VEEB LPN Program (info request)

U.S.A. New York

Published

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!

brooklynpnoy.....hmmm...which one of those male flips are you??? HAHA yeah ladies first. how are clinicals going?? well.. completed my first bed bath today and what an experience it was...i heard that the "pink" teacher is getting better and better..lmao..a lot of the CNAs there are complete meanies...:cry: but all we can do is hope for the best...

Thats pretty cool you guys are sticking together. I ended being the only Filipino in my section, and the other section had 3 females, but they thought I was a snob cuz I didn't say "hi" back when one of them supposedly said "hi" to me. :stone :chuckle

Just found out I passed the boards, got stopped at 85 questions, ended up getting about 10 select all that apply questions and no dosage calculations. Got hit with a good amount of pharmacology, diagnostic procedures, infection control and a few conditions I've never heard of.

But I was able to get around those by looking at suffixes and prefixes which led to some fortunate guesses. They like to hit you too with the drugs you see on TV.

The Pearson-Vue trick mentioned in the NCLEX forum, does indeed work, I got my "unofficial" unofficial results hours after the exam.

My advice to you guys for next year is mail your application and register with Pearson Vue right after you graduate. Take like a week off, unwind and just start studying practice questions and strategies so by the time the school does mail the grraduate list in September you'll get permission to schedule your test almost instantaneously.

I had the option to take the exam as soon as Sept. 20, but I spent my month after graduation working/partying and getting acquainted with alcohol. :chuckle Finally settled down after I scheduled my test for 10/8, but if you don't have a review class or a study partner, its extremely difficult to get motivated.

Ended up doing about 400 practice questions total and trying to cram a whole year into 36 hours before the exam. It's funny how almost nothing I reviewed in that 36 hours came up on the boards. The test is basically 70% strategy, 30% knowledge and VEEB doesn't teach strategy from the materials my friends showed me from their review. I :redbeathe the Kaplan reviiew book, a bunch of their practice questions came up on the boards and their strategies helped me pass for sure.

Honestly, don't be scared by the boards and don't be afraid if you don't know everything. The stigma around the boards almost lead me to delay my test date, but I figured it was now or never. It was definitely a lot easier than I expected and I felt really good leaving the test center.

Yup, Townhouse is probably one of the better facilities you can be assigned to. The place is well maintained and the staff is really friendly. On the other hand Holly Patterson right behind the school, gave me some great clinical skills, but the staff was kind of cold and its not a place I ever want to see again.

And a hint of advice, if the instructors let you out early, don't go back to school before 1:15. Cuz if the instructors get heat from the school, forget about getting out early again.

Wht is the secret to pharm, the way it is being taught I am not that comfortable. Is there some kind of book I can use to help.
