Hello, does anyone know any good HBCU nursing school that's 2 hours away from Hopewell?
Anything will help honestly, I've searched for some but I'm not sure exactly what I'm supposed to be looking for.

Hi Zae'onna,
To become a registered nurse (RN) in Virginia, you need to earn at least an associates degree (ADN) but better a bachelors degree (BSN) from an accredited nursing school. There are also ADN to BSN programs if you want to do it in steps. You then have to pass the NCLEX-RN exam before you can be licensed.
Regardless of the distance, you probably want to stay in Virginia for your education since in-state tuition is usually much lower than out-of-state tuition.
There are 5 HBCUs in Virginia: Hampton University, Norfolk State University, Virginia State University, Virginia Union University, and Virginia University of Lynchburg. You can check out their programs online.
Hampton University has one of the top nursing programs and is about 1.5 hours drive from Hopewell: https://home.hamptonu.edu/nursing.
Your other option is Norfolk State University which is about the same distance: https://www.nsu.edu/nursing-and-allied-health/b-s-nursing.
You find a map of other nursing programs in the state here: https://www.dhp.virginia.gov/Boards/Nursing/EducationPrograms/CurrentandFutureStudents/#d.en.494268
They also give you the pass rates in the NXLEX examination for all the programs.
I hope this helps! All the best to you!

Hello, Zae'onna !
It is wonderful that you are thinking about a career in Nursing and are now embarking on choosing colleges to apply to ! It's a very exciting time !
To your request, there are no HBCUs near Hopewell, NY or Hopewell Junction, NY, however CUNY Medgar Evers College is considered predominantly Black and it is located in Brooklyn, New York, two hours away from Hopewell Junction. I do not believe that it's close to Hopewell, New York though. Keep in mind that HBCU Early College Prep High School in New York City will be starting soon.
For Hopewell Township in New Jersey and Hopewell, New Jersey, there are no HBCUs in the State of New Jersey.
For Hopewell, Virginia, there are no HBCUs, however there are HBCUs located in Hampton, Norfolk, Petersburg, Richmond, and Lynchburg, Virginia.
HBCUs are mostly located in the Southern States and Howard University is located in Washington, D.C. You would find HBCUs in the states of Georgia, Texas, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee. So it all depends on if Hopewell is your town or a section of a town. You didn't say what state you meant.
What you should be looking for are colleges that offer a Nursing Program. You can also think about relocating to attend an HBCU - one that offers a Nursing Program. Think about if you are set on attending an HBCU as a priority or if you'd consider a predominantly Black college or University that does not have the historical significance that HBCUs have. Also, when you are requesting information and locations are involved, be sure to mention the exact place and what state it is in so you can obtain more accurate information.
There are 43 HBCU colleges that currently offer Nursing Programs. There's Howard University, North Carolina A&T State University, Florida A&M University, Tennessee State University, Prairie View A&M University, Southern University, A&M College, Virginia State University, Delaware State University, Fayetteville State University, and Tuskegee University and more. Moorhouse College is a men's HBCU and doesn't offer a Nursing Program. Another HBCU, Spellman College, partnerships with Emory University's Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing to offer a Nursing Program. Spellman is located in Atlanta, Georgia.
So, with this information, you can consider if you'd relocate to attend an HBCU or if a nearby University may have a strong Nursing Program that you'd like if you do not want to relocate to go to college. A good place to start is always to go to the individual colleges' websites and read what their Nursing Program consists of and learn about their admissions requirements.
I hope that this limited bit of information can help you start exploring and I wish you all the best !
