The nursing program at Chattahoochee Technical College has been ranked as Georgia’s top nursing program by RegisteredNursing.org.

The Chattahoochee Tech nursing program achieved the state’s 2024 number one ranking with a top score of 98.22, followed by the University of North Georgia, scoring 96.53, and Kennesaw State University, scoring 96.47. The other top 20 schools ranked by RegisteredNursing.org included Southeastern Technical College, Georgia College, Reinhardt University, and Emory University.

“This top ranking demonstrates our faculty’s hard work and pride in preparing Chattahoochee Tech students to become outstanding nurses,” said Dean of Nursing Claudia Grooms. “Our graduates are passing nursing board exams on the first attempt, and they are highly sought by employers for their professional and practical skillsets.”

A trusted educational resource for over 10 years, RegisteredNursing.org provides prospective nursing students with educational and career information. Data factoring into the 2024 ranking included pass rates for the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). This exam is used by all state boards of nursing across the country to help assess a student’s competency and is required for nursing licensure. In determining Georgia’s top 20 nursing programs, RegisteredNursing.org evaluated over 50 nursing programs across the state.

The Chattahoochee Tech nursing program is a highly competitive and rigorous program involving classroom, laboratory, and clinical activities. Nursing students can complete the college’s associate degree program in four semesters. After the successful completion of the NCLEX-RN exam, program graduates are granted state licensure to practice nursing as an RN.
