Open house set at Rollins School of Nursing April 8

March 29, 2017

Beebe Healthcare's Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing invites those interested in entering the rewarding and challenging field of nursing to attend the semi-annual open house from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, April 8. Alison Watson, MSN, RN, admissions chair, will be conducting information sessions every 30 minutes, with the last session beginning at 11:30.

She will 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 behind Beebe Healthcare's medical center in Lewes.

The school 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 school's new building with 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 and Wilmington University facilitate the students’ opportunity to obtain a bachelor's degree in one additional year with either of those schools.

Prerequisite 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 student to simultaneously earn the diploma in nursing as well as the associate in arts degree and ultimately a baccalaureate degree. Candidates may be eligible for Student Excellence Equals Degree funding in their first year.

For more information and to register for the open house, call 302-645-3251.
