  1. VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Mailed my stuff to NYS the week after graduation. VEEB finally did their part the 2nd week of Sept. and I remember being able to schedule a date as soon as 9/22 but I opted for the 1st week of

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Congrats Class of 2010! Enjoy your graduation weekend. Now that wasn't too bad was it? Don't listen to whatever the school says, mail out your application for the boards ASAP and register on the...

    Congrats to all those who have gotten accepted. Best piece of advice I can give you if you want to save some money on books is just get them as you need them off eBay, Amazon etc. Just type in the...

  4. Nassau Community College

    Grindin26 replied to Muttlover's topic in New York Nursing

    Not sure about N101, but my N105 instructors were pretty lax about the uniform requirements. I saw ankle socks on females all the time and a few wore

    Grindin26 replied to Muttlover's topic in New York Nursing

    Yes I am a NCC Nursing student. I have absolutely no clue as to the exact criteria for accreditation. I'm just passing along what I was told by my professor on Tuesday. And she's one of the more...

  6. Nassau Community College

    Grindin26 replied to Muttlover's topic in New York Nursing

    I hate to dim the mood in here, but last week one of my instructors told me something a bit disturbing. NCC was under review this past month and the results look like they may be put under probation...

    lol...just relax, if you've turned your deposit in already, who cares about orientation and the physical? You're set, enjoy the warm weather, you might not enjoy it as much at this time next

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    For those uncertain, if it's financially feasible, I would definitely look in to some Associate degree RN programs like Cochran school of nursing. Expensive, but a nice short

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    VEEB must really be digging through the pile of candidates this time around. I received my acceptance not even a week after handing in my references, but those were different times, the economy was...

  10. VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    lol... I'm flattered. To answer the remaining questions, yes there is an evening program. It's 5-10 PM I believe with 5 hours class, 10 hours clinical a week. As for the classes, NCC pretty much...

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Wrapping up my 1st semester in Nassau's program and I articulated right away from VEEB. In order to do that though you need intro english & psych, A&P I & II, statistics before you apply...

  12. VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Can't really blame VEEB for wanting a character reference specifically. Way too many people in my opinion slip through the cracks. It's better the seats be given to people who deserve it, and in the...

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't even sweat the reference letters. It's a minor formality at this point and I doubt the school would even take the time to actually check references. I'm going to be honest here, I basically got...

  14. VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    You guys have to take into account that VEEB operates on a non for profit basis and since the economic downturn, they've been getting gradual cuts in state/county funding, so they have to make up for...

  15. I got accepted to nassau community college!

    Grindin26 replied to Muttlover's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for the reply, I've decided to go for sociology and a 0.5 credit course. I'll see how it goes, I definitely feel I'm up for the task though. And if you have any books you want to sell, please...

  16. I got accepted to nassau community college!

    Grindin26 replied to Muttlover's topic in New York Nursing

    Natingale, I'm starting 105 in a couple weeks. In your opinion, with the workload, should I knock sociology and my humanities requirement out the same semester? Honestly I'd rather take them over the...

    Grindin26 replied to Muttlover's topic in New York Nursing

    Can't answer your question regarding the skirt, but I only plan on buying one set for now, since the uniform isn't exactly cheap. Plus clinical is only once a week

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Just cleared things up about HF. Finally got factual information. Disregard some of what I said earlier. For those with pre-nursing college credits. HF will take your A+P and Micro if it's C+ or...

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    HF took your A&P etc. credits without CLEP? The people I spoke to at the open house, told me otherwise, since if they do that changes a lot of things. Also I'm wondering, is HF enforcing a...

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    If you get on the 7th floor of NUMC, you'll have a tremendous experience. I never learned so much in 1 clinical rotation. You'll be dealing with all sorts of precautions (MRSA, VRE, TB, C. diff etc.)...

  21. VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    The material isn't really that much more difficult, but the volume of material may become overwhelming at times. As far as medsurg, it really depends on where they place you. Most likely you won't be...

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Congrats Everyone! Semesters 2 and 3 are a completely different animal. Don't listen to the instructors when they say 3 isn't too bad compared to 2, trust me it's just as difficult if not more. Also...

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    When did you send it? I got some religious email, from some one here, was that you? Other than that I doubt I got anything from anyone here

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    There are definitely jobs, but if you're a new graduate with no healthcare experience such as my self it can be tough to find an ideal job. And take in to count I said "ideal", there are a few places...

  25. VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Ya the school is weird with that, especially in 1st semester, they let people come in the last day to get their grades after the finals on the two previous days. But some we never saw again the next...
