  1. Galen tampa bay hopefuls?!

    DowntheRiver replied to asaka6's topic in Florida Nursing

    What would you like to know? I was also a student returning to school after graduating with my Bachelor's from FSU. So far, it has worked out great! Galen uses the PAX-RN. If you're in the Tampa...

  2. Advice for new students

    DowntheRiver replied to Live.&.Learn's topic in General Students

    You failed becaue of one BP? That's

  3. Chem 1 vs Bio 1

    DowntheRiver replied to SEW94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I'm the only one who is going to say Chem I. However, I did my initial undergrad at FSU in Chemical Science so I'm biased

  4. Enrolled in the excelsior program

    DowntheRiver replied to ybooze01's topic in Excelsior College

    SKYPE! Or Facetime on the iPad or iPhone. I do that even with the local people I study with

  5. Galen College of Nursing?

    DowntheRiver replied to NurseJoy89's topic in Florida Nursing

    I currently attend Galen and actively participate in the SAC. We just had a meeting yesterday and SACS was brought up. The process is still on going but it looks good. I did the research myself and I...

  6. Galen or ITT tech in St. Petersburg, FL - 2yr RN program

    DowntheRiver replied to EM09's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ah, you had my friend Stephanie! She's so sweet. The scrubs come in once you order them. Order them ASAP because they do take a little bit. Mine came after 5 weeks yesterday. I bought two sets of...

  7. Galen or ITT tech in St. Petersburg, FL - 2yr RN program

    DowntheRiver replied to EM09's topic in Florida Nursing

    Clinicals start typically start in Q3. It depends on how many credits you transfer in. If you already have classes such as A&P, Math, English, and Developmental Psych you can jump from Q1 to Q3 as...

  8. Galen or ITT tech in St. Petersburg, FL - 2yr RN program

    DowntheRiver replied to EM09's topic in Florida Nursing

    Galen is wonderful. I just started Q2 of the 2 year RN program. The program has its ups and downs but I think it is well worth it. I, too, read those bad reviews and was skeptical at first. However,...

  9. Galen tampa bay hopefuls?!

    DowntheRiver replied to asaka6's topic in Florida Nursing

    You should be fine. I just started Quarter 2 this week. I studied my butt off and made a 4.0 last semester. Just make sure you come to class and pay attention. In 3 months I've already made more than...

  10. Wow, we weren't expecting that!

    DowntheRiver replied to NO50FRANNY's topic in General Nursing

    I have a story, but I was the patient. I was a student and had been going to the infirmary for about 12 weeks on and off. Just a case of the sniffles that would not go away! I thought it was just...

  11. I think I've decided to go the ASN route

    DowntheRiver replied to ryanalice's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would go the ASN route. I'm biased, though, because that's what I chose to do. I already had my Bachelor's in Chemical Science, too. I just started this semester. It is tough, but I am really glad I...

    DowntheRiver replied to ErinMcE's topic in Florida Nursing

    Let me know if you need the textbooks. I will sell mine below amazon/market value. Also, let me know if you'd like to sit down and chat with someone about the school. You may already have friends at...

  14. what color uniforms does your school use?

    DowntheRiver replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

    White top with school logo embroidered on left. Very awkward fitting. I am between a Medium and Large. Neither one fits me, ugh! White scrub bottoms that absolutely must be straight leg. Completely...

  15. Baffled

    DowntheRiver replied to GitanoRN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband to be is like that, similar to the other poster who wakes her husband up every morning. I have to wake him up every morning, even on out-of-town trips as well! He can't remember the name of...

  16. Role Call Galen Tampa Bay Spring 2012!

    DowntheRiver replied to lalaRN2014's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think as of right now most of the people posting here are RN students. Good luck on Wednesday though! Ask about the badges for me. :) Adriana, Want to get lunch on Monday? Or, if anything, just sit...

  17. Associate of Arts Degree to BSN?

    DowntheRiver replied to HawkNelson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know what the pre-reqs are like in Washington but you could compromise. What are the pre-reqs? I know here in Florida to get your AA you have to have sciences and humanities along with your...

  18. Should I forget Associates and go straight to BSN

    DowntheRiver replied to Nursing 2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say stay the route that you're on. You'll graduate a year before you would with your BSN. During that year you can work on gaining that crucial year of work experience that employers want just...

  19. Waitlist Vent/ Frustration

    DowntheRiver replied to SewVintage's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you spoken to someone at the school about your issues? If so, what do they say? When did those students apply and when did you

  20. Role Call Galen Tampa Bay Spring 2012!

    DowntheRiver replied to lalaRN2014's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey! I have computer lab and Intro with you. And yeah, I did mention about a wedding and I do have long brown hair. The tops are going to drive me nuts! What size did you end up getting? I'm waiting...

  21. Role Call Galen Tampa Bay Spring 2012!

    DowntheRiver replied to lalaRN2014's topic in Florida Nursing

    Mine doesn't have any room numbers yet, either. I was also wondering how we're supposed to get it on the first day as we don't have our badges yet? They take your picture at orientation. Orientation...

  22. Role Call Galen Tampa Bay Spring 2012!

    DowntheRiver replied to lalaRN2014's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was in the second row in the green striped sweater. I asked a couple questions, most notably if we could wear those men's tops. I do not like those women's tops at all! I tried on a medium and it...

  23. Role Call Galen Tampa Bay Spring 2012!

    DowntheRiver replied to lalaRN2014's topic in Florida Nursing

    Hey guys! Did you go to orientation yesterday? What did you

  24. Am I doing the right thing?

    DowntheRiver replied to createsomechange's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you afford to not work? Or take out student loans? I ask because the suggestions are to drop but from a financial standpoint I imagine if you could you would. I know student loans are daunting but...

  25. LPN to RN School in Tampa Fl

    DowntheRiver replied to Chloe Narcisse's topic in LPN to RN

    Just so you guys know, Galen was given Candidate status through SACSCOC. That means they moved past applicant status and into the candidate period. They just have to demonstrate a few more principles...
