Hello, I completed Capella’s RN - BSN program in 9 weeks. Only the 8 core courses. I completed one course a week. Subscribe to the facebook Capella group, It helped a lot. A lot of students suggested Fair/Easy teacher to take and teachers to avoid. Be prepared to write anywhere from 4-5 papers per class on average 8-9 pages. Some PowerPoint presentation some visual presentation in audio presentation. The program is great, no discussion boards, no exams. And I really enjoyed the program, just waiting for my diploma to come in the mail. Good luck to you all. And don’t forget to sign up for Capella 30% discount for first responders. I used that. Graduated A.S RN program in May 2020

Congratulations. Happy to hear your success story.

Congratulations, I am enrolled in the Lpn - Rn portion of the program. I am taking Med Surg 1 now. I agree with you, Take as many prerequisites as you can now, to lighten your load. The generic BSN program is fairly new. Keep us posted on your progress

Hello, I am also a student here at Helene Fuld. I’m taking Nursing 221 ( Med Surg 1 ) at the college now. I must say, to listen to the previous post. She is correct when she said “do not take nursing courses with prerequisite courses”. I was one of those students that took a nursing course with a prerequisite course and failed. I failed the nursing course, but passed the Anatomy course. So now here I am, retaking nursing 221. And for some reason everything is clicking now. Passing here at the college is a 78%, actually 77.5% because of the rounding up system. Yes, the course is 10 weeks long, which seems like a lot of time but is not when you have three exams plus the finals +4 quizzes plus care plans. Its doable though, I have classmates from my LPN program that graduated from Helene Fuld and are signed up for bachelor program, and also other friends ? that are getting ready to graduate as well. Honestly, if you put your mind to it, just like anything else you’ll pass. We all know nursing is not easy. OK how do I study. After every Lecture, I read the PowerPoint once i get home. Just to reinforce the information. Also, Helene Fuld will offer you the online textbook to the course. When I first took nursing 221 ( Med surg )I paid for the online book over $200. I hated it.? So I ended up buying the older edition to the textbook for $20 on Amazon?. However,Well let me say the good thing about the online textbook is the textbook reads to you, it has videos, you can print important pages. So what I do is, I sign in to the online textbook, and make it read to me, while I follow in the older edition book ? which has the exact same information with my high lighter . I highlight all important information. After I do that, and I understand the material, I read my Saunders RN Nclex book, And answer all the questions from there. Then, I answer all the questions from my MedSurg success book it’s a purple book. Then I read over the power points again. Yes, I work full time nights at A nursing home. Maybe I can study for a hour and a half while there. I studied for 4hours during the day as well. And for the most part I’m doing pretty fine in the course. One thing with nursing school you never know, you just always on the edge with your grades. But I can say, if you really want to get your RN degree in one year or year and a half- do it. I recommend it, I’m doing it. Just my only recommendation, do not take a prerequisite course with the nursing course. however I do know people that passed - but they passed by the skin of their teeth. My union is paying - I have 1199 - so that’s another reason why I am here at Helene Fuld. We are all adults, we know its going to be rough. But we will make it. Let me know if you have any questions

NYC, starting pay $25hr, plenty of work here. Just the cost of living is higher, ex Rent ..... We have Plenty of nurses that live in NJ, or Pennsylvania where it's cheaper, that commute here for work... Best Wishes

New Grad Lpn Queens, New York. Offered $25 Pediatric HomeCare, straight out of nursing school. LTC agency's offer $25 - $27 Nursing Home. Best NYC

New Grad Lpn Queens, New York. Offered $25 Pediatric HomeCare, straight out of nursing school. LTC agency's offer $25 - $27 Nursing Home. Starting my pre requisites tomorrow. Then off to LPN to RN. I still believe it's a cheaper, easier route for me. Lpn program was 13 thousand, LPN to RN Bridge will be 12thousand. My RN will cost 25 thousand. Compared to 50 thousand RN private NYC PROGRAMS, that hardly no one graduates from, or the school is disorganized forcing students to retake classes. Take your time, No Rush. You will get there.

Incoming Veebers, Please Study Pink packet, it's your bible. Study blue packet terms as well. And complete any summer assignments

Aye, Current Veeb Student Checking In... I can't believe we are 5-6 weeks away from Graduation!!! Congrats to the new comers as well!!!! Enjoy your summer. Don't worry about studying, you'll learn everything you need to know in due time... I was reading a few things about Uniforms.. My advice if you've haven't already brought your veeb uniform. Is to buy. 3 white uniforms ( for clinicals _ which is either at a Nursing Home or Hospital) and 2 Blue uniforms for regular class, I'll advise those of you that get cold fast or like your warmth in class, to buy the veeb blue jacket. But if you don't want to, it's ok. Veeb allows you to wear a long sleeve navy blue long sleeve shirt under the blue scrub top.. ... Blue don't get dirty like White. And your White uniform is worn in the hospital and other places... please do not double wear the same white clothes you provided ADLS to a client it!!! If you own a washing machine at home or live near a laundromat 2 white pairs will be sufficient. . But for those of you with two white uniforms by 3rd semester the clinical instructors aren't afraid to tell you.. to switch it up... Its Dirty, Dingy!!! Please another thing..... Try to buy your veeb books used amazon, chegg, abesbook, Craigslist whatever.. but don't go crazy if you don't get them.. last year graduating students came up to veeb the first week of school selling there books as a bundle deal... $350 should get you everything I heard. And I'm sure I went a little over on 350, you should have some change left over.. but yes, the books are important!!! Well to me it is. The books are for reinforcement to what it taught to you!!! So get them.... ok, now let's talk about some must have that I've seen in veeb. Colored Highlighters, colored ink pens if you're a visual learner, a deck index cards, preferably the index cards with the spiral ring.... 5 different color folders, yellow, pink, purple, orange, blue.. get it.. Thank me later. No need for a rolling bookbag. Veeb provided us with strong heavy totes.. you paid for it in your tuition. Use it!!! Stethoscope + Pen Light+ Calculator+ Planner are included in bag.. I ended up buying another stethoscope, a pi n k stethoscope from amazon.. couldn't hear out of veebs... other people could though. I couldnt. Pen light is good. Planner is helpful to keep me on track with my assignments, and daily life.. oh, veebs provided.calculator.. don't lose it. Matter of a fact, don't lose nothing veeb give you, you'll have to pay for a replacement, because you already signed that you received these things. Calculator, you will want to keep that safe at all times, you will need it for your dosage calculations on your pharmacology exam.... on another note.. Veeb is the Hardest, most Wonderful program, because the teachers really are there to help.. tutoring is practically everyday. From 1-2 pm.. Quizzes are show after school, don't be to quick to say, I'm out of here.... especially if you know you didn't do that we'll on the exam.. grades are posted by ID # .. the only way someone can know your grade, is if you tell them your ID #.... Now drama. Leave it at home... We are nurses, help one another, stop beefing, and gossiping. .. How do I study?? I FORMED A WICKED STUDY GROUP WITH 2 OTHER GIRLS!! I call us the success team.. yup. We plan daily assignments, to be completed. We also, have a 8pm phone review session at night.... so no excuses you night shift workers!!!! 70 is passing at veeb!! But don't aim for that!!! To me, 70 means you didnt fully understand the module... remember veeb only give you the PN, it's the Nclex that gives you the LICENSE part... So No BS!!!!!! Pharmacology is on everyone's mind... Don't worry veeb has a wonderful over qualified Instructor teaching the course. But it's still a Sh** load of information to retain.. All I can Tell you, is to group the drug classes... For example... a Tylenol and a Morphine. . What's different about the two, can I take them together, which one is stronger, which one is a controlled substance ??????etc.. But think of those two drugs on a scale ×10 !!! So, like I said before, remember that.. the girl from allnurse said to group the different classes. MY SUCCESS TEAM, WE WRITE THE MODULE OUT.. yes it takes time, but so what... I like to look at my drug information as a whole, instead of flipping from one page to the next. I like my information listed all on one page, so I can analyze what I am looking at. And what's different about the other drug... My group is a 88+ avg in pharm.. 50 questions two pts each exam... I'll take that. Because when we go to look at the exam, it's a few silly mistakes that we made, or things we over looked. And we laugh at each other and say, didn't we say that over and over on the phone lastnight.. lol Well That's way better than getting a 70.. And please don't think your too good for a study group, and if your failing.. please ask for help..!!! I hate seeing the big mouths and the quite people drop out of the program.. Say something!!!! But on another note. Alot of sleepless nights, I can't lie... Alot of tears hit my notes at night. Saying how am I going to retain all this info.?? . But guess what... Its about to be July and We're graduating in August. Those tears were worth it.!!!... Because I put my mind to it, and I'm doing it. We Are All Doing It!! I'm 25 with a child. No dummy. A.S in Criminal Justice, transfered to John Jay college of criminal justice, but Never completed.. Because I got cold feet, thinking of the justice system.. and went back to my original plann. with My soon to be Lpn!! Yes, Young Mommy's Winning... Already signed up to a community college to finish my 3 science pre requisite.. So My LPN to RN load will be lighter... I did it, you can do it toooo... I'll try to come back and update you guysss.. Enjoy your summer... seriously. . No notes

Hi everyone, Mid Second Semester !!!, 5 1/2 months until graduation, Im excited Future Veebsters: Veeb offers a math review course, pay your money, and get taught the right way!!!

Hello, I am a current veeb student. And I wanted to let you know that, Veeb offers a math review course for $200. The class meets for 2 days a the week, for two hours a day. I think my session was from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and Fridays. That's the course that I took to get into veeb. It's an optional math course, but I took it because, I was unsure of my math skills. But after the math review , I was well prepared for the veeb exam. It was well worth it, I could of spent $200 on bull, but I invested myself. The math exam just like the English is a timed exam!!!! So I gained a lot from going to the math class, because the teacher taught us how to use our calculator, which is allowed during the exam. & I finished, way before the time was over, because I was familiar with the fractions, decimals, rounding questions that were asked. So, don't be too eager to take veeb into the exam, they will be testing up until May, I'm pretty sure. But keep in mind, and look out for veeb math review course, I'm not sure if they're going to have one this year, but keep your eyes open. It is indeed recommended for those who struggle with math. Just keep in mind, that Veeb will be requesting a $2,000 deposit almost immediately after receiving your acceptance letter (one you pass the exam) . So give yourself time to get the money up, file taxes, work extra hours, etc so your application process will go smoothly. F.Y.I your $2000 deposit is what guarantees your seat. We have 2 midterms tomorrow so I can't stay too long on this. I remember staying up late at nite reading this website allnurse , now I'm actually giving valuable information to future veebers!!! God Is Good. Dont give up!!!!! Why wait, start your career now!!!! If you do nothing for 11 months. You'll get nothing for 11months... Veeb is only 11 months. I am a step closer to being a nurse. From HHA to CNA to LPN God Willing

How you survived lpn school

Should I get a Rolling Bookbag

Im Ready Reading first few chapters of books!!!!! Just Need to get some school supplies Anyone else????? Keep the conversation going, don't be nervous now. What's ment to be, must be right!! Future Nurses So let's post.......

If you are like me, planning on going to work and go to school you must have a plan. I break my entire week down by the hour and have goals for things that need to get done each day. I am nowhere near the smartest person, but I am one of the hardest working. Don't feel that a full time job and school can't be done because you aren't some super genius. You just have to ask yourself "how bad do you want it?" And what are you willing to sacrifice to get it. Best of luck to all of Us!
