VEEB Nassau County School of Practical Nursing

"PLEASE READ THIS FOLKS This school gave me a difficult time : Tested in May ,made a deposit early June and couldn’t attend in September 2023 due to a motor vehicle accident.(THIS SCHOOL DO NOT HAVE ENROLLMENT IN JANUARY ONLY ONCE PER YEAR IN SEPTEMBER )School was informed in July/August Student did not complete the admission process ,did not do physical nor orientation and VEEB wanted to take out $500 from deposit before refunding. Had difficulty getting a letter to substantiate the loss . Reached out to JFelder who proposed a solution only if I attend next year Sept 2024 noting they don’t have January enrollment only September. Bottom line is if for any reason you cannot attend you will lose money even if you did not start classes.No provision is in place for mayhem or unforeseen occurrence. I MUST ALSO ADD MY COMMENT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROGRAM IN REGARDS TO THE COURSE OR TEACHING ,PASS RATE OR SUCCESS RATE AS I DID NOT GET TO ATTEND AS EXPECTED… MY COMMENT IS BASE ON WHAT I EXPERIENCED. I DO BELIEVE THAT THE ONE YEAR PROGRAM IS GOOD AND MY REVIEW IS NOT A REFLECTION OF THE SCHOOL’S SUCCESS RATE OR TEACHING POTENTIALS."

"I'm planning to take an entrance exam next year. Can anybody recommend a website for study materials? Also, will there be questions from science and social studies, similar to the GED? Your advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you."

"A compact and thorough program. This may seem paradoxical, but this program helped me achieve both. At over 50years of age,time was not on my side and I wanted to learn fast about the American Healthcare System and whether I had the stripes to become a part of the Noble Profession of Nursing. VEEB did just that! What did I learn?........ Nursing is no longer the profession where you are expected to just be reactive and follow directions of the Provider but in addition to this, be critical thinkers that assess and make decisions that compliment the Provider's instructions. This can only be to the benefit of the patient. VEEB did just that! Every Lecturer emphasized this in their teachings. I'll conclude by saying if you choose this program you WILL choose 11 months of every emotion you can think of but you know what ........... the last 2 emotions I experienced on August 11th 2023 when I collected my certificate on stage, were being triumphant and being thankful to my Professors for their dedication in preparing me to be a Nurse that every patient longs for!!! Tools I received that were a part of tuition include a chrome book, Clinical Bag with Bp Kit and Pen light, access to all textbooks electronically, access to The Point and Evolve platforms and clinical sites that exposed me to real world of nursing. THANK YOU VEEB!!!"

"I don't recommend this school to anyone unless you're willing to go through tremendous stress just to obtain your LPN diploma. We were the first class to take the new nclex in 2023. They were worried about students not passing this new nclex exam so they began bombarding us with unrealistic amounts of homework alongside studying for multiple exams all at once- which is barely feasible unless you're sleeping 4 hours every night. I've had prior bachelor's degrees and I've never dealt with so much stress in my life. You will have a much easier time in a program where things are taught at a more reasonable pace. The teachers all know their stuff and are MOST are pretty good teachers. Except for Ms. Rimpel who would try her best to make your life as difficult as possible. She enjoys confusing students by intentionally making her multiple-choice answers as tricky as possible and by giving ridiculous amounts of homework. I would be careful if you are a weaker student."

"The clinical classes at VEEB are a total mess. Its been 4 months into clinical classes and I have barely learned anything. There are not enough instructors and too many students which impedes time for one-to-one instruction. On the other hand, classroom instructors are mostly great. Its an extremely demanding program and time management is key to doing well."
