Hello All. SO glad I found the site. I guess I just need to hear from anyone else in my situation to compare plans. I am finally making the leap and starting pre-req's March 30 for the new ADN program at Chattahoochee Technical College in Atlanta, GA. I am terrified and thrilled and worried that my funding for school will run out before I even get close to graduating! I have a small severance package from being laid-off and will file for unemployment that will last for 26 weeks. Not sure what financial aid is possible (made too much last 2 years in the corporate world) but I filled out a FAFSA anyway. GA has the Hope Grant, but I've heard it will not pay for the ADN. So.... Here is my question...I already have several core classes from a previous life: (Eng 191-Composition & Rhetoric; Eng 193-Literature & Composition; Sociology-191 Introduction to Sociology; Psychology-191 Introduction to Psychology; Speech 191-Fundamentals of Speech; and SCT 100 Introduction to Computers). The classes that remain for Pre-Req's are: 191 College Algebra; Bio 193 Anatomy & Physiology I ; Bio 194 Anatomy & Physiology II; Bio 197 Medical Microbiology and PSY 291 Developmental Lifespan Psychology. Is it realistic for me to take two classes in the spring quarter; one class in the summer quarter, and my last pre-req in the fall quarter; or should I spread it out and take one class per quarter? I am trying to have everything done for the next application deadline of January 25, 2010. Help! I am so overwhelmed....if I do 2/1/2, then at least I could get a full-time job until the program starts later in 2010....but if I spread the classes out, I know my G.P.A will be awesome...Any advice would be GREATLY APPRECIATED.
