What you'll need

  • Transcripts

The only BSN listed is a post-licensure RN-BSN (no pre-licensure BSN; the pre-licensure program is the ADN, which is the only track requiring TEAS). RN-BSN requires a 2.25 cumulative college GPA, college transcripts, proof of an unencumbered RN license, and a $30 nonrefundable fee; completes in 12 to 18 months. Priority deadlines: March 1 for fall (August start), July 1 for spring (January), November 1 for summer (May). Site is hosted on atriumhealth.org; carolinascollege.edu has a certificate mismatch. Landing page cites 94% first-attempt licensing pass rate without a year.
