I am considering applying to WSSU's accelerated program. How difficult is it to gain admission into the program?

Is an interview required? I received an application packet from the program director, but it does not mention this.

When I considered the program a few years ago, an interview was required and admission was quite competitive because they only accept about 45 people each January.

Babynurse07, I was hoping to PM you(when I sent the friend request), but I guess my membership won't allow private messages. I hope you can read this. I am strongly considering the ABSN program at WSSU, but I am so scared of it being so fast that I can't keep up. Please let me know if there are certain requirements or conditions for success. I have a family to think about and that's what unnerves me. I don't know if I'll be able to juggle the two and do well. Thanks for your time!

I finished the program in Feb 08. Many people including myself had families. It is hectic but definitely doable. Time management is important. You can do it!!!!

I am doing my pre-reqs and will be sending in an application to WSSU ASBN. I see you posted about a year ago. Can you fill me in on your progress? Can you provide any tips for getting accepted into the progran AND getting the contract to work at Baptist. I understand only 30 people get the scholarships and contracts. I really need that.
Thanks!
