Chattahoochee Tech

JenRN30, BSN · Oct 3, 2008

I don't think most nursing programs run background checks. I could be wrong, but I don't think so. The problem she might run into is being placed in clinicals or getting your nursing license. There are quite a few people in my BSN program who have DUI's, and they have not had any problems getting placed. The president of GA BON came and talked to our class the other day, and told us that DUI's would most likely not be a problem when we applied for our nursing license. No one can say for sure if she'll have any trouble, but I think she probably won't. They look for really bad things on background checks. Also, ask Chattahoochee what drugs are students not allowed to take while doing clinicals. The hospitals have you do drug tests, and I don't know if her sleeping pills would be a problem. Good luck!

Hello All,

I just enrolled to Chattahoochee and they have the pre-req's outlined for the ADN program and they say that the actual program will start fall 09 or winter 2010.

SO are they accepting applications now for the ADn program or later?

I needed to take the pre-req's so I am starting in January. If u have all the pre req's out of the way then that may be different, but definately give them a call.

Hi,

This info is per the group advisement I attended a few weeks ago with the Nursing academic advisor:

ADN program application deadline: Jan 31, 2009 - Prereqs don't have to be done by time of application *(see below)

Req'd Prereqs:

ENG 1101

PSY 1101

MAT 1111

BIO 2113

BIO 2114

BIO 2117

The 6 prereqs listed above need to be completed by Spring 2009 for entry into the Fall 2009 ADN program. The last 4 listed cannot be more than 4 years old from the start date of the program, and you need at least a B in the 3 BIO classes (A&P I and II and Microbiology).

The 3 following classes are prereqs that can be taken while you are IN the ADN program:

SOC 1101

PSY 2103

SPC 1101

The TEAS is the entrance exam potential ADN candidates will have to take.

The advisor said they will be accepting 30 students for the Fall ADN program. Also, be aware that Chatt Tech is merging with Appalachian Tech and North metro Tech on July 1, 2009, so they are expecting a very competitive, large pool of applicants.

I hope this has helped!

This information is very helpful. This sounds like this could be a Kennesaw State situation in that there are so many qualified applicants with so little spaces available. Good luck to everyone applying.

Where did you take the online psychology class? I'm looking for an online General Psych class this summer. THanks!

Let me say, I am attending Chattahoochee right now and I have had nothing but wonderful professors!:yeah:I was thinking about their ADN program but it might not be on board even in Jan.'10, so do apply other places. I have been to numerous 3 different in the state and one online, they try hard to help but since the merger things have gotten a bit slower. We did get a new Micro professor which should help by adding more classes of Micro. I love the school but looking at GA Highlands as a matter of fact got to take SAT on the 1st of Sept and maintain the 4.0 and prayerfully I will be in at the first of 2010!
