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!

That is great! When is your interview? You have to move fast with what they ask for. Last year we took the references to the interview. I am soooo glad for you.

Akanini, they just sending me a letter that i pass, but they didn't tell when my interview is going to be. And my references letters, their enveloppes are empty, only the papers the employers use. So, what are you thinking about these issues.

They are probably changing things around. I am in clinicals this week. I will ask the counselor when I get back to school on Monday and let you know. Send in what they ask for soon.

The counselor informed me that they are eliminating the interview process unless there is a concern. So just get your references mailed in right away. Things sound good on your part once you pass the physical and pay your down payment.

Akanini,

I have a problem. Yesterday i called the school. I asked them about the references letters. It seems that everything must have the name of the compagny. But, the thing is i only have the letters were the doctors signed their name and their licences, the enveloppes did have any names on it. They said that they might take it. I will know by mail about what they need.:icon_roll

hey i have a few questions..the bridge program do alot of people get in after that or do they tell everyone they got excepted to the bridge program..also does anyone know what you have to score to get into the program what is the passing score for reading and math...

[akanini, MSN, RN]

If you read through this post you will find the answers to your questions. 9th grade math level and 12th grade reading. Last year only 23 out of 75 students in the bridge made it. Its a Veeb money maker because the students get a HARDER test. But from what I hear if you can't pass the bridge, you won't be able to pass the program. Its first semester material!

Took the test today, breezed through it for the most part.

How long does it usually take to get the results by mail?

TIA.

One week to get your results. If you pass you are in from what the counselor said. They test over 1,000 students and take the first 200 that pass the entrance exam, drug test, pay the deposit, and pass the physical. But Veeb leaves slots open for the bridge program people. The work is hard but the instructors are great! GOOD LUCK!

I send two references letters for two weeks and i did have any answer from the school. So, i don't know if they received them or not. They should send something back tells that they received them.

Akanini do you think it is esay to get 85 average at Veeb?
