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!

I was going to say wow they are testing that late but testing did start late this year I guess due to the horrible weather. I wish you the best of luck on your exam and you found the right resource .because this thread is so informative.

Congrats to all who have passed their pre-entrance exam. I am currently a VEEB student and wanted to let you know not to hold your breath. You might be waiting for a few months for an acceptance letter. I tested march 17 of last year and didnt get my acceptance letter until July 21. Im not saying you have to wait that long for one but dont expect it to come right away because they are still testing. But enough of that. I would recommend you all mentally prepare yourselves for 11 months of studying....studying and studying. This program is intense and you need to extremely focus. If you have a job you might want to consider to decrease your hours or just have no job. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Hey GLady17 I feel like I know you after reading this thread over and over and over again:idea:. I noticed that the people who end up taking the test later ..(march time frame) they end up waiting the longest for an acceptance letter versus people who tested earlier (february time frame). its seems this was also because of the bridge program and waiting to find out who would pass the 2nd exam. This year however they said no bridge program they would keep testing until they had 200 students. So things may be different I just hope mine is in the mail. I was very happy to read that you received your acceptance letter. I cant imagine how excruciating that was..now onto another topic ...I would like to put my name in the bucket for those book. I will be back with questions

Will there be LPN jobs available or will they slowly phase out like the ASN degree? Also, what is meant by the bridge program? Is it the RN program (Helene Fuld) that VEEB graduates go if they've maintained an 85 avg?
