I didn't even see the first on. I won't be working thankfully but I kinda already knew it was going to be a handful. My advisor told me what to expect. I've been mentally preparing for a full plate

Galen just posted our schedules it should be in your student portal calendar I have my labs on Monday and clinical on Tuesdays

Can anyone tell me what kind of stethoscope we need for the lvn program? Do we need a single or double head?

All the books are on amazon it was brake the books down that you need per class and thr ones that are recommended. I do not know anyone personally that has taken the course but there are other students you can find on these boards just search galen and you will find boards that you can talk to other students on there is one that was posted I think that title is galen April 2014 Ive asked her a few questions and she normally gets back to me

You just have to enroll and everything is done for you the day of your class and time is what you're waiting for but the school will determine that for you. When you go to amazon you can choose the van day program and on the left hand side it has the courses listed the first 3 course numbers are for the first quater. You can verify with the program list your advisor should have given you if they didn't you can look it up in the website under becoming a student and looking at the lvn day program it will tell you how the quaters are broken down

I will be attending the oct session too. The courses Are already set up for you. Everyone takes the same classes at the same time. The book list is on the student portal with the link to amazon.

Do you need a double or single head stethoscope? I debating which one to buy

I know this really doesn't have anything to do with the thread but I just got my acceptance for the SA oct 2014 session and i was just wondering how much your uniform were and where did you order them from. when I had my meeting and walk through of the campus my advisor said that they were anywhere from 100 to 250 depending on where you got them from. I just want to get ahead of the game and start buying things slowly over the summer so that i don't have to spend close to 1000 at one time. thanks

So I got my acceptance email the very next morning so I will be starting Oct hope to see you in class let me know how it goes on your test

My admissions advisor emailed me this morning to tell me I was excepted best thing to wake up to!!!!!

I just used the book for everything except the math I used khan academy to help me do the math quick because you can't use a calculator for the math so you have to do division and fractions and percentages all on your own. I used th e book as a quide so I knew what to study but I needed the extra help. You may not need it. But it helped me alot

They use them to determine what to put on future tests so they don't count against or for you. It'sstrictly for research. You get an hr for each section 80questions for science and verbal and 54 questions for math. You can start the next section when you're finished or you can take the entire hr and then move on to the next section. I didn't even use the cd because it was compatible with my mac I just used the book and khan academy for the math portion.

I used the book I think it helped a ton. It definitely helped me prepare for what was going to be on the test. My school required 96 I got 127. I did really good on the verbal and math. The science was a lil tricky it was mostly cell functions and biology based chem. There are 200 questions but 20 are experimental so really your score is out of 180. Timing myself while taking the test Def help me to use my tI me wisely. I had about 40 mins to spare over all while the other 2 used the entire 3 hours.

Good luck to everyone that will be starting school soon. This morning I took my pax pn exam and passed with flying colors now I am waiting to see if I get in (fingers crossed). If I do get accepted I will be starting Oct 2nd at galen in San antonio. I will be getting married Oct 3rd of 2015 so on top of nursing school I will be planning a wedding eekkk. But luckily I will not be working so that means I will hopefully be able to have time for both things. Super excited to start my nursing journey. I should be getting me acceptance letter or rejection. Letter in 2 to 3 weeks until I will be one anxious individual

So, this morning I took my PAX PN exam and I got a 127!! I only needed to get a 96 that I was excited to see my passing score. The test was pretty easy but I did order the study guide from NLN so that was a huge help. The admissions advisor told me to really focus on the verbal portion of the test because they really look at the score when reviewing for admissions. The math was ironically my best score, I was terrified that I was going to fail being that you can NOT use a calculator... I've basically had a calculator glued to my hair since 6th grade. I focused a lot of studying basic math and doing tons of practice questions and even use Khan Academy online to help refresh my brain. The science is what got me I studied the science portion but thought that there would be a lot more medically related questions but it was surprisingly more biology based chemistry and cell functions. After the test I met with my assigned admissions advisor and he was really pleased with my scores so I am very hopefully that I will be getting an acceptance letter (fingers crossed). He said that the admissions counselor meet every 2 weeks but there was a possibility that they might meet today (june 18th). So there is a possibility that I might have a decision tomorrow if not within the nest 2- 3 weeks I should hear something back. I have applied for the Oct 2nd session. so fingers crossed that I get in and maybe I will be seeing some of you there with me. Good luck to everyone that is applying for nursing school and taking entrance exams!!
