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!
The study group sounds like a good idea to me, keep me posted. I never heard about the 2nd test. But i know whats on the first test See Below:
In Anatomy:
1. Know the definition of Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology.
2. Know the 5 levels of organization in the body (Its chemical, cell, tissue, organ, then the system(meaning the whole body)).
3. Know your body systems( Integumentary, Skeletal, Muscular, Nervous, Sensory, Endocrine, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic, Respiratory, Digestive, Urinary and Reproductive)
4. Get the definition if metabolism, catabolism , and anabolism.
5. Know your directional terms (Superior, Inferior, Ventral, Dorsal, Medial, Lateral, Proximal, Distal, etc)
6. Know your body planes (Sagittal, Mid Sagittal, Frontal, and Transverse)
7. Know your body cavity ( Dorsal and Ventral Cavity )
8. Know the regions in the abdominal cavity ( Epigastric, Umbilical, Hypogastric, Right and Left Hypogastric, Right and Left Lumbar, Right and Left iliac) and also know what organs are in each region.
Thats what your first test is on!
from what I've read its working for 2yrs as a lpn in a long term care facility . . . . . .they pay your tuition and you work for them for 2 yrs thjats the way I understood it. It doesnt sound so bad but I personally didnt wanna specialize in long term care but they say it is a little difficult getting a job be cause most places want 1-2 years experience so this is a guaranteed job with pay right after you graduate from the program I really dont know all the technicalities about what qualifies you but I think it is something to look into for an entry level position as a lpn. . . .hey you never know!:)
