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!

ny mom you did fine she stated to pace yourself and get through the 9th grade math so as long as you got the 9th grade math questions right u passed she said that some of the questions were higher than 9th grade math sooooo dont worry maybe the one's you guessed on were higher than 9th grade the hard part is now over for us ny mom now let's just sit back and wait for those acceptance letters t roll in:):typing

Yeah, thats true but u only have to demonstrate a 9 grade math level. To me the math was a breeze. There are questions on there that is higher than a 9th grade level, so if u get it correct thats more points for u, but if u get it wrong its not held against u. Its basic math that anyone can pass, but people fail b/c its timed...

yeah well if you cant pass the math portion how in the hell do you expect to pass pharmacology ??????? Those test are timed you u gotta finish that before 1pm when school is over lololol seriously if you panic about this i am scared to see what will happen in sept when you have pharm and you have to write everything out and it has to be correct to the decimal no exceptions alot of people are gonna freak out please everyone do not worry its a piece of pineapple upside down cake lololol;)

Lol I see your point. And as for the first 200 they better save seats for those taking it at a later date since we had no control over the date we picked. My taxes will go straight to the deposit which sucks but hey

NY MOM where are you and how was the math?? also how about the vocabulary?

[Malenurse20]

she posted on the previous page. 46 or 45. Student your right I'm gonna over do my brain and mess up. Not saying I should go in not caring by relaxxxxxxxxxxxx

[NY-Mom]

thanks so much prospectivestudent, your right i'm just going to relax and wait for those results, hopefully we will be in veebs in september!!!!!

[prospectivestudent]

did she tell u how long it will take before you get your exams results??? She told us about a month but I have a feelin that we will have them back sooner because they grade them someone told me by the end of feb. what did the proctor tell u???

[NY-Mom]

hey miaizon, the math wasnt hard at all what messed me up was the time, its a bunch of fractions and integers and decimals..try to find short methods of figuring out the problems so u dont waste a lot of time like i did lol, the math part was 40 questions and u were given about 32 minutes to answer all of them..the reading part was easy for me, u would simply read a shorty article and then they ask u a few questions about the article but its easy cause the answers are right in the article..and the vocab part wasnt too bad as well..study but dont get nervous on the day of, u will do just fine..

[NY-Mom]

i think they will probably send them to us in about a week or two, she said to call by the end of this month if we havent recieved them..my friend took the test last year and got her results in 4 days..being that this is the first week of testing we might get our results sooner than expected...hopefully lol...

[prospectivestudent]

did your friend pass cause I heard that if you get your results back the following week means you failed some girl told me that yesterday cause she told me her sister just graduated from the program and she told her most people that don't pass the test get the results back quicker do u think there is any truth to that???

[NY-Mom]

wow there might be some truth to that because my friend didnt pass..but who knows..i'm so anxious to see my results!
