Chattahoochee Tech Practical
Nursing Program achieves
Southeastern U.S. top 7 ranking
The Chattahoochee Tech
nical College Practical Nurs
ing program has been ranked
among the top seven Li
censed Practical Nursing
(LPN) programs in the south
eastern United States by
NursingProcess.org, which
evaluated 731 LPN programs
across this region.
“This ranking is very sig
nificant for the college, our
students, and the community
we serve,” said Chatta
hoochee Tech Dean of Nurs
ing Quetina Pittman-Howell.
“It speaks to the caliber of
our faculty and students at
Chattahoochee Tech. We
work very hard to ensure that
our students are prepared to
enter the workforce.”
NursingProcess.org based
its 2021 program rankings on
pass rates for the National
Council Licensure Examina
tion for Practical Nurses
(NCLEX-PN), academic
quality, the nursing school’s
reputation, and affordability.
An online educational re
source, NursingProcess.org
reaches out to more than
100,000 students every
month from all over the
country to help them explore
nursing education and career
options.
“The Practical Nursing
program at Chattahoochee
Tech is challenging yet re
warding,” said Pittman-How
ell. “Students must be willing
to put in the work and time
that it takes to cultivate the
skills of a practical nurse.” In
turn, she noted, these nursing
students will graduate and be
equipped with the knowledge
and skills they need for em
ployment in all areas of nurs
ing practice.
