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.
