Chattahoochee Technical College ADN program 2020

[Surgtech97]

Hi my name is Samantha, I am currently a CST (certified surgical technologist) at CHOA, and I am considering applying to the ADN program for fall 2020! I actually completed the Surgical Tech program at Chatt Tech, and since then have been working at CHOA, I love my job there and love being a surgical tech, but really want to advance my career in the medical field by becoming an RN! I took my teas a few years ago before the surg tech program and got a 70 which is the minimum score and have a 3.46 GPA after the program. I would love to discuss with anyone thoughts about the program and any advise, about program admission, working while in the program, and tips and tricks for a higher score on the teas and CT exam!

I applied to Chatt Tech and GHC. If those don't work (I think they will), I'll look at Dalton or the ABSN at Kennesaw State.

There are still a couple of more sessions if you change your mind. It definitely looks very competitive though, so inactivity here is not representative of the # of applicants.

I applied to dalton. What’s GHC

My score points are pretty high. I’m just concerned about the critical thinking test and retaking the TEAS

Georgia Highlands in Rome. They require you have a CNA license.

Sheesh Rome is a little far from me. I did my CNA in high school but that was 11 years ago, not current so I guess that’s a no LOL.

tbh I guess it’s just nerves and getting a late start in nursing. I was pre-Med and decided at the last minute I didn’t want to go to Med school anymore and that was about 5 years ago. The good thing is having all of the science classes done but the retaking of classes sucks. As for the TEAS, I literally scheduled my test and went and took It workout studying just to see what would happen got a 73 ? I guess I’ll study this time.

What’s everyone’s stats? I have A’s in everything except Sociology (Got a C) and American Lit (Eng 2130) and got a B in that. TEAS-73

Well, I went to school a LONG time ago, so some of the classes aren't where I would want, especially since they're the EASY ones.

A's in the sciences, Psych, Soc,*** B's in humanities and math (higher level than college alg). TEAS - 84.7

had AP English, so not sure how that transfers.

I figured you were either my age or older by the way you spoke LOL. I’ll be 29 next month ? sometimes I believe I made the wrong choice about Med school. I wanted to be an OBGYB but decided on Midwifery instead.

Your scores are really good. I feel as though we would have a great chance of beating out the competition. I hear there’s no way to study for the CRIT test and you need above a 70. So that’s what’s got me like ???

Hi! I just came across this thread. I also am applying to the fall 2020 ASN program. I have a 3.6 GPA and made a 73 on the TEAS. I haven't taken the critical thinking exam yet.

I think critical thinking is by invite once you've met the other qualifications. Is that your overall GPA, or the Pre-req GPA?

hello ladies, I'm also planning to attend the ADN program at Chattahoochee tech for fall 2020. They are now only taking points for A&P 1 and lab, sociology, psychology, and humanities. I would have two A's and 3 B's. I don't have a backup idea I am putting all my eggs in one basket. I pray we ll get in.

Where has this been communicated? I talked to an adviser last week via email, and no changes were mentioned. Are you saying that even if you are done with micro and A&P 2, that won't be taken into consideration? TEAS??

And don't assume everyone is a "lady" ?
