03/09/09
Beebe School of Nursing invites the public to its annual Spring Open House to provide information about their Registered Nurse programs. The event will take place at the School of Nursing on Thursday, March 26, 2009, from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Visitors will get a chance to talk to faculty members and students, tour the facility and learn about the educational opportunities the school has to offer. Refreshments will be provided.
Ginny Rickards, MEd, R.N., Director of Admissions, will conduct information sessions each half hour to discuss educational opportunities. Beebe's nursing education program is known for offering comprehensive nursing education, providing classes in basic nursing concepts, advanced technology, and critical care nursing. The program also provides for optimal, hands-on clinical experience primarily at Beebe Medical Center.
Graduates are well prepared for licensure and entry-level nursing practice once they have completed the program. Students also can earn a bachelor's degree in one additional year through an articulation agreement with Wilmington University.
The Beebe School of Nursing, based at Beebe Medical Center, is the only hospital-based nursing program in Delaware, and is accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission (NLNAC). The diploma in Nursing is awarded at the completion of the curriculum, qualifying Beebe graduates to be eligible for National Council of State Boards of Nursing NCLEX examination, leading to licensure. Beebe graduates have one of the highest NCLEX pass rates in the state.
Pre-requisite college courses and a certified Nursing Assistant Course are required prior to starting the Beebe School of Nursing program. The School is located in Lewes adjacent to the hospital. Call the school at (302) 645-3251 for more information.
We are very proud of our program, said Connie Bushey, R.N., BSN, MEd., Director of the School of Nursing. Our graduates have a tremendous success rate both on the national licensure exam (NCLEX) and in the clinical environment, reflecting our commitment to maintaining a high quality education in the classroom and clinical settings.
