Beebe nursing school to hold open house Nov. 16
Beebe Healthcare's Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing invites those interested in entering the rewarding and challenging field of nursing to attend the school's semiannual open house from 4 to 6 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 16.
Alison Watson, EdD, MSN, RN, admissions chair, will be conducting information sessions every 30 minutes, with the last session beginning at 5:30, to discuss educational opportunities for those interested in the two-year, four-semester curriculum which begins each August. Representatives from the University of Delaware will also be available. The school is located behind the medical center in downtown Lewes.
The Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing program is known for offering comprehensive nursing education, providing education in basic nursing concepts, advanced technology and critical care nursing. The curriculum provides optimal hands-on clinical experience that is very accessible due to the proximity of the medical center. The new school of nursing building with its state-of-the-art classrooms and simulation labs opened in July 2015.
Upon completion, graduates are well prepared for RN licensure and entry-level nursing practice. Articulation agreements with the University of Delaware, Wilmington University and Wesley College facilitate the students’ opportunities to obtain a bachelor's degree in one additional year.
Some college courses are required prior to enrollment in the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing program. A recent partnership with the University of Delaware Associate in Arts Program will allow qualified students to take their prerequisite courses through the University of Delaware's AAP program. This pathway will enable the students to simultaneously earn their diploma in nursing as well as their associate in arts degree, and ultimately their baccalaureate degree. Candidates may be eligible for Student Excellence Equals Degree funding in their first year.
