Beebe’s Rollins School of Nursing to host open house March 21

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 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., Saturday, March 21.

Admissions Chair Alison Watson, EdD, MSN, RN, will conduct information sessions starting every 30 minutes until 11:30 a.m. to discuss educational opportunities at the School of Nursing 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 Beebe Healthcare’s Margaret H. Rollins Lewes Campus at 424 Savannah Road.

The school offers a comprehensive nursing education which includes nursing concepts across the lifespan and advanced technologies including high-fidelity simulation. The curriculum provides unsurpassed hands-on clinical experience, which is always accessible within Beebe Healthcare, as well as numerous opportunities throughout Delaware.

Program graduates are well prepared for RN licensure and entry-level nursing practice. The class of 2019 had a 100 percent NCLEX pass rate for first-time test takers, making the nursing program No. 1 in Delaware for licensure success. It was also recently ranked No. 1 in the state by RegisteredNursing.org.

Articulation agreements with the University of Delaware, Wilmington University and Wesley College facilitate students’ opportunities to obtain bachelor’s or master’s degrees. 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. The school’s partnership with the University of Delaware Associate in Arts Program allows qualified students to take their prerequisite courses through the University of Delaware’s AAP program. This pathway will enable the student 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.
