  4. Starting school in Nov. Scared to death

    I did the same thing. I quit a great paying job in August that I worked at for 7 years. Craziest thing I have ever done because I had no job to go to. I got my CNA and decided I would work at a...
  5. Galen Institute

    I decided that I would attend Galen despite the huge cost difference. It's worth it to me to not have to drive every day in Tampa's "Malfunction Junction". It will save me driving 2 hours a day that I...

    I passed my CNA test. It was easy but a little unnerving having Nurse Ratchet watch every move. I had pulse and resp, transfer patient and cath care. I thought I failed because I got nervous and did...
  14. Galen Institute

    One reason I was considering going to Galen is that it is very close to my house whereas Erwin is quite a drive. Galen is now a nursing college and has an RN program. If you are a Galen LPN, you can...

    What an inspiring story Cindy. I am 38 and waiting to get into LPN school. I worry if I am too old, I worry if I am good enough, I worry that I am being too selfish wanting to pursue my career when I...
