    Galen does not have a BSN- just the LPN and ASN. U of L is competitive, but you have a year to get your GPA up, if it's not high enough

    ghuk- you may want to look over your case study again. Was the patient's hemoglobin low, by any chance? In other words, look at why the patient is short of air, and you may find your answer
