    I also bought a lanyard for my name badge so that I wouldn't lose it. When I went to clinicals, I was told that I could not wear the lanyard. So you may want to consider that before you purchase...

    Still selling the future accreditation! I was really not impressed with Galen at all! I still can't figure out why the tuition is so high. I am getting ready to move the the Miami/Hollywood, Fl...

    I attended Galen college for one week and one day. I was not impressed! Yesterday we had major flooding going on in the Louisville area and people had to keep leaving class to move their cars,...

  6. *BBFRN* Galen College question

    slmcdo05 replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Hi BBFRN! That makes sense to me. I have heard that during our pedicatric and delivery clinicals, we will be very limited to what we can do, hands-on. I guess that the hospitals have to be careful...

    Hi Jsadler! I actually live in Sellersburg, so the location is great for me. My husband has his clinicals in Louisville, near Fern Valley Rd. So he has more travel time than me. They have a new...

    slmcdo05 replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks BBFRN! I have been really excited about getting started and I still am, but now I am a little concerned. We just found out our clinical sites today and I got the site that one of the current...

    Hi Jsadler! I don't know the exact details, but my husband owed $1500 and he was told to pay it all by July 15th, so we paid it by check yesterday at orientation. Later, the head of the financial...

    Hi again Jsadler827! Yes, you have to have records of 2 MMR immunizations and 2 Varicella immunizations. These are immunizations that we get when we are children, but if you don't have your records,...

    Hi again JSadler! Well the physical will be something that probably has to be maintained yearly or something. Once you get your acceptance letter, then you make your financial aid appointment to...

    Hey Jsalder827! Yeah, it's alot of waiting, but once you get your acceptance letter, you'll be busy taking care of everything that you'll have to do. Especially all of the medical paperwork. Like I...

    slmcdo05 replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Jsadler! I am not sure exactly what you mean by a nurse kit, but we did have to purchase stethoscopes, penlights and bandage scissors; and of course, uniforms. I hope that this is the information...

    slmcdo05 replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I will say is that they do lie so that they can get more people interested. They tell people that they have openings to get you in there to take the test and to get you started in the...

    Hi Jsadler! Books, uniforms, fees, CPR certification and all of the medical paperwork that we had to get done, all came out of our pockets! Some of us; very few; will get residual money, but not...

  22. *BBFRN* Galen College question

    slmcdo05 replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Hi BBFRN! Some of us( July starting LPN Class at Galen) are really surprised that we were not drug tested. How can they allow students to go into hospitals and nursing homes without a drug test? Is...

    slmcdo05 replied to krltdy's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Everyone! I am curious if any of the past Galen student's can tell me what all they did at orientation? I am just curious what we are going to do for 4 hours. That seems like such a long time!...
