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!

Hey grindin. Thanks for all your previous info on the bridge!! Do u know what material is on the retake by any chance? Is it math and reading like the entrance exam or is it other stuff?

Sorry I have no idea, having never taken the test. I'm pretty sure the school has no issue telling you what to study.

All I can say is give it your all since the bridge doesn't guarantee anything and no refunds.

I live in Flushing but am in West Hempstead alot..study group sounds good. I was considering Western Boces but decided not to because of the distance. They do seem more organized than VEEB thats for sure!

I have a question for those who received acceptance letters.... Was the date for Orientation on the letter? I have not physically seen the letter as it was sent to my parents house ( I live Out of state). Did they give you anything when you dropped your deposit off? ( I had my boyfriend drop mine off)

What list are you talking about? The wait list, or the list for the original 200 people?
