Chattahoochee Technical College

Chattahoochee Technical College is a public technical college in Marietta, Georgia, with nursing pathways that include CNA, Practical Nursing (LPN), Associate Degree Nursing (ADN), and an LPN to ADN option. Across these tracks, coursework is organized to build from foundational nursing skills and safety to more complex patient care, with required lab practice and supervised clinical education as students move through the curriculum.

Skills development includes on-campus nursing labs where students practice core procedures and medication administration before clinical rotations. Public information from the college describes simulation-based learning as part of training, but the college does not consistently publish a single, current list of named clinical sites for every cohort. Because clinical placements can change by term and program level, prospective students typically rely on the nursing department’s clinical disclosure during advising and orientation for the most accurate, up-to-date rotation site details.

The Marietta campus setting is suburban and car-commuter oriented. Nursing students commonly travel in from across Cobb County and nearby metro Atlanta communities, with typical routes using I-75 and major surface roads such as Cobb Parkway (US-41) and the South Marietta Parkway (GA-120). Clinical days may require early start times, so commuting time and traffic patterns around peak hours can be a planning factor, especially for students coming from farther parts of the Atlanta metro area.

On licensure outcomes, the school’s published average weighted NCLEX pass rates are 98.6% for RN candidates and 97.6% for PN candidates. For comparison, Georgia’s 2024 averages are 92.1% for RN and 91.5% for PN.
