I thought I would pass along some info I recieved this morning for those of us waiting to hear back from Calhoun. I recieved this info from a press release at the chamber of commerce (I am a member and they sent this info out in a newsletter). Anyway, they said that applications were up 36% from Fall 2008 applications and gave the number breakdown as follows.
The comparison of 2008 to 2009 applications by program is below:
2009: ADN/RN: 544 2008: 449
2009: PN (Practical Nursing): 211 2008: 161
2009 PTE (Part-Time Evening): 277 2008: 145
Beginning this fall, the college will now admit two classes of Associate degree nursing students - one in August and one in January, a first for Calhoun. According to McGill, a total of 200 students will be admitted for the August class -- 120 associate's degree (ADN)/RN students and 80 licensed practical nursing (LPN) students. One hundred additional ADN students will be admitted in January 2010.
