Yes, I was fortunate to go straight through the program in just one try. My GPA was 3.20 and I graduated with only half of the people that I started out with but about five of the people I graduated with had repeated a quater so we were happy to graduate and be done with the program

If all goes well I should be starting in the Fall as well. I am finishing up some pre-reqs this Summer.

I just graduated from the LPN program on May 2nd and YES it is very very expensive but it gives you a very good base especially if you are planning on going on to get your RN. I do have to say that their interaction with the students is VERY POOR to say the least which is why only a handfull of the graduating class are returning for their RN. Having to pay almost 25 grand for RN school is tough to swallow, knowing that they are still not accredited is another issue but couple that with dealing with extremely DISRESPECTFUL administrative staff and it is just not worth it. The new RN class that started in mid May was full but by the time they actually started classes only half of us showed up and after a week a few more dropped out and opted to go to a dfferent school.The majority of the graduating class are actually enrolled at SPC for the Fall transition program and the remainder are going to enroll for the Spring program at SPC. You learn quickly at Galen to keep your mouth zipped and not say anything to administration eventhough they are completely wrong in regards to any situaion because they will make the rest of your stay there a living hell. I still have lots of friend there that have not yet graduated and they say it is getting worse each day and they can't wait to graduate and NEVER return back to Galen. This is a shame as Galen has a very good program but I think they forgot that for the school to continue to flourish they need students to attend and referals go a long way. To make matters worse we walked down the graduation line without our diplomas because they claimed the company mailed out the wrong ones. We were promised that we would receive our diplomas within two weeks but guess what? to date we DO NOT have our diplomas and as of this week they don't know when we will get them. I took my NCLEX PN boards yesterday and found out today that I PASSED!!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL

hang in there! i took mine yesterday and got 187 questions, my friend got 85 questions and we both left crying because we swore we did not answer questions correctly and believed we failed. i did not sleep all night. we both checked the doh website this morning at 9:20am and it said "passed" for both of us. the majority of my classmates who have taken the tests so far were sure they failed and they all have passed. you most likely passed. good luck!!!

Hello, My experience is that I graduated as an LPN on May 5, 2008 and started applying then but every employer contacted told me to contact them back after I passed the NCLEX. I was nervous throghout the whole wait period but I took the test yesterday and found out I passed today so I called the employers back and they all set up interviews with me after I faxed them my unofficial proof of passing. I hope this helps and GOOD LUCK.
