2017 Fall Chattahoochee Tech Nursing Program

Published

Hello! I am a 2017 fall nursing program hopeful. I did not see a forum started or this semester and was hoping to start one . Here we can ask each other questions and encourage one another along the way.

Hi I'm applying to Chat Tech for Fall 2017. I am confused about the point accumulation system. Is there someone who might be able to help me? I'm interested to learn scores of other applicants as well. Thanks!

Are straight A's required to get admitted to Chat Tech's nursing program?

No, but the higher the better! Also the TEAS(up to 100 points) test plays a factor. It's only 310 points available with 50 to each A in A&P & micro , 25 for B, 13 for C... look on Chattahoochee Tech's website. I've applied, just waiting now

I'm planning to apply if I do well on the Teas. It's a little late on deciding to attend. I will update later on stats once I take my test.

I wish I was dismissed 12 years ago. I would have picked a better career. Sometimes an event like this is a gift.

I have been waiting for the right time to return to nursing school and missed the opportunity last year to make the application session. I made it in time this year and took the new ATI teas just in time. Well, I studied only a few hours before the teas. I know I could have done better with more time to study, but I passed. My total score now is 224 out of the max of 310. I'm not sure if that will get me in....time will tell. I have completed all of my courses for entry into the program.

I was very surprised by the national averages being so low on the teas?!! Where is everyone else on the total score for CTC RN program? What scores on the teas have you heard about for applicants to this program? Has anyone else heard of a total score average or need for the fall 2017?

At the application session I gathered this info if anyone is wondering:

They hope to admit 40-50 students. I think they said about 300 students attended the sessions in all. I attended the last one. Everyone who made the list will get a call and an CTC email about mid June.

Personally, I'm only at 240! Just retook the TEAS and got a 94.7 which helped to boost my score. There aren't too many threads going as in the past few years where people are really conversing and encouraging. So, just from the threads from last year I've seen, the numbers ranged from 298-260, but not everyone was comfortable with posting their numbers up either. If 300 attended you have to factor in how many were just feeling it out, applying just to see what happens, may not have appropriate classes, may have tried to get everything in and couldn't, didn't get a 70% on TEAS, or are going to give up their seat for whatever reason! In any event, there's a chance for people who applied with C's & B's because there are so many variables. I really just don't want to repeat any classes. Shhhhesh������

I appreciate the share. I'm not proud of my 72 on the teas. I scored the highest on math, but I took it just in time before the 12th and didn't study. I'm an A student though and made straight A's in a BSN program that I was in and only had 2 semesters left! I moved out of state for my spouse and changed careers to continue teaching and finished a Masters in Education. Im kicking myself now because this state is all out nepotism and it's impossible to get a full time in my specialty area of teaching. Which brings me to returning to finish this nursing where I know there will be a demand! If I don't get in here I'm moving back to continue at the university I was at. I left on good terms... it will just be a hardship on my family... the sacrifice will be worth it. I do wished that I had planned ahead to study and at least have an opportunity to take again I'm certain I would at least make a high 80...

That stinks that nobody is seeking out forums or sharing. I think it's encouraging and helps pass the time as we anticipate an answer. The scores are what they are. It sounds like you have a great chance. What courses are you worried about transferring? If you look on banner (if you have not already) it will show what transferred in.

Yeah, I realize there are a lot of factors and I'm counting on hoping even to make the last of the cut. Well let's keep the forum going maybe it will grow.

I'm actually a student there so what's there pretty much is what it is. I have a C in A&P 1 7 years ago when I first started school, it was sooooo hard back then :) But, if you need any help [email protected] is my email I can help you out on your TEAS. I'm also on Wyzant tutoring site. I also applied to West GA Tech, that thread is almost dead too. But, I think I have a better chance over there because it's 60% TEAS and 40% grades.

I know the struggle oh too well, I'm a LPN who is parttime with a WHOLE family and crazy bills. I know I have to get into a program this year because we are struggling. Atlanta is a very expensive city to live in and be comfortable. They make it so hard to get into these programs!!
