Galen Tampa - October, 2015

Published

I had my meeting with an adviser yesterday and I am so excited to begin my path towards RN! It has been a dream for 10 years.

I am 28 (almost 29), getting married in September to the father of my amazing 2 year old daughter. Getting into SPC is so hard. I was working and almost made it - I was in my last semester of pre-reqs with Micro and Stats. Unfortunately my father, uncle, and grandfather passed away during the semester. Because I had withdrawn from Stats twice before, this was considered my third attempt and I was told I would not be considered for the SPC nursing program. Tough luck. (I really hate SPC.)

So I went to Galen and talked to them. Because I have most my pre-reqs done at SPC, it lowers the program cost almost $10k. I should have done this program a long, long time ago.

Anyone else starting Galen soon?

Hello everyone, I was considering this school but I work full time days and would have to find another job. It's hard finding a reasonable evening nursing program in Tampa, I'm just tired of waiting. Anyone else work full time?
