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!

Hey guys can you recommend a good professor for Amp 1 please I am registering even though they are all online ??

Also apparently the TEAS being waived was fake news, they cleared it up and said that it was just extended to a later date ?

I would take Dr. j. Forrester ! canton ga she is wonderful. I took her for micro and a&p2 ... A&P 1 is harder and a lot of body systems. I would suggest to take it in fall. hopefully we all get in. I have a 73 on TEAS I just took today

Hey thank you. I know I wasn’t going to be able to make the application session for the fall. So I want trying to take amp to be able to apply for the next application session. Didn’t u take your TEAS at home if so how was that for you?

nope, I'm hoping with my grades and a wonderful grade on the critical exam will make me more competitive. I took it twice this year. I wish you luck

Speaking of the critical thinking exam, it was supposed to be in May. now it's pushed back to late July. There will be some last-minute scrambling to determine who is in.

I wish they were taking ALL the grades since my only B is in A&P 1. I actually retook it and got an A, but CTC wouldn't take it because the systems are covered in a different order (some in A&P 2 instead of 1).

RIGHT! I have a B in A&P 1 as well as lab. I tried my hardest. Everyother class I received an A including Micro. It's no way of studying for the critical exam so we will have to pray

I hope that you guys get in ??. Quick question because I can’t seem to get to anyone at the school smh. Bio 213 +L and 214 +L and possibly micro seems to be full for Summer and fall that works with my schedule and CTC, can I take it elsewhere and still be able to apply to the program for the fall semester?

I don’t see why not but If you aren’t already enrolled in another institution, you may or may not be accepted to the school, get financial aid, and enrolled in time. Especially during these current times

[Kimmy86]

I know smh. Thank you ??

If one of those is A&P 1, I would say no. Summer semester will likely end after they have made selections or really close to it. It's not likely they would get the transcript in time. I'll use Highlands as an example. Summer ends 7/28, maybe add a week for final due date, and then transcripts need to be sent. They wouldn't be uploaded in time.

But, even before that happens, you likely wouldn't get an invite to take the Critical Thinking exam on 7/21-7/22 because the other prereqs aren't done. The Critical Thinking exam is the last step for those that are qualified to move forward.

I meant to say Spring I’m sorry ( this because I am taking it at another school and not CTC) but I got the answer. I realize that they only accept people for the program once per yr. Thank you all.
