Don't give up on the dream if you didn't. I have been running into obstacles for years. Much Love and blessings!!!
If you dont mind me asking how old are you and what type of obstacles have you been faced with? Have you been accepted to any program as of yet. I have recently been accepted to a program but I-also found out that I am pregnant. However, I don’t think I would be attending. Everyone is so upset because I have came to far not to attend. I need advice
Crystal-
While the timing may be a little off, its not the end of the world. I think it would be difficult, but I also think that you are capable of succeeding. You should still accept your seat and get through the program. How is your support system? Will people be there for you to help you through this time?
I am 26, and I got accepted into chattahoochee for this cohort. I attended Valdosta State University and got my bachelors in healthcare management after many failed attempts at getting into a nursing program at that time. I thoroughly believe that rejection is simply redirection instead.
Hi Crystal! I am sorry for the late response. Allow me to say congratulations to you! Is this your first child? I know you are disappointed right now. As Bleverette stated, it is not the end. As a matter of fact it is another beginning. Allow your baby to bring you joy. The best advice I can give on the program is reach out to the counselors, and see how they advise you. Either way it's not the end of Nursing for you. You will be able to provide a good life for your little one. And, you already know that you can get in the program. So it's not a whole lot of time carved out of your life. You can still use us for a support system. Feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]. No I don't mind telling you my age, and trust me you will be done long before my age. I applied to a few colleges since 2011. I didn't get into one program. When I made my mind up to go to the LPN program at Atlanta Tech, I was told it had been discontinued. I thought Bauder was too expensive, but I took the entrance exam and passed it. The day I was to meet with the counselor to get into the program. I found out that the entire school in Atlanta was closing down, and they made the announcement the day before. So I decided that I would go into the RN program at Atlanta Tech. I was told that I needed to take College Algebra. So I took The College Algebra. I had the school to send the official transcript electronically. I showed proof to the nursing department and was checked off on it. I was able to sit for the Kaplan. At the time, I had a 3.8 GPA and was sure I would get in. When I received a letter. I opened it up, and they said the school didn't get the transcript showing my College Algebra which was sent electronically. Really??? I called and was told they had already chosen the class. So, I just said maybe it wasn't for me. I had given up, and was not planning on going back. That was the last semester I could apply because my A&P was aged out by then. One day about 2 years ago, I was talking to a nurse, and she said that maybe those schools weren't for me, and that I should try Chattahoochee Tech, because I wouldn't have to take A&P and Micro over again. So I registered and took my first class at CTC last semester applied and here I am about 10 years later at the age of 58. So, we are all going to reach our destiny, sometimes we just have to take a detour. Be blessed, and keep living your best life...

Crystal,
I'm in the current cohort. We finish in December.
I would suggest you accept your seat and at least get through the first semester. If you are accepted but have to leave, they'll save you a spot in the next cohort and you won't have to reapply.
So take the guaranteed acceptance, because you never know if they'll change the admission requirements.
Also, we currently have 4 pregnant students right now.
Good luck!
If I were in your shoes, I would definitely accept and see how it goes. My baby girl is 6 months old and I also have a 2 year old. I’m not 100% sure how I am going to swing school into the madness but I will do it. I have a really great support system so that is helpful.
If you have a great support system I think you could do it too. I am 32 and graduated from Appalachian State in 2005 with my bachelors in Health Promotion. After several years working in management I decided to go for my dream. And I really love the idea of only working 2 days a week while my kids are growing up. Good luck to you, whatever you choose!
For all of you guys that were accepted, what were your stats?
I am looking to apply for Fall 2020 at CTC. I will have every class completed by then, even the ones that aren't required until post admission to the program.
I have taken ENG1101, SOCI 1101, PYSC1101, MATH1111, MUSC1101, BIO2113, BIO2113L, BIO2114, BIO2114L, BIO2117, & BIO2117L.
So far I have all A's, but I have not taken the TEAS entrance exam yet.
I'm not very familiar with the program so I am trying to gauge how competitive I need to get my TEAS score to be. (Obviously, I will be trying my best either way I am just putting out feelers.)
