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!

hi everyone just got home from testing....what can i say the test was very fair.....math was good for me i think i did ok.. i didn't finish the verbal ability in time but i answered more than half.....the reading comp was very easy;i felt confident in that area....way easier than the net(i took in 06') as others have expressed. i also had the pleasure of meeting heather,meika and deborah...three lovely young ladies who also took the exam with me today...i wish them and anyone else who has yet to test the best of luck.....hope to see everyone on this thread in sept....

Why is this taking sooo long. I need to know if I got in or not because it is now conflicting with me going to Boces because their classes start soon. I just dont want to wait too long and not have nothing to lean back on.

Hi Guys...I Went 2 veebs 2day 2 try 2 apply because i have been calling for weeks but have been getting a busy tone. I was told to come back with my high school diploma and ID immediately for testing will soon be over.

I am eager to get started...I have been reading this thread since january of 2008...

is it too late to apply to any of the boces programs?

[NY-Mom]

i think its too late for eastern suffolk boces, i think western suffolk boces is still testing though.

i called veeb last week and they said 3 to 4 weeks for results, i called today and the lady said 2 to 6 weeks for results!!!! uugghhh...
