I really don't think you will have any problem at all getting in for nights. The day program is the tough one to get into. Good luck and keep us posted.

Hello again, The books can be expensive. If you know where to look, they are tons less. I get mine from half.com for much less! I most recently have been buying books that are one edition earlier and only payed $.75 plus shipping. The only differ...

Daimere, The program is about $11,000 per year. You won't have a problem getting a job. Through my clinical experience, I have met many Galen graduates and Galen has an excellent reputation in producing competent nurses.

Hello, I am just finishing up my first semester and love it so far! No pre-requisites means just what it says, you don't have to have your CNA, any English, A&P or any others. Everything is built into the program. In order to be accepted into...

wishinguponastar, I actually received my book list in the mail a few weeks ago for the day program. I do know they said the books have not changed but you may want to give the school a call and find out. Good luck and I hope you find out soon!

Hello wishinguponastar, I am also surprised we aren't seeing more people on here starting in October. I know I have been working my tail off getting all the paperwork finished! I'm almost there and I just have to get one more tb test and one more v...

leeroijaewon, I noticed from other posts you are located in San Antonio. I will be starting Galen Louisville next month. Although Galen is much more expensive than other schools I was extremeley impressed that they have 50% clinical time which allo...

Good morning wishinguponastar, Actually, the varicella boosters are not cheap at all from what I can tell. Where I live, the health dept. will give them but they must know in advance and you must pay ahead of time. I believe it's $50 per shot but d...

Wishinguponastar, That is absoluteley wonderful news. Don't sell yourself short! After all, you had to pass the test in order to get in and that's great!! Congratulations :yeah:and good luck on getting all the wonderful paperwork finished!

Thanks for answering first lady. Unfortunateley, my CPR cert is expired so I will just take it at the school as the price is very reasonable. Thanks so much and I'm sure I will have more questions soon!:wink2:

Thanks for the congrats first lady. Wow there sure is a lot to get done in the packet. I was lucky to have located my childhood shot records so I won't need quite as many shots. I was wondering if you got the optional hepatitis b vaccine. Hopefull...

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone else received their acceptance packet for October day LPN program. Oddly, after receiving a letter a few weeks ago saying I would be considered for January, I received an acceptance packet in the mail today f...

That sounds great! It sounds to me like they have been so busy getting out letters for the day classes that they haven't had time to work on evenings. I'm sure that is a good sign and I bet you will be receiving your packet within a few days! Good...

I would definiteley give them a call and tell them you were wondering if you will be receiving an acceptance packet for the evening classes. Tell them you were just needing to make arrangements to get ready if you are accepted but I think you should...

jsadler27 I'm hoping you faired better than I did. I received a letter in the mail today that stated LPN program at Galen College has a competitive admission process and class size is limited. I wasn't accepted for October but will be considered fo...

laurencarol, Thanks for posting this, it puts my mind at ease somewhat. Hopefuly, with a 172, I will get in for the October semester. Also, when did you take your test and do you know if it has anything to do with when you took it or just your scor...

Wow, now I wish i hadn't told you to call. I'm even more nervous. I have seen in other posts that it has taken up to 3 weeks for others to get there letter from the time they started mailing them. Anyway, good luck and let me know when you get you...

Hello again, I actually received an e-mail on July 27 from Mrs. Claypoole that said the third week so I'm not sure. It may be because they are behind since the new campus opened. I know my test results were delayed because of this. You could alwa...

I'm not sure what's in the book you received but I did find some info from another post. I will paste it here for you to take a look. "hey!...i took the pax pn on sat nov.15...i was nervous too but i think since i had recently taken another entrance...

Hello Jsadler, I am waiting on my acceptance packet and it's killing me. I heard from Maggie Claypoole who is the admissions manager that acceptance packets will not be sent out untill the third week of August so don't start panicking yet! I have a...

Hello again, You may not get too many responses to this since this test is so new at Galen Louisville. You can actually find quite a bit of info on it by just putting PAX-PN into the search bar. It comes up with several people from other schools t...

Hello again, I'm glad you are excited:yeah:! Well, I actually sat for one of the last CPAt exams that were administered. They just recently started to administer the paxpn test. Although the CPAT was only one hour, it was very fast paced and you ...

Hello wishing upon a star, Hopefully this message doesn't come too late for you. I just saw this thread. Provided you pass the entrance exam, I would say there is a very likely chance you will get in for the evening class. It is the day classes th...

Thanks so much for the posts and good luck with everything. Hopefully I run into you in October. Thanks again

Hello everyone, I just got my CPAt results and I scored a 172 and I took my test on July 23. I was wondering if anyone could tell me if they think it's possible that I may have a shot at getting in for the October LPN program. I heard that it depen...
