Chattahoochee Technical College ASN Fall 2017

Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hello Everyone! I've found it super helpful and encouraging reading previous threads from Chattahoochee Tech's ASN hopefuls in the past. I was really hoping to start a thread for anyone who is planning on applying for Chattahoochee Tech's ASN program this Fall of 2017 - this way, we can share helpful information with each other and provide words of encouragement for one another. Anyone who wants to comment or ask any questions is more than welcome to! I hope that we all get in!!!!

Do you know what the lowest score was that was accepted last year?

The clinical hours vary each semester and sometimes by location. The first semester, most of us did 6 hour clinicals twice a week over 5 weeks. But some did five 12 hour clinical days. They didn't start until like 10 weeks in which was nice because most of the tests, skills labs, and projects were done by then. And then clinicals were done before finals which freed up 2 days for studying.

This last semester we all did twelve 8 hour clinicals once a week, and then additional 6 hour clinicals for mental health observation spread out all over the semester.

Im not sure what the lowest straight acceptance points were, I just know about the person with 241 getting rejected and then accepted.

I have 266 points so this makes me feel a little better. I've read other forums and I'm feeling really excited. I wish they would send an email stating they have our application and we will be hearing from them shortly. During the application session she scared everyone by saying if you didn't sign both sheets they would throw your application out lolll. I signed them both but I guess it's the anxiety getting the best of me.

I thought the same thing too the whole time I was waiting for my letter lol. I kept thinking maybe I messed up my 900 number and they cant find me in the system, did I spell my name right, etc etc lol. They have A LOT going on right now though so I don't think they could handle a few hundred emails. Summer semester for us started last week, they have been hiring new employees, orienting and training them, making our finals and tests, and remaking the summer semester and setting up our simulations on top of weeding through 350 applications! But I hear the 2 new fundamentals teachers are really great! I have only met one of them and she was really sweet so I think you guys will really like her!

Are y'all happy you choose this program instead of a BSN program? What's your favorite part about the program? Do you have any clinicals at Floyd Medical Center or Redmond? Thanks again! I'm just deciding on whether applying to a ASN program next fall or waiting the next year for a BSN program.

I am very happy I chose the program. We seem to be getting more hands-on experience before graduation than a lot of BSN graduates because they teach you a lot of skills early, we have a 100% NCLEX pass rate, and it is so much cheaper than other programs. We were just notified recently that we are the number 5 nursing program in the state as well!

Many schools come to talk to us about RN to BSN programs, some not even requiring chem and statistics for us so once you graduate the program you can have your BSN in 12 months. Which is actually about the same amount of time as just going through a straight BSN program, but without loans!

There were no problems finding a job for the last graduates, and many of them even were offered jobs before graduation.

At this time, we do not have clinical at Floyd or Redmond.

Looks like this may be the way I go! Thanks again! I'm currently a student at GHC and I like that your program doesn't require a CNA. What was your grades in A&P? Thanks again!

It cannot be that late. Orientation is the 25th of July.

That's what I was thinking. So I contacted my health science advisor through email. I think the person that told me was just someone answering the phone.

Yeah! I am thinking they will go out this week or next week from the posts from last year. :)
