   It is definitely possible! Classes were normally Tuesday-Friday 8am-5pm ish in beginning, then just Tu/Wed further on when you start doing clinicals. Clinicals could be any day of the week at any time. There were some that were Thur/Fri 6am-6pm an...

   We only had 1 class day with inclement weather and we were the only ones on campus so the university did not "officially close" so we had to come. Basically, the university has to close. There was one Sunday where I know they delayed clinicals due ...

   Can any of the new class let us know when your orientation is? The last class came and visited us at our orientation last January and answered questions and our class is dying to do the same for you all!

   Not sure, ATR... this thread is about the Accelerated program at WSSU which is a 13 month program that requires a previous bachelor's. You should be fine getting into the traditional program, in my opinion, but I would try looking for a different th...

   I actually live in Mocksville so I got a scholarship from Iredell Memorial. It was $1300/semester and I have to work for them for 1 year to pay it back. I prefer parking at Forsyth but Baptist has a better system because it's computerized! Forsyth...

   Definitely buy the previous edition! It has not hurt me at all! And use your ATI books to study too (once you get them), I wish I had learned this earlier on. I'm a bargain hunter so I borrowed books from an N11 and bought her uniform for $50. An...

   If y'all don't get funding from Baptist, definitely apply for Robert Wood Johnson scholarship! You get a mentor to help you through the program from the previous class. My mentor has been wonderful and can't wait to be a mentor to 1 or 2 of y'all!

   Sorry to hear that But yeah, if you don't have everything done, they don't let you in because they have 200-300 applicants and only around 60 get accepted. Congratulations to those who did! We will see you in January!

    Yes, there were only a few who did not take financial aid. Either their parents supported them or they have spouses with good jobs. We are so ready to be done! Your class has tough shoes to fill! The other cohorts had people fail out here and the...

    Definitely fill out your FAFSA for this year if you want financial aid and you will need it! Baptist only funded 16 of our 43 students and we didn't find out funding until December 13th with Robert W. Johnson paperwork due on the 14th. I received R...

    Hali- If you haven't heard anything, email or call -------- We had one classmate who received a rejection letter when she was actually accepted because they messed up her name. Good luck to you all! If it's like last year, the previous group came t...

    ddwillard replied to nathanielbguy's topic in North Carolina

    I'm currently in the program, set to finish up in February and thought I would give you some advice! We had around 300 applicants, they accepted 60, and only 45 showed up to orientation. Only 16 of us were able to receive funding from Baptist and 1...
