Beebe school of nursing to hold open house Nov. 25
Beebe Healthcare’s Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing invites those interested in entering the rewarding and challenging field of nursing to attend its semiannual open house from 4 to 6 p.m., Monday, Nov. 25.
Alison Watson, EdD, MSN, RN, admissions chair, will conduct information sessions every 30 minutes to discuss educational opportunities at the school of nursing for those interested in the two-year, four-semester curriculum which begins each August. The last session begins at 5:30 p.m. Representatives from the University of Delaware will also be available. The school is located behind the medical center on Beebe’s Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus.
The school’s program is known for offering comprehensive nursing education in basic nursing concepts, advanced technology and critical care nursing. The curriculum provides optimal hands-on clinical experience that is more accessible due to the proximity of the medical center. The new school of nursing 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, Wilmington University and Wesley College facilitate the students’ opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s degree and/or a master’s degree. A BSN can be obtained in as little as one additional year with the University of Delaware.
Prerequisite college courses are required prior to enrollment in the Margaret H. Rollins School of Nursing program. A partnership with the University of Delaware Associate in Arts Program allows qualified students to take their prerequisite courses through that program. Students can simultaneously earn their diploma in nursing and their associate in arts degree, and ultimately their baccalaureate degree. Candidates may be eligible for Student Excellence Equals Degree funding in their first year.
