Commission on Colleges As for finding out more about the experience of a Galen College of Nursing student I would recommend connecting with some of the individuals in the FB Group from the link below, they are all students currently enrolled at the Tampa campus expecting to graduate in the 2014/15 school year and might be able to provide you with some real insight on day to day at Galen College of Nursing Tampa. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Galen-College-of-Nursing-Class-of-201415/494751033920766?fref=ts

I personally know several people that have completed the LPN and RN programs through Galen College of Nursing who highly recommend the experience. Galen College of Nursing programs are designed to equip students with the knowledge and experience needed to be a leading professional in the field of nursing through a highly structured hands on learning approach in their programs. Galen College of Nursing also provides world class support to their students during the job search with dedicated career placement support for all students. When comparing tuition costs with other nursing programs I personally feel that the additional support Galen College of Nursing provides its students really gives them added value that nursing programs through traditional universities just can’t offer the aspiring nursing professional.

While I am not a student at Galen College of Nursing, I work very closely with Galen College and have spent a lot of time on their campuses. During my time working with Galen College of nursing I have seen firsthand not only their commitment to diversity in the workplace but their commitment to fostering a more diverse community of nursing professionals throughout the United States.
