EAST GREENSBORO, N.C. (Oct. 26, 2021) – North Carolina Technical and Agricultural State University has the best nursing school at a public historically Black college or university (HBCU) for 2022, according a report by Top RN to BSN, an online information source for current and prospective nursing students.

North Carolina A&T’s School of Nursing in the John R. and Kathy R. Hairston College of Health and Human Sciences ranks only behind Howard University, a private HBCU, on Top RN to BSN’s Top 15 list.

It offers a BSN program accredited by the Accreditation Commission for Education in Nursing (ACEN). Students can pursue their BSN through three entry options: traditional BSN, accelerated (ABSN) for those who hold a bachelor’s degree and meet all other nursing prerequisites, and registered nurse completion for those who already hold an associate nursing degree.

A&T nursing programs boast a 91% National Council Licensure Examination (NCEX) three-year average pass rate and 100% job placement for graduates.

Amid nursing shortage, UNCG and NC A&T get money to expand their programs

Jessie Pounds


Their three-pronged approach to using the money goes like this:

One: provide tutoring and support to undergraduate students taking chemistry, which is a prerequisite to entering the nursing program.

Two: establish a new mobile clinic, basically a large motor coach with medical equipment, that will allow nursing students the opportunity to get clinical practice hours while traveling around serving the health needs in the area, including communities in Rockingham and Randolph counties.

Three: pay graduate students enrolling in A&T’s new Doctor of Nursing Practice degree to serve as teaching assistants in the mobile clinics.

My mom is an Aggie Nurse and she's still pissed about the lack of a new Noble Hall lol.

But those men and woman have fought hard for that program. And it's a beautiful thing to see the work paying off

wow, our nursing school has come a long way. my ex-wife is an aggie nursing school graduate and the school itself was struggling during the 80's. i'm sure she's extremely happy to hear about this news. she's an rn (registered nurse) but had to work really hard to pass the board, but she did it on her first try...
