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!

thanx for the heads up. I am glad that they are going to start from scratch with everything. The only part i am having trouble with is the nursing concepts because it is my first time learning it. As far with the anatomy and physiology and human development, that is a breeze to me cause i already took courses last year in college and did very well in them.

yo mel p dont even bother doin those assignments dat they gave u... cuz really they r gonna start from scracth the only u have to do is the interview from the green module cuz she collects them... but besides dat dont even sweat it

I posted here before that those assignments were a complete waste of time and only good if you want to be ahead of the game. I personally would only do the interviews. Best of luck to you all and stay on your grind next year. Veeb is NOT easy!

One more month until school starts.. I'm so anxious to start and get everything over with.. I spoke to the financial advisor and after going over my papers he told me I had to come up with approximately $1450 for this semester to start.. i took that info and ran with it.. i saved $1050 so far and it only took 4 weeks.. my main priority is to get my tuition and start school... I just have some questions... When is the tuition due?? When does the loan get applied to your bill? and When does financial aid come through??

hey everyone

I wanted to know if there is a different phone number to contact veeb since no one is answering the number provided in the website.

Thanks in advance.

You have to go to http://www.veeb.org and then click on LPN training. You may be calling the number on the home page, which is not for the LPN program.
