Hello everyone! I'm currently in the process of applying to Helene Fuld for January 2022. I keep seeing conflicted information or not enough. So I believe they're going to transition to a semester system, don't what the means for us. What are the...

Hi, currently in a Practical Nursing program and due to graduate in about 2 months. Helene Fuld seems like the most direct LPN-RN program in NYC. From what I've heard it can be hell on earth, or it's amazing. Was just wondering if I can hear from any...

Hi Zerifi, What I did was emailed someone, forgot who exactly, the course descriptions? from the course catalog at those schools to see if HF would accept them. May also depend on the school accreditation as well. The amount of credits doesn't...

So my understanding is that LPN to RN is 18 months now without the Science and Nursing skills. My Science class currently meets from 6-9 two days a week and Nursing skills class is from 5-9 once a week. I was told that we choose ONE day a week for ...

I notice this thread has sort of died. How is everyone doing?

Hi, just wondering if any recent, current, or future students know about their CLEP policy. Can you just CLEP the eligible classes or do you really need to have to taken the classes before? Because in my honest opinion, I think that defeats the pu...

Thank you so much, please keep me in the loop! I was wondering if it was one of those policies they didn't really enforce. It makes me upset because CLEP says it doesn't matter where or how you learn the material. If this was the case I would've s...

Meant to say ". I wouldn't say students failed because of not* reading the book though." The books are literally for if you don't understand the information or want to go more in depth. The instructors don't necessarily test you on what's in the book...

Or you can ask them of you show your reciept for the physical books if that's fine instead. Because I bought my books for at least $700, so I don't know how they're actually going to give you both. If they do, y'all are lucky. I wouldn't say studen...

Girlllll! Let me tell you, you don't know how upset when I heard that either! I go to VEEB, and I was hoping at least these credits will transfer, but NOPE. We've literally taken most of these classes from the A&P to the psychology, but our LPN ...

Get your scrubs from the website they provided! A lot of the faculty are particularly anal about this and can definitely notice the difference and you will definitely be called on it in the first semester. They even point out your scrub pants if it'...

Also guys, know what your learning style is! I personally learn better when I write things down and through repetition, especially in clinical. Other may be auditory or visual learners. We're not allowed to record the lectures, but you can record y...

Clinicals are about every other week starting somewhere around October. One section will be in school and the other will be in clinical. It's usually every other week you guys rotate, but sometimes you guys may do 2 weeks if clinical at a time and t...

First semester you'll have Fundamentals of Nursing, Vocational Adjustment, Scientific Foundations, Human Development I, and Skills Lab. Second semester: Principals of Nursing Practice I, Pharmacology I, Anatomy and Physiology I, Human Development I...

The school may provide you with a tote bag, a pen light, a stethoscope, a calculator and a planner. These arent necessarily top of the line, but they'll suffice. You will need number 2 pencils for your tests, and a little notebook you can fit in yo...

I know exactly what you mean! It honestly is a mixture of both, depends on the instructor really. I think some may forget exactly what they discussed and and not realize what they didn't discuss

You wouldn't necessarily need a laptop. The school does have a library you can use with computers and textbooks you can use. It may be easier on a computer because you can open another tab to look up questions you need help with. For the most part ...

Hey guys, current VEEB student here. Just wanted to congratulate those of you that have passed the entrance exam! But let me warn you, passing the entrance exam is one thing, but when you actually start it's a whole different ballpark! PLEASE MAKE US...

Currently in my second semester of LPN school, and my grades have been pretty great so far. If I'm able to keep it up, my school has an articulation agreement with Helene Fuld. Now my question is, after I do graduate and pass my boards, etc, should...

If no one does respond to your book request here. Hopefully the school still has the bulletin board with students willing to sell their books be sure to check it out

Congratulations on making it to VEEB! You'd definitely want the Calculate with Confidence for sure

Nope, you can keep all your textbooks at home, but one. That's would be Calculate with Confidence for Mrs. Felder's class when we begin dosage calculations

As long as they're all white with no logos. Also, make sure they don't have any holes on the top, and they're made of leather or something that is easy to be cleaned/wiped. If your shoes are made of a cloth like material that will not work. I ran int...

I did hear at least a few of the books from last year are changing, which sucks. In my experience I haven't really used them much. But if you're a textbook person, go for it by all means, just be wary of the costs. Do you need to buy all the books a...
