I'm hoping you faired better than I did. I received a letter in the mail today that stated LPN program at Galen College has a competitive admission process and class size is limited. I wasn't accepted for October but will be considered for January. Let me know how you fair!

I also bought a lanyard for my name badge so that I wouldn't lose it. When I went to clinicals, I was told that I could not wear the lanyard. So you may want to consider that before you purchase one.

amberlandram1 I still have not recieved a letter of any but I am glad that they do send something out to let you know at least becuase I was worried that I would be kept waiting I will let you know if I get accepted or not if not maybe we'll both get int to January

Is anyone out there currently in the night class, or waiting to go to the October night class???:confused:

I am currently waiting to go to the October night class. I have taken my PAX-PN and passed. :wink2: I was told there were so many slots open for nights that all I pretty much had to do was pass the test and I wouldn't have any problems getting in for October. I am just wondering when I will hear about acceptance. I know that tends to be a reaccuring post on this thread, but I was just wondering if anyone else out there is having the problem as me, but with the night classes. :banghead:

Thanks!

Hi wishinguponastar! I don't know how long it will take to get your acceptance letter, but the night classes never fill up. You should be fine!

Thanks!:heartbeat

I would definiteley give them a call and tell them you were wondering if you will be receiving an acceptance packet for the evening classes. Tell them you were just needing to make arrangements to get ready if you are accepted but I think you should be. I would think you should have heard something by now and this would also insure they haven't lost your test results or your file.

Thanks! I took your advice and called and spoke to the night LPN Registar Shawn and she told me that she is working on my file, she told me to get my high school transcripts turned into her so she can close it out! I would say that is a good thing, right!?

That sounds great! It sounds to me like they have been so busy getting out letters for the day classes that they haven't had time to work on evenings. I'm sure that is a good sign and I bet you will be receiving your packet within a few days! Good luck and I would say congrats are in order!

I'm so excited!! :yeah:

Hello everyone,

I am wondering if anyone else received their acceptance packet for October day LPN program. Oddly, after receiving a letter a few weeks ago saying I would be considered for January, I received an acceptance packet in the mail today for the October program :dncgcpd:. I am so excited and if any current students have any advice for me to make things easier here is a penny for your thoughts :twocents:! I am so happy and excited but I know it is going to take a lot of hard work and dedication to succeed!

Congratulations Mommyo5!!!! You will be fine. Get ready to do a lot of reading and studying. I am in my first qtr and so far so good. As long as you stay focused, you will do just fine:) I know you are excited, as I was in your shoes just a few months ago:) Feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Also, this post has a lot of helpful information as well. It was started by one of my fellow qtr mates. Good luck to you!!
