Galen College Graduates!!! Need your help! please

NurseSpeedy, ADN, LPN, RN · Oct 21, 2015

Galen is approved by the BON to take the RN boards in my state. State to state requirements for licensure endorsement may vary, I know they do with the LPN license but it has to do with state requirements (such as completing a clinical segment for a specialty that may not be required in the original state). I would check with the California BON for clarification on what they would require/accept.

They are regional accredited by SACS, which means that their credits are most likely to transfer to another college for further education (My community college that is ACEN accredited has already stated that they would accept this college for an RN to BSN student). Galen is in the process of getting ACEN accreditation but does not have it yet.

The college is expense and if you can get into a community college I would recommend that route. I enrolled prior to them putting a time limit on science transfers, otherwise I wouldn't be willing to pay what they are asking but I transferred the 49% of my credits that they allowed so it cut the cost for me as well as time. I feel the quality of the education has been good and many hospitals in my area hire their graduates. Hope this helps a little anyway

Pree07 were you able to attend Galen college? If so does it meet requirements for Cali. I'm in the same situation. I was interested in the Tampa Bay campus since they are acen accredited.
