Beckfield college

Glad that helped...good luck, and I just might see you in October

So, have you heard anything yet about interviewing? I know it is starting now for October class

My husband was just offered a job in Cincinnati and we might be moving but, we would be living in Florence Ky.. Anyways, I was wondering if you could tell me what colleges are in that area.. I am looking to go back to school either for my Lpn or Rn.. Any advice that you can give me would be greatly appreciated..

Beckfield College of Nursing in Florence Kentucky is absolutely ridiculous! Just because you sign your schedule does not mean that is the schedule you will get. I had an AM clinical and they changed it to an evening clinical several times throughout my academic year and tried to make it look like it was our fault. AND forget about knowing what clinical site you are going to because even if they know they wont tell you. One of the teachers reads verbatim off of the powerpoint and the other reads straight out of the book--EVERYDAY-- and has no general knowledge of what is being taught. I studied everyday for a class and had a 68 average on all my test, it was horrible. I left Cincinnati State with a 4.0 people! They will try to convince you to retake classes that you have already had at a previous college when you do not need to!! I would recommend any other college than this one. I have several peers having issues the same as mine. The assistant to the director of nursing is less than pleasant to say the least. She and the clinical coordinator will disturb your class to announce to the people who do not have their immunizations etc. up to date and talk to you like you are 3 years old even if the issue has no relation to you. I know of male students getting exceptions from instructors (ex. he did not pass and the instructor let him redo a 100% assignment) and not given to the female population on SEVERAL occasions. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT tell any of the faculty members of any personal circumstances. They will use them against you and judge you for it. I had the Director of Nursing trying to TELL me what to do with my realtionship and judging my morals, which I see unprofessional and borderline illegal to push on a student. When they said they give their students personal attention I did not see this as qualifying. Clinical instructors except 1 or 2 are hideously unprofessional. If you decide to go here I wish you the best.

Wow, I really hate to hear that....I'm starting Beckfield (florence) on 4/6/09 for the RN Program. I was really hoping that Beckfield would turn out to be a good college. I'm graduating this month from Southwestern College from the Medical Administrative Assistant Program, and I am soooo glad to be done with it. That school is a JOKE! And hearing your opinion of Beckfield has be worried, because it sounds a bit like SWC. Don't get me wrong, I want to know real opinions---especially from students with first hand experience.

I'm sorry, just being honest. Paying $298.00 per credit hour plus fees and books for Beckfield..it makes me upset that their teaching skills are verbatim of books and the instructors are like dead fish teaching ...sorry it stinks! Cincinnati State is only $80.60 per credit hour and that is with reciprocity for certain counties in the Northern Kentucky Area. Granted they have a wait list but I'd rather wait a long time than pay for an education that I'm not receiving and have to start all over again.
