LPN 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 course of study. Forsyth Tech has partnered with Winston-Salem State University to offer a similar three-year pathway to LPNs desiring to earn an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) from Forsyth Tech and a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing (BSN) from WSSU.

The LPN RIBN curriculum includes all coursework included in the LPN to ADN Transition program at Forsyth Tech, as well as all general education and baccalaureate nursing classes required to complete a BSN degree. Upon completion of NUR 214 with a grade of “B” or higher, students are awarded credit for the following ADN courses: NUR 111, NUR 112, NUR 113, NUR 212. 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.

LPN 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 two years of study. After passing the NCLEX-RN, RIBN students may work part-time as an RN while completing third-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.

LPN RIBN Minimum Admissions Requirements:

Successful completion of an accredited (or state approved) practical nursing program.
Current unencumbered license to practice as an LPN in the state of North Carolina.
A minimum of six months of full-time employment as an LPN.
A GPA of 2.6 or higher in practical nursing courses.
Successful completion of ENG 111 and PSY 150 with a grade of “C” or higher.
Applicants must demonstrate competency in Math, Reading, and English.
Applicants must be accepted at WSSU for fall semester of the first year of RIBN.
Applicants must have an adjusted individual score that is equal to or greater than 60% on the Test of Essential Academic Skills.

Meeting minimum eligibility requirements does not guarantee admission to LPN RIBN as enrollment is limited. Applicants are ranked and selected based on their GPA in practical nursing coursework and TEAS scores.

Additional Requirements:

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.

This certificate does not offer a clinical component. If accepted, the student is responsible for his or her own clinical experience as well as the clinical competency documentation required by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists to establish eligibility for Post- Primary Certification in CT. The program does not assist the student with clinical placement, clinical experience, or clinical instruction. All potential/accepted Distance Learning Non-Clinical students are required to participate in a distance learning screening process and/ or computer skills workshop.

Additional Information

This is the first certificate of a two certificate plan.

This certificate is an entry level approach to CT and is intended for the seasoned technologist or new graduate. The Expanded Certificate is 32 credit hours divided into semester-specific sub certificates: Traditional Clinical I (C45200TA) offered in fall and Traditional Clinical II (C45200TB) offered in spring. Upon successful completion of all Expanded Certificate requirements, the student earns Traditional Clinical certificates I and II and documented verification of clinical experience, which satisfies the Clinical Experience Requirements of the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists application eligibility for the Post Primary Certification Examination in CT.

Criminal Background Checks/Drug Screening
Clinical agencies require criminal background checks and/ or drug screening for students assigned to their facility for clinical education. In addition, national and/or state registry and/ or licensure boards may prohibit eligibility for registry or licensure based on criminal background records. Please refer to the Health Technologies section on www.forsythtech.edu.
