Veeb 2018-2019

Updated:   Published

Hello ladies, hope everyone is having a happy new year and is working towards accomplishing goals. I was wondering if anyone plans on attending the LPN program at Veeb this year. I'm taking the entrance examination the 20th of January. I'm so anxious abt school tht I've already applied for financial aid. Is anyone else excited? Any advice from students tht are still attending? Upon graduating how much can a new lpn earn in the first yr?

Is there anyone in the program right now? Are you able to tell us which places you are doing clinical? Is it local?

You wouldn't necessarily need a laptop. The school does have a library you can use with computers and textbooks you can use. It may be easier on a computer because you can open another tab to look up questions you need help with. For the most part you may need to cover up your tattoos, but it may also be dependent on your clinical instructor. I believe you can wear white long sleeves in clinical and you can wear navy blue or white long sleeves in class. The booklist may change, but you should recieve on the day of your orientation. I may possibly hold off getting a computer, for now. You're best bet would probably ask during your orientation, because I think the school is receiving technological advancements, not exactly sure what they are. And yes every single test is multiple choice, unless you need to take a make up exam. So please, always be on time on test days

I know exactly what you mean! It honestly is a mixture of both, depends on the instructor really. I think some may forget exactly what they discussed and and not realize what they didn't discuss

The school may provide you with a tote bag, a pen light, a stethoscope, a calculator and a planner. These arent necessarily top of the line, but they'll suffice. You will need number 2 pencils for your tests, and a little notebook you can fit in your pocket for when you need to write things down in clinical. You can also invest in a manual blood pressure cuff if you'd like so you can practice on family and friends if you need the extra practice, because you can only take blood pressures manually in the first semester. Also, the calculator they supply you with is the only one you can use on the exam when needed, so take great care of it, and never forget it. Otherwise you'll have to do your drug calculations by hand, or buy another one from them, which in my opinion isn't worth it

Clinicals are about every other week starting somewhere around October. One section will be in school and the other will be in clinical. It's usually every other week you guys rotate, but sometimes you guys may do 2 weeks if clinical at a time and then 2 weeks of class. I think it depends on the holidays, they try to give each section about the same amount of hours in clinical.

You will receive a letter in the mail on when to take it.

Also guys, know what your learning style is! I personally learn better when I write things down and through repetition, especially in clinical. Other may be auditory or visual learners. We're not allowed to record the lectures, but you can record yourself reading your notes and play them on your way to school or whenever you're free!

Today should be the last day of testing. Soon we'll get a date for orientation
