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'm sorry to hear that Malenurse, as long as you know you tried your best that really is all that matters. Hey you did good on the reading portion, hopefully next year you can try again and try taking a prep course in math at Ready To Pass in West Hempstead. I also heard CNA's making 18.00 an hour at Winthrop Hospital to start..thats my second option..I hope you don't let this get you down, keep your head up and keep going!!

[Malenurse20]
