   bradtmorgan replied to talk2cass's topic in SRNA

   Hey talk to class. I'll be starting up there too in Jan '13 along with two others from the hospital I work at. I'm getting pretty excited about it as the info packets should be here any day now. Shoot me an email anytime if you want to talk more (...

2. Winston-Salem State & NC Baptist Hospital Contract

   bradtmorgan replied to Rev Elvis's topic in North Carolina

   I feel your pain and unfortunately that is an annoying fact of life that will remain, even after acceptance. It's best to be as flexible as possible and grit your teeth and push through. It's true that now the acceptance into WSSU is a separate issu...

3. Anyone a grad from WSSU?

   bradtmorgan replied to ColtsMom's topic in North Carolina

   It's true that now the acceptance into WSSU is a separate issue from being funded by WFUBMC. If you do get funded by the hospital then you will have your tuition, books and a $500/mo. stipend paid to you. If not than you will be expected to pay for...

4. WSSU ABSN Anyone from Winston Salem, NC or familiar with?

   bradtmorgan replied to TJSbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   They did accept 40 which is what we started the program with. One fellow dropped out that first week as he quickly learned his heart wasn't into the program enough to subject himself to the quick pace. We lost the other two due to grades. You must...

5. WSSU ABSN Anyone from Winston Salem, NC or familiar with?

   bradtmorgan replied to TJSbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Alright hopefully I'll hit all the questions. I don't know if anyone in my program received a "C" in one of the required pre-requisites. As far as I know they really focus on the GPA of the REQUIRED CLASSES not your overall GPA. I say this because...

   Best of luck in the upcoming weeks hearing back on your decision letter. We have had some clinicals on satudays, but they are few and far between. During Adult I, a couple of groups had something like Monday and Saturday clinicals during the week. ...

7. WSSU ABSN Anyone from Winston Salem, NC or familiar with?

   bradtmorgan replied to TJSbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey everyone. Just to clear some stuff up (I'm in the current class graduating in Feb '10). Baptist is still funding people in the class but it is true that not everyone is funded. I believe there are about 8 of 37 that aren't funded in the curren...

8. Winston-Salem State & NC Baptist Hospital Contract

   bradtmorgan replied to Rev Elvis's topic in North Carolina

   The deal with the program is that you now interview with WFUBMC (Baptist Hospital) and they then decide whether they will fund you. If so you owe them what works out to be about 2.5 years. You don't have to be funded anymore to enter this program t...

   bradtmorgan replied to ColtsMom's topic in North Carolina

   Alright folks here's an update: So far so good. I'm plugging along with this program flowing from class to class at a very quick pace. Some of my classmates I know are more stressed with how the program is ran than I am, but I believe there is enou...

10. in your opinion is there a shortage in nc?

    bradtmorgan replied to smartnurse1982's topic in North Carolina

    I live in Winston-Salem, NC and am going to graduate next Feb. and already have accepted an offer to work at Baptist Hospital. Both Baptist and Forsyth (the local hospitals) offered either bonuses or scholarships for signing on as well. In Greenvi...

    bradtmorgan replied to ColtsMom's topic in North Carolina

    ColtsMom, The schedule changes depending on how far you're into the program. For instance the first block of classes lasts 10 weeks, which I just finished up. During that time you're enrolled in 3 different classes (Pharmacology, Health Assessment,...

12. Anyone a grad from WSSU?

    bradtmorgan replied to ColtsMom's topic in North Carolina

    From my knowledge they ONLY use your gpa from undergrad in the required prerequisites (anatomy, microbiology, chem, etc). Don't let your gpa keep you from applying b/c I too had about a 2.8 undergrad but had really good prereq grades and had no prob...

    bradtmorgan replied to ColtsMom's topic in North Carolina

    I'm currently attending the Accelerated BSN 13 mo. program at WSSU. I'm only 1 month in but so far here's what I've assessed. The program is very fast paced right from the get go. Unlike some other accelerated BSN programs which kind of make up the...
