I would never in one million years recommend NCCU's ABSN program. It is total and complete chaos. Incredibly disorganized. Students are expected to jump through one hoop after another after another. Just trying to get into the program itself is a nightmare - from not telling the student up front what ALL the requirements are to not telling students until the last possible day if they have been accepted or not. It is required that students take the 4 "nursing bridge courses" before entry to the program (when you make application). All other pre-requisites are fudged somewhat, meaning, that while the list is long of things you should need to have take to be accepted, if you go in and sit down with one of the nursing advisors, they will go through you transcript and tick off things you have taken that could even remotely resemble one of the required courses. Just make sure you have photo copies of EVERYTHING. If they say you've taken course X and it will count for course Y, have it in writing. Overall, NCCU is mostly messy. Expect lots of tears and drama and BS. I know that there isn't a nursing program out there that doesn't have some of that, but this is just too much.
