Hello everyone! I recently went to Galen in St. Pete and really like their program and would like to start the LPN-RN bridge progam for August 15th. Does anyone live in sarasota, bradenton even tampa area that would like to study for the entrance exa...

Trying to decided if taking online classes at galen is right for me? Ive taken previous classes like nutrition and sociology online and really loved it! So im debating on taking Ap 1 and math with galen? Has anyone taking classes or have any feedback...

]Hello to all that will be starting Galen's Nursing program in November! I know it's early but I would like to see how many of us will be starting our nursing journey together. I will be starting the LPN-RN bridge and driving from SARASOTA! Good luc...

I started the bridge program on Nov 7th and originally I had ap1 online and the computers for nurses online but within the first week I couldnt handle the online ap so I switched back to the ground class and Im glad I did!!! The computer class is ok ...

Yes Yes Yes buy the study guide! I liked the cd that comes with it and thats what i used. I scheduled my test the same day of my tour for the following month. I studied 1 section a day and completed the practice test. The test is similar to the study...

I work in a rehab hospital and as an LPN the normal use to be 1:6 with room for admissions and it was the same for RNs but within the past 2years they don't allow LPNs to do admissions so now LPNs 1:7(mostly 8 max) and RNs 1:6(short staffed 7) it was...

Apply everywhere!!! I was almost at my breaking point and was accepted. I'm driving 45mins to school but its better than waiting years to get into a program! What area do you live near?

100% Right! I only used the book and the CD and the study guide matched the test exactly!

Don't feel bad at all! I had the same problem and I ended up paying out of state tuition for the class and that really made me bust my behind! The first time I took the class I had a family emergency so I failed. The second time I wasnt focused. The ...

I will be starting the bridge program in november and was planning on taking some of the classes offered online, does anybody else plan on doing this or have any info?

mma7, I was wondering how much do you know about the online classes? I plan on taking some online for quarter 1, and I cant really find anyone who has? What about you?

School comes first! Becoming an RN will open better career paths for you. This is just my opinion and I was put in this same spot a couple of months ago and I made the decison that the RN was my goal. I hope this helps, its worth the fight

Great post question! I was wondering the same thing? I was afraid try the online because of the clinical aspect? I wasn't sure if I have enough LPN experience to walk into RN clinicals and be expected to perform? :twocents:

My hospital pays for BLS and time, ACLS I have to pay for but they pay for my time

I know it sounds silly of me to say but dont beat yourself up! I had to retake a math class three times and I finally said I WILL BEAT THIS! I honestly hate math but I just sucked it up and passed the class with an A! You can do it

Ive been doing weekends for about 2years and slowly Im starting to not like it. It was fine when I only had one child and she's older but Im starting to miss things with my son. Its hard to find people to switch days because nobody wants to work 12hr...

Nursing school is very tough and not easy. Its hard and your life stops from the moment of the first class. This is why it took so long for me to decide if I wanted to return to school and have my life stop. The first time I did it I only had one chi...

I will admit it's hard at times to deal with the different accents. For me what I've found is if Im giving report or receiving report I try to make sure that it's not rushed. The extra time could help. I couldnt even imagine how it feels to have eng...

This experience happen yesterday and at the end of my shift I still wasn't sure if all had been done! Has anyone exhausted a pt's PRN medication including tylenol? All shift the pain level was a 10, the wife complained of not enough pain relief and h...

News travels around on which facility is "bad news" Im so excited that you were hired and no stress was placed to explain previous employment! :yeah:

I second that! Yow will always wonder what if. Plus having your foot in the door is awesome

Have you considered trying Galen?

Nurses I really need advice on this one! During my 7a-7p shift I had a family member that would not use the call light! Everytime I looked up he was standing infront of me with the " I just have a quick question" So after about 4hours of this I decid...

Hello everyone! I jsut wanted some feedback on this because it has been awhile since I've been in school. I start the LPN-RN Bridge program in November and I wasn't sure if there were things I should stock up on before the program starts? My hours w...

Good luck and I hope you get the job! Dont be bummed just wait and see!
