Chattahoochee Tech

piano · Jul 10, 2008

In respone to "GAMBA" I just started taking pre-wreks at chattahoochee tech online. I already have a degree and that eliminates me from most financial aid. They said hope grant was the way to go. I just got it! It covers tuition (as long as i'm at chatt. tech.) and gives a 100.00 book allowance. Basically...if you meet the qualifications..you will get the grant.

QUESTION FOR ANYONE: HELP!

I'm planning to transfer to Kennesaw State University accelerated nursing program. Does anyone know of grants or scholarships that I could apply for if I already have a BA degree??

Hi Piano,

I just started my first online class there too! :-) What are you taking? I'm taking Psy 191. THe Hope Grant is great! Since I'm just taking that one class I got $50 for books. Every little bit helps! How are your classes going? I wish you the best of luck this summer.

Katie, I haven't heard anything yet on the app deadline for the ADN program. I believe the app deadline for next summer's LPN program is 9/6/08 and the deadline for next Fall's LPN program is 12/6/08 (I think!). Maybe the ADN program deadline will correspond with one of these?? As soon as I hear anything I'll post it here.

Awesome, thanks! I've tried to call several times but I got put on hold for like an hour. Does anyone know how to put an attachment in a post? I've got the pdf brochure for the new ADN program from Chatt. Tech but I don't know how to attach it! It says the prereqs are A&P I, A&P II, Micro, Composition (Engl. 1101 I guess?), Lit, College Algebra, Psych, Lifespan/Dev. Psych, Intro to Computers, Sociology, and Speech (Communications?).

Does the flyer say when you can apply? Do you know where I can get a flyer?

PreRN Katie · Jul 31, 2008

It didn't say when to apply and I don't know where to get one. A girl from one of my classes forwarded it to me...she says she got it from the school, so I bet the best thing to do is probably contact the admissions office and ask who is handling all the nursing stuff. Sorry I'm not more help!

Does anyone know when the application deadline for the 2009 RN program is?

Hey all!

PreRNKatie:

I'm currently at Chatt Tech too. Due to the flyer I have there isn't a deadline for the RN prgm because the admissions process hasn't been finalized yet. The flyer says to contact D. Hodges at the Mtta Campus w/ any questions.

Hope this helps...

Do anyone have anymore Info about this program? I received the flyer and it's not really saying anything.

How does Chattahoochee Tech calculate pre-reqs? Do they average multiple attempts in a course?

Okay, I have a question, need a positive answer. What are the tests they give you when you enter the LPN program at Chattahoochee tech? My girlfriend just got a DUI on sleeping medication she is falling apart, and in the same classes as me.I mean, this is a misdimeanor, not a felony. She wants to drop out completely. I told her not to. She has a 4.0 GPA and only one pre-req to go before she is done for the LPN program. Does anyone know if they do a background check just to enter the LPN program, because she got probation for the DUI, but its her first one, so in Georgia, with the first time offender, it will be removed from her record. But she is worried that she wont get into the LPN program being on probation. By the time she is through with the LPN schooling the probation will be done, and the DUI will be off her record, so she is okay right? I hate to see her just dump all the hard work. After all it was sleeping mediation for Gosh sakes, the poor girl was shafted I think.........too bad.:typing

She needs to talk to her lawyer and the administrators at the nursing program to find out if they run a background check or not, or if it would even be an issue. Hopefully she won't just drop everything before she even finds out. I hope everything turns out alright for her and I'll keep my fingers crossed!

How does Chattahoochee Tech calculate pre-reqs? Do they average multiple attempts in a course?

GaMommy81,

I just asked an advisor this question on yesterday. If you retake a class to get a higher grade then the two grades are averaged together. For example: Math 191 1st attempt Grade C = 2.0 gpa

Math 191 2nd attempt Grade A = 4.0 gpa

So...

2.0

+ 4.0

_______

6.0/2=3.0

Which means your new Math 191 gpa is a 3.0 or B average I hope this makes sense.

Yes, but She needs to know exactly what tests does chattahoochee tech run before entering the LPN program? I think there is a physical, dental, I know there is a entrance exam, we all know that, but is there an actual background check just for getting into the LPN school? Because by the time she is through with the school all this will be off the record, at least in time for the boards. Who here has actually been through the LPN school at Chatt, or is currently enrolled, or knows someone who is? please share ! :banghead:
