  4. I hate SATA questions!

    Grindin26 replied to wishinguponastarLPN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you can believe it, my first question on the NCLEX last week was SATA. I was shocked, I think they're trying to integrate it to be as common as multiple choice. With SATA, the best thing is not to...

    Grindin26 replied to DogMom67's topic in New York Nursing

    Grindin26 replied to dchowdhurysama's topic in New York Nursing

  7. VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't let the school's scare tactics affect you. You can always schedule a visit at the office of the MD who performs the exams. It's a bit out east and you might have to pay more, but if you can't...

    Grindin26 replied to ashcarr30's topic in New York Nursing

  10. Is the College of New Rochelle worth the price?

    Grindin26 replied to FutureRN618's topic in New York Nursing

    Personally I would spend the money and just get it over with in 2.5 years. What's the total cost looking like? If it's under 40k total, I would say go for it. You'll be all set once you're done. An...

    Grindin26 replied to DogMom67's topic in New York Nursing

    You can pay for parking just for the convenience of it all, but personally street parking was never hard to find on the north side of Union Tpke unless I got there after 7:50AM. Worst comes to worst...

  16. VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    The school has a lot of positive going for it. On the other hand, I can truly say the school and some of my peers would consistently manage to aggravate me. With anything in life though, you take the...

    Grindin26 replied to DogMom67's topic in New York Nursing

    Grindin26 replied to jay neon's topic in New York Nursing

  21. VEEB LPN Program (info request)

    Grindin26 replied to PinkDove's topic in New York Nursing

    Exactly, its in their best interest you pass. If you drop early, that's lost tuition in the future. The tests come straight from lectures. The people who ended up dropping usually didn't care, not...
