VEEB LPN Program (info request)

Published

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!

AKMADA - I just moved from Freeport about a week ago. It's been two weeks since I handed in my reference letters and I was told then that it would take a few weeks.

I just need to get to the office to change my address to make sure I receive the acceptance letter or hope the post office forwards it. =/ :redpinkhe

hey guys, well I got my scores back, I got a 13.0 in reading and a 8.3 in math, the requirement is 9.0 since I came so close I am eligible for the bridge program, I am definetly going to do the bridge God willing, I have to go in on April 7th for an interview, the bridge is a summer remedial class and once u are done u take the test again, so I will be studying math like crazy from now to then, anyone ever taken the bridge?

Hey NYMOM I thought they were not having the bridge program this year...The lady who tested us on 2/17 said no bridge this year,,hmm,,they cant make up their minds...sorry to hear about the math,,and happy to hear u will take the bridge,,,are they interviewing u for the bridge only or did they decide to do interviews this year even though they said they weren't...Crazy!!!! At least your mind can be at rest with the test scores,,,now round two!!!

Yes I am taking the bridge also. Interview on 4/8/09.

I figured they would do the bridge, since its money lost if they didn't. It was 500 last year. Is it still the same price now?

And from what I've heard the bridge actually goes over material given in the 1st semester as opposed to actually completely reviewing for the re-take.

As you would imagine it caused a lot of disappointment when people didn't fare better on the re-take.

Man, VEEB is a mess :chuckle

Hey grindin, so did a lot people fail the retake last year?? Do u know if the retake is harder than the first? Or is it the same?

NY-MOM...im sorry to hear about your test, i just wanted you to know that i read all the threads and i was really praying for you. You have a second chance, stay positive, im sure you can do it. I took my test exactly a month ago today. At least there is some hope with the bridge program if my results are no good....

Waittt there is a re test??.. Western boces is giving tests on the 15 n 25th of this month and on may 9th i believe..

The TEAS consists of four sections, Mathematics, Reading, Science and English and Language Usage. A review of basic concepts and theories in each area is recommended.

• Reading – paragraph comprehension, passage comprehension and inferences/conclusions (40 items, 50 minutes).

• Math – whole numbers, metric conversion, fractions, decimals, algebraic equations, percentages and ratio/proportion (45 items, 56 minutes).

• Science – science reasoning, science knowledge, biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, basic physical principles and general science (30 items, 38 minutes).

• English and Language Usage – punctuation, grammar, sentence structure, contextual words and spelling (55 items, 65 minutes)

How do I know if I passed the TEAS?

Many schools set a passing standard based on TEAS performance. With Western Suffolk BOCES, the passing score is 50 percent on Math & Reading.

hey NY mom I will be taking the bridge ;)

When i tested on 2/11 they said there would be no bridge program. It seems as though most of what VEEB does is inspired by making more money.

I just hope there's enough room for those who passed and get acceptance letters because they are now designating spots for those who are going to do the bridge program and for those who were held over from last year...:icon_roll

dose anyone have any info about the bridge!

i am happy i don't have do all over next year.
