Beckfield college

Beckfield's RN program is ran by Tim Curliss. He was our educational director for years and excellent. It is an ADN program and we actually have their students on our floor quite often. I work nights so I really don't have too much contact with their students, but from what I've heard from dayshft, their program seems to be organized in the clinical area. They do more than what some of the other students do and take on more responsibility. Good Luck!!

HI there

Just wanted to let you know the pages are set to default show only the last 30 days of posts. If you change that setting at the bottom of the page, you can see older posts, and there yours is .

I'm sorry that I can't help you with your original question.

I just saw your post today. I live in Erlanger (about 5 minutes from Florence). I looked into Beckfield for the RN program but am still undecided as to where to attend. I have spoke with several people who have attended in the past and they have all spoke highly of the program.

I live in Florence and am in my first quarter in the RN program at Beckfield. I also attended the school last year for the Medical office technology program. Personally, I love the school. I went to NKU for 3 years and everybody knows you are only a number there. At Beckfield they truly do care if you succeed. I won't lie the Nursing program is very very demanding. I don't even answer my phone anymore. The only reason I'm on this website is because I'm looking for others opinions on Jean Watson's "Human Caring Theory" We have a group project due. I hope everything goes well with your interview. If you're interviewed by the Director of the Nursing program he'll try to scare you with how really hard the program is and let me tell ya... Every word he say's is true.

Best of Luck!

Hello, I am 35 yrs old and a freshman at Beckfield College...So far, it has been great, very demanding program, but you know what I don't think any other nursing program would be easy. I love it...I transferred from Cincinnati State due to their ever so long "waiting list". the school centers itself around the students and I have never been to a college, where you personally meet the President of the College on a daily basis. Dr. Beck is always walking around, talking to the students and getting their thoughts and ideas...It is a great evironment! Wish you luck

Will you have any credits that transfer in??? That is something to consider when thinking about when you will be going...i had a few transfer in so this first quarter I am going for 3 days A&P I (2days) and Intro to Nursing (1 day). These classes start at 1 and out at 5...now next quarter, we have like 5 blocks to choose from...i don't have to take psych I so I have a choice of going 4 or 3 days...depeding on which block i take...like one block you go from 9a-12p for 3 days and one day 1-4...the other block has like 4 days of 1-4 or 5...so the second quarter you have a little more flexibilty in your schedule...the first quarter, they make your schedule for you. Just be prepared for the first quarter to go 3 days if you don't have to take math or 4 days if you do, from 1-5 in the afternoon. All the classes are M-F no weekend...now i don't know about clinicals...if you have to do any weekends, because i haven't gotten that far yet.

Hope this helps and GOOD LUCK!
