RIBN: Associate in Applied Science (Forsyth Tech)
Bachelor of Science in Nursing (WSSU)
Regionally Increasing Baccalaureate Nurses (RIBN) is a statewide initiative coordinated by the Foundation for Nursing Excellence that partners community colleges with universities in North Carolina. These partnerships allow students to earn both an associate and baccalaureate degree in nursing over a four-year period. Forsyth Tech has partnered with Winston-Salem State University to offer this opportunity to students desiring to earn an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) from Forsyth Tech and a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing (BSN) from WSSU.
The RIBN curriculum includes all coursework included in the Associate Degree Nursing program at Forsyth Tech, as well as all general education and baccalaureate nursing courses required to complete a BSN degree. This course work includes and builds upon the domains of healthcare, nursing practice, and the holistic individual. Content emphasizes the nurse as a member of the interdisciplinary team providing safe, individualized care while employing evidence-based practice, quality improvement, and informatics. RIBN provides students with the knowledge, skills, and strategies to integrate safety and quality into nursing care, to practice in a dynamic environment, and to meet individual needs which impact health, quality of life, and achievement of potential.
RIBN students are eligible to take the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN) exam to become licensed as a registered nurse (RN) in North Carolina following successful completion of the first three years of study. After passing the NCLEX-RN, RIBN students may work part-time as an RN while completing fourth-year coursework at WSSU to complete their BSN. The BSN degree provides expanded employment and advancement opportunities for RNs and positions them to continue their education at the graduate level.
RIBN Minimum Admissions Requirements:
- Applicants must be accepted at WSSU.
- Applicants must have an SAT or ACT equivalence score of 500 or higher in Critical Reading or Writing and 500 or higher in Math. Minimum placement testing scores will be accepted in lieu of SAT or ACT scores.
- Applicants must have a GPA of 2.6 or higher for high school or any completed college course work.
- Applicants must have an adjusted individual score that is equal to or greater than 60% on the Test of Essential Academic Skills (TEAS V).
Meeting minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission to RIBN as enrollment is limited. Applicants are ranked and selected based on GPA and TEAS scores.
Additional Requirements:
Once admitted to RIBN, students must meet the following additional requirements:
- Achieve a grade of “C” or better in all required courses
- Maintain dual enrollment at Forsyth Tech and WSSU by completing at least one WSSU course during two semesters (Fall, Spring, or Summer) of each year for the first three years of study
- Pass the NCLEX-RN between the third and fourth years of study
- Before the fall semester of the second year:
- Complete a NC approved Certified Nurse Aide 1 Program that includes theory, lab, and clinical components
- Provide documentation that they are currently credentialed as a Nurse Aide 1 (NA1) with the NC DHSR Nurse Aide Registry
- Provide documentation that they have completed an American Heart Association Health Care Provider class and are currently certified in CPR
- Pass a criminal background check/drug screen (as required by clinical facilities) and other health-related requirements of the Associate in Applied Science in Nursing program at Forsyth Tech

Associate in Engineering
Curriculum Description
The Associate in Engineering (AE) degree shall be granted for a planned program of study consisting of a minimum of 60 semester hours of credit (SHC) of courses. Within the degree program, the institution shall include opportunities for the achievement of competence in reading, writing, oral communication, fundamental mathematical skills, and basic computer use.
The degree plan includes required general education and prerequisite courses that are acceptable to all state funded Bachelor of Engineering programs. Students who follow the degree progression plan will meet the entrance requirements at all of the North Carolina public Bachelor of Science Engineering programs. Associate in Engineering graduates may then apply to any of these programs without taking additional and sometimes duplicative courses. Admission to Engineering programs is highly competitive and admission is not guaranteed.
To be eligible for the transfer of credits under the AE to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering Articulation Agreement, community college graduates must obtain a grade of “C” or better in each course and an overall GPA of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

Cardiovascular Sonography
Curriculum Description
The Cardiovascular Sonography curriculum provides the individual with the knowledge and skills necessary to acquire, process, and evaluate the human heart and vascular structures. A cardiovascular sonographer uses high frequency sound waves to produce images of the heart and vascular structures.
Course work includes effective communication and patient care skills combined with a knowledge of physics, human anatomy, physiology, and pathology, all of which are essential to obtaining high quality sonographic images.
Graduates may be eligible to apply to the American Registry of Diagnostic Medical Sonographers for examinations in physics, cardiovascular physics, vascular physics, and adult echocardiography. Graduates may find employment in hospitals, physicians’ offices, mobile services, and educational institutions.

Developmental Education
Curriculum Description
Developmental Education provides students with an opportunity to build academic skills and acquire the background which should facilitate success in their desired program of study.
For applicants to a program of study who, on the basis of test results and past performance, do not qualify for immediate admission to their chosen program of study, noncredit developmental course work is available and may be required as a prerequisite for registration in specific credit courses. Students taking the required development work may also take specified courses within their desired program of study.
Students may transfer all applicable credit courses into their program of study when the criteria has been met and developmental and selected program courses have been completed. All credit courses within the student’s chosen program of study will then be applied toward graduation.
Some developmental courses are also open to students who wish to take them for personal benefit.
This program offers a series of courses for preparation, remediation and guidance for students who, for a variety of reasons, do not meet the specific entrance requirements for the program of their choice. Students who do meet the minimum entrance requirements but whose previous academic records indicate that they may have difficulty in successfully completing their programs are also advised to complete the necessary course work in the Developmental Education program.
The student’s academic program will be individually designed to meet their specific preparatory and remedial needs. The courses will be selected from the developmental offerings and from technical and/or vocational credit courses. Developmental education courses do not earn credit towards graduation from degree, diploma and certificate programs.
