VEEB LPN Program (info request)

U.S.A. New York

Published

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!

I brought this same issue up to one of our instructors because I am extremely against getting the H1N1 vaccine. I was basically told if we don't get it then we cannot do clinicals and continue in VEEB. So basically they're trying to make it seem like a choice but if we want to be nurse's we have to get it and it's NOT a choice.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, what I see is the influenza shot is mandatory except in nursing homes, and the h1n1 shot is recommended. How can they make us take something against our will.

We will be doing clinicals in Hospitals as well as Nursing homes. I was told by VEEB instructors that I have the right not to take the vaccine. However, if I don't get the H1N1 (when availible) then I won't be allowed to go to clinicals. SO I really dont have a choice do I???

No you don't have a choice, lets just hope this vaccine doesn't come out! NYS is to blame for this, not so much VEEB. However, I do think that they should not count our absences when home with a fever and doctor's note from side effects.

What's gonna happen to those that are alergic to eggs and jello? They are unable to receive the shots. IS VEEB not going to allow them at clinicals?:icon_roll
