Choose your path from one of Galen College of Nursing’s focused programs. Each creates a way for you to enter nursing or move your nursing career forward. Every program is pure nursing.

Looking for speed? The fastest route into nursing is to become a licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/LVN). Our PN/VN diploma program prepares you to take the NCLEX-PN® in as little as one year.

Your most flexible career options come after you earn your registered nurse (RN) license. Choose our associate degree nursing (ADN) or 3-year baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN) program to prepare for your NCLEX-RN® licensure exam.

Once you’re an RN, you can shape your nursing career toward a specialty or a new role in leadership or education. Complete your BSN, add a master’s degree—expand your possibilities, all online for our post-licensure (post-RN) students.
