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:

For more information about LPN RIBN, please see the Allied Health/Nursing Admissions webpage at www.forsythtech.edu or contact the nursing department.

Completion of the Forsyth Tech Student Medical Form (includes an eye and dental examination).

Program Information
This program has limited enrollment and has deadline requirements. Students are chosen by a selective admissions process based on grades earned in required related courses (i.e., biology, communications and psychology). The Admissions Office can provide additional information on the selection process. Dental Assisting students are required to maintain a C average in both lecture and laboratory in order to satisfactorily complete any course in the program. Students making a D or F in any course within the program of study will not be allowed to continue in the full-time DAII program.

Accreditation does require a specific number of class, lab and clinical hours for the student to graduate, so there are strict attendance rules. If the student surpasses the allowed number of hours missed, they will be dropped from the program and will have to reapply for the next year. Readmission may be possible but requires reapplying and approval by the college.

Graduates will be eligible to take the DANB to become certified Dental Assistants and will attempt the DANB as a part of program requirements during the final semester in the program.

*Students should select this course if they plan on enrolling in the Dental Hygiene program.

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.

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.
