Well hummm.... Most of my clothes are brown so I probably will be wearing a brown shirt with a white button up over it, and jeans. Long brown hair. I wear a small silver necklace with 2 hearts in a circle. I am African American by the way. I hope I d...

Kudos to you!! I will be starting the LPN to RN Bridge there May 18th. There is an orientation there on May 5th, that I will gladly be there to learn more. This will be my first time at Galen. I actually am moving to the area to attend the college du...

Sweetie, all you have to do is work for a public sector such as the VA, Health Dept, Jail or Prison. The government will pay back most of your loans and they will do a little bit more each year you work with them. I wish I could remember the website,...

Well I will add my 2 cents: I did my research starinfinite...and I came up with this(congrats on your ARNP, u go gurl) Galen offers LPN to RN Bridge at 24K for 15 months. Yes, it is not accredited. You cannot go to USF for your BSN. BUT..... you can...

Here is my 2 cents: Why don't you try working in Psych or Corrections? Think about this, Tampa turns out nearly 150 graduates of Nursing each semester, from the various colleges around. Most graduate nurses want to work in Hospitals to get the valuab...

There is this one CNA whom I worked with...... I was a brand new Nurse, straight out the gate. I was all but 1 month with my uppity new license. Then, she came running down the hall shouting, "Come Quick!!!" I went down there and there was this sweet...

I started out as a Receptionist(and darn proud!) then I became a CNA, then a Medical Assistant, then an LPN. Do you think I am going to stop before I have ARNP behind my name, just because a few old hens in the henhouse.......uh uhh...wrong answer! K...

Well, I went to CFCC, and lets just say that my comments about it would be somewhat unfavorable. I attended there for my LPN program, and it was quite difficult. I was told that in order to get into the RN Bridge, you must take at least 9 Pre-Req's a...

You're welcome. There are a lot of people on here who continue to say that you cannot get your BSN, post Galen, when in fact, you can. You can attend Galen for your RN then to University of Phoenix for your BSN & MSN. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

i would report this to the d.o.n a lot of hospitals are promoting retention-retention-retention! let them know that this "resource" chick is being condescending,over bearing and rude. let them know that she treats you as if you are stupid, bringing ...

Just stay Prayed Up kiddo.

Unfortunately, there are Nurses like that everywhere. Thats why they say Nurses eat their young. When I see a "Newbie" with the deer in the headlights looks, I go over to her in My Southern accent and say "Come on gurl lets get this done so we can go...

I agree Batman, we should not have to pick up and check up behind them. But I check them because there are some lazy ones. I have yet to hear about a facility complaining about CNA's causing decubes on patients. Its always "the Nurse should have..." ...

You have to kinda "BOLO" (be on the lookout) when it comes to CNA's. If they dont like you, they can set you up. Weird Story...(I gotta million of em)..... There was Nurse Nasty Attitude. She was so rude to everyone, even me! So, her CNA's set her u...

Well I have worked in Corrections in Marion, Citrus, Union, Lake, Sumter and Alachua Counties. I ABSOLUTELY love it. You will know on your first day if Corrections is for you. Let me know if you have any questions. I have worked for numerous facili...

Well here is a more updated Pay Scale for Ocala. Places like Hawthorne Village, TimberRidge, New Horizion and Palm Gardens will start you off GN at 19 to 22/hr. Marion County Jail-18/hr (across the board) Corrections(Prisons) 16/hr with Benies, 21-24...

Wow I'm kinda scared to say anything. Yikes!:bowingpur

Greeting fellow posters!! I will be a FULL TIME college student at Galen College. I chose them because there was no waiting list or Difficult to pass Pre-Reqs. You know at a few of the Community Colleges(they shall remain nameless), if you are an LPN...

I have been in the Florida Dept of Corrections for about 4 years. I ABSOLUTELY love it. I enjoy the pay. By the way the pay can be very good there. I love what I do. I have only had one imate disrespect me. He then apologized the next day. When I ask...

Good Morning, Well, I currently am enrolled in the LPN to RN program at Galen. I have to admit that I will start my first day in May. I went to the campus and spoke with a few students that were lingering in the hall. They all told me that if you put...
