You're welcome! :)

Hi jsadler827! The skills you do for cpe's in 2nd qtr are nasal tracheal suctioning, nasogastric tube insertion, piggy back IV, med administration, and insulin administration. Hope that helps! :)

Hi jsadler827! You will use your paperback Fundamentals book in 2nd quarter. You won't use the hardback one again though. :)

daydreams, you will need to call the school and set up a financial aid appointment with a financial aid advisor. When you meet with them they will explain everything to you. They are very helpful! I had to get student loans, but I didn't get very much help because of mine and my husband's income from the previous year put together. It all depends on your income and they always go by the previous year's income. Good luck! :)

You're welcome! :)

Hi jsadler827! I am currently a student at Galen. The mailboxes they are talking about are in filing cabinets located at both campuses. They aren't really mailboxes. There should be a file folder inside the filing cabinet with your name on it and that is where you will receive stuff from the school. Hope that helps! :)

No problem! :)

Hi daydreams! I am currently a student at Galen and I LOVE it!! I am half-way done with LPN. The courses aren't too bad as long as you study. I have to do a lot of studying, but I just tell myself that it will be worth it in the end. If you don't study, then the courses will be pretty hard. You can do it! Good luck and let me know if you have anymore questions! :)

Hi wishinguponastar! Congrats on getting accepted into the program! I am a current student at Galen. I am almost finished with my first quarter. I LOVE Galen!! It is such a great school and I have made so many great new friends. It is a very fast-paced program (if you are going to be in the day classes). I have to study a lot! The instructors give you power points and I suggest you read those. There is no homework during first quarter. It is just all studying! You will get the hang of it though after a couple of weeks. It goes by so fast too!! Good luck! If you have any other questions, just ask! :)

Boy am I glad I didn't choose to go to MedTech after reading these posts!! I got in to a nursing school in Louisville, Kentucky called Galen College of Nursing. I started last week and absolutely LOVE it!! They treat everyone equally and everything is done the way it's supposed to be done. It's great! I am so happy I decided to look into other schools besides MedTech! I don't know of any other nursing schools in the Greenwood area though, UnhappyMTCstudent! I'm sorry!! Good luck though! :)

Wow, that is really short notice, Laurencarol! Congratulations though for definitely getting in for the October class!!!!

Thank you so much INparrothead!! :)

Sorry, slmcdo05! We must have both replied to jsadler at the same time...haha! :)

Hi jsadler827! It takes one week to get your results back. Good luck!! :) Also, kltdy thanks for posting the info about the books! I have a question though, which classes do we have the first quarter? I looked at the book list on EdMap and it showed all of the classes for the whole year. I only want to buy the books for the 1st quarter right now. Thanks!! :)

Thank you krltdy! I figured it might just be the top, but wanted to make sure.

Hey slmcdo05! I haven't ordered my NanCo top yet. I went on the website and saw that the price is $34. Does that include the white scrub pants or is the top by itself $34? Just wondering. Thank you! :)

I got your message on Facebook. I replied back to you! Thanks for the info about the discount!! I'll be sure to take my paper with me when I go. Have a great weekend! :)

Thank you so much slmcdo05!! I live in Indiana, so going to the Jeffersonville location would probably be way easier for me. I didn't realize there was one in Jeffersonville. Did the sheet with the addresses come in our packet? If it did, then I'm sure I have it. If I don't then I'll ask you for the address! I found a stethoscope online for only $13. It's pink!! Haha! Thanks again!! :)

Hey slmcdo05! Where is Cardinal Uniforms located? Also, is Galen's logo already on the uniforms or do they put it on and you come back to get them later?

Thank you so much for the info cnicholsLPN!! So, they will actually tell us which books we need and which ones we won't even use? When do they tell us? Thanks again!! Have a great night! :)

hi leeroijaewon! i just went to www.amazon.com and searched for a pink stethoscope. it was only $13.99!! i don't really care about getting an expensive one until after i graduate. good luck at your financial aid meeting! i don't know what all happens at the financial aid meetings because i don't have mine until wednesday. i'm sorry i couldn't be of more help! :)

I ordered a pink stethoscope the other day! I also ordered a pair of pink bandage scissors. Also, does anyone know how much the Hepatitis shots cost? I found a place in my hometown to get the TB shots for only $5. I'm getting my physical done at my regular doctor. My financial aid appointment is Wednesday. Hopefully I can get all of the money stuff taken care of!! Hope everyone had fun at Mike Linnig's tonight! I wish I could have been there! Can't wait to meet you all!! :)

Hey preemiemama! So, you can buy the ceil blue scrubs from Cardinal Uniforms and they already have Galen embroidered on them? Can we buy the white pants anywhere or do we have to buy them from Cardinal Uniforms too?

Hey! I just joined your group on Facebook, preemiemama! My name is Lori. That was such a good idea!! :)

Thank you so much for the information, preemiemama!! That explains why she hasn't returned my calls or email then...haha! I will call her first thing Monday morning. Do any of you suggest a good lender to go through for the student loans? I already have some previous student loans through Sallie Mae. Do you think I should just go with them or is one of the other lenders to choose from better?
