Galen College of Nursing is a private nursing school with multiple locations in the United States .[1][2][3][4][5]
The college was established in Louisville, Kentucky, by Humana Inc., in 1989, and was originally known as Galen Health Institutes.[6][7] The college originally offered only a one-year licensed practical nurse (LPN) program in Louisville, San Antonio, Texas,[8] and St. Petersburg, Florida.[6]
In 2005, the college gained accreditation from the Council on Occupational Education which permits the college to offer the two-year Associate of Science in Nursing degree that enables graduates to become registered nurses (RNs).[6] In connection with these changes, the college adopted its current name, Galen College of Nursing.[6] HCA Healthcare purchased a majority stake in the organization in 2020.[9] The school now offers an additional online Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) programs for RNs who wish to further their education.[10]
