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!

Your bill is due after you get it in the mail in September. I had some immunizations done so my balance last Sept. was 3250.

Also for those of you planning on bringing / buying a laptop for school to make note-taking easier, don't even bother. 4/5 teachers had no problem with it, but there's 1 that does and she decided to cause an uproar recently.

They don't allow tape-recording either. for "legal" reasons. :chuckle

So find a good pen that won't give you blisters.
