind went blank a bit but still think I did good enough.

Whaat I don't get is there are 40 math questions. Lets say I only got 15 right but those 15 were of 9th grade level do I pass?

I also took the test today. I am sooo glad its over, since I have been stressing about it non-stop since Jan 1! I feel I did the best I could, it wasnt as difficult as I had anticipated. For me, the reading comprehension was very easy, the answers were right there in plain sight! The vocab wasnt too bad, I probably got a few wrong, and hopefully guessed a few correctly. All in all it was not bad, even the math was not as difficult as I thought it'd be. The fact that it was timed was stressful for me, but I was able to complete all the sections in the amount of time they gave.

Good luck to everyone who still has to take the test!!!

[NurseGurl09]

At the test today, the lady told us it will take a month to get our results, whether they are good or bad (pass or fail, that is). Has it been a month since you tested? This is going to be one LONG month for me! LOL

first let me say u guys need to stop reading other peoples blogs and thinking this test is a brezze cause quiet frankly its not... Everyone learns at a different pace... the math is def intense you have to know your intergers and the rule surrounding it..... division and proportions and.......... do u remember PLEASE EXCUSE MY DEAR AUNT SALLY??????

:yeahthat:.............. yup thats on there to as for the vocab i had to sit there and thanks my 6th grade teacher because about 12 of those words he taught us and i use to say "Mister we only in 6th grade what u teaching us these big word for" and his response was "You're going to need it in college and you will thank me"......As for the english comprehend.. DONT READ THE PASSAGE:nono: you will run out of time....there are about 7 passages 5 questions each.....GOOD LUCK 2 ALL and c u in sept....................:dancgrp:

I forgot, I also wanted to say, for those of you who dont feel confident about the vocabulary section of the test, I would highly suggest studying suffixes and prefixes...it will make it easier to guess the answers on the words youre not sure about. Again, good luck everyone. Hopefully we will all be classmates this September!
