I live in St. Petersburg and was recently accepted into the nursing program at Galen Health Institute. They are a private college, and a bit more expensive. However, the NCLEX pass rate is one of the highest among their graduates. They have an LPN program as well as an RN program. Each of them are either: Full Time Days (M-F, 8:00 - 5:00) or Part Time Evenings (M-Th, 5:00 - 9:00 or 10:00). The day program is completed in 1 year and the evening program in 1 1/2 years. Most (all) of the other schools in the St. Pete & Tampa area have waiting lists and this was a major impact on my decision to go to Galen as well. I believe their is another school in Tampa named Erwin that has a shorter waiting list. I didn't want to bother with the drive.

Thanks a bunch!! I appreciate all of the tips and resources you have given me to study. Good luck with school! I am sure you will be a fantastic nurse! Take Care!!

Thank you so much for the information. I am really stressing out about this exam. I am glad to hear that it was easy for you. Math is my down fall so I am most nervous about this portion of the test. Are there many math questions on the exam? And is it difficult math? Sorry to ask so many questions. I am trying to be as prepared as I can. When do you start Galen? Day or Evening? I am hoping to start the day program in May, I am really excited! Thanks again for all of your advice!

Hello! I am going to be attending Galen in May for the day LPN program. I am scheduled to take the entrance exam on Tuesday, January 30th. I am really getting nervous about the exam. Can you tell me how difficult this test was and what type of material is on the test. Thanks a bunch!
