I just wanted to let everyone know that I found a promo( coupon) code for half.com and it saved me $5. Enter SAVEONBOOKS09 in the promo code box and it will take $5 off of your order! Every dollar...
Hi INparrothead! The new campus is scheduled to open August 1st, replacing the old, scary downtown campus. From what Angie Metten told me one group will go to the new campus and one group will stay...
I just wish that they would tell us what group we are in (officially). I have heard the rumors about being divided alphabetically, but I won't believe it until I see it. Angie Metten told me over a...
Hi jsadler! When I applied to Galen I asked them if they wanted a copy of my U of L transcript and they said no. For the LPN program, they only care to see your high school transcript and your ACT...
You are right Krltdy, the shirts can stand on their own! I really hope that a few washes and some fabric softener will help. I don't get the extra piece of fabric in the pocket either! You should...
Hi everyone! We just received out Nanco shirts in the mail. They are even stiffer than the blue scrubs that we got from Cardinal Uniform. We purchased our stethoscopes from them for $16 and they...
Hi again Ladsdrs07! I will send you a message on facebook. Just check your inbox when you get a chance. I am not 100% sure, but I think that you have to have the paper with you to get the Galen...
Hi lasdrs07! We went to the Indiana location in Jeffersonville. There are 3 locations in Louisville also. The Galen logos were already embroidered on them, so were were able to bring them home with...
Hi all! My husband and I went to Cardinal Uniform and got our learning lab scrubs today. I like the men's a lot better; their shirts are a normal length. Mine is really long with 2 big pockets....
Thanks for the info CNicholsLPN! I guess when we get close to finishing our LPN at Galen, I will see how Ivy Tech is looking as far as the wait and admissions deadlines go. Good luck to you
Hey Lauren! Don't get yourself worried over the CPAT!! It is ridiculously EASY! I am like you; just did 2 years at U of L and they wanted me to take it because my ACT and SAT scores are too old. My...
IUS also takes Galen's RN degree towards it's RN to BSN online program. I am probably just going to stay with Galen until I get my RN. Then I will probably do the IUS thing, it is much cheaper than...
Yes, Galen is very expensive, especially compared to Ivy Tech and JCC. The problem is that you don't know how long you'll have to wait to get into either one of their nursing programs. You don't...
Galen's accreditation is only through The Council on Occupational Education. This limits you to which schools you can go to after Galen to get your RN to BSN; if you even want to. Currently, Galen...
Hi again! I meant to tell you all that when I asked the health nurse if she liked Galen, she said that they are very hard on you. She said that she was glad when she graduated though, because she...
Hi everyone! I just wanted to let everyone know about a very cheap option for immunizations. I am sure that everyone has probably taken care of mmr, varicella and tb skin tests, but Hep B is...
You are right BBFRN! We have all joined Galen's facebook page, so we know more about eachother, but we still don't know who else is on here! Thanks for your concern! I don't know what color...
Hey Preemiemama! Have you had a chance to look at the Nanco stuff online yet? If so, are you getting a lab coat? It doesn't say that it is required, but everyone in the Galen website pictures has...
Hi Lee in San Antonio! Of course it is ok for a guy to be a nurse! Lots of men become nurses; my husband is getting ready to start Galen in Louisville, Ky with me. I have always heard that...
That is great Leahmarie(Allison)! Just so you know, Galen is on a quarter system, so the next class that you can get into is around October 27th. Right now is good timing to be getting in, you can...
Hi Acorne! I had my financial aid appointment on May 19th and I haven't purchased anything yet. I still have to get shoes, uniforms, and equipment. Also books, but they will not put the new book...
Thanks for the links! I need to get busy buying my scrubs and equipment. I am really getting excited. I have been looking at various state's hospital websites and searching for RN jobs. Some...
