VEEB LPN Program (info request)

[PinkDove]

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!

Hi TriniAngel,

I read most of your post and your information was so helpful! I just got accepted to VEEB for Sep 2010....I have a few questions about your transition after the LPN program......How long did it take for you to get a job? and are you a RN now? did you do the LPN-RN program.....what's the starting salary of a LPN now?? Hope this is not too many questions.....hoping to hear from you.

Hi Loveall32,

I live in Elmont. I researched and saw that VEEB offered the LPN program and also got most of my info from this website. So I went to get the entrance packet studied for the test and I passed. If you look at past postings you will find all the info you need.

Completed physical today! Weight, Height, Read Eye Chart, Took BP, Urine Test, Blood Work, and PPD. I had my shot record, it was up to date so I didn't need any shots, but be prepared. Dr. asked a couple questions, listened to my lungs, looked in my ears, mouth and eyes, received a lollipop and it was over. Just have to have PPD read and it's on to orientation..... I suggest you get there EARLY on SAT...

Hi More CowBell,

I thought your physical exam was tomorrow per your previous post. Did you go to VEEB to do your physical or your private doctor?
