Bevill State Nursing Program... food for thought

[cpl_dvldog]

This is being posted for anybody that is considering the Bevill State Nursing program. I have heard lots of good things about the program from students that were there in the past. This is being posted as an up to date status on the program. In the past 2 weeks I have talked to two of the people in my class, 5th semester, that are having trouble doing their preceptorship. The first student was assigned to a nurse that has been off work on medical leave for a couple of months. I assumed the school would call the nurse to tell them who to expect as a precepting student this semester, not let the student try to locate the nurse and find out she is not available. The other student found out her precepting nurse had been "double booked". The school had assigned two students to her. The second student may be put in a postion where she will have to do her preceptorship during the summer, and graduate a semester after the rest of her class. Between the Sumiton and Jasper campuses, I am fairly certain these are not the only two with major problems, just all I know of personally.

Nursing school is stressful enough when the staff is doing their jobs. This is rediculous! I am just thankful I am not having problems with my precept.

Thanks cpl_.... I hope I do good! I'm just gonna keep studying! Yes I've heard from a lot of people that the nursing test are extremely difficult but once you grasp it.... it OK... but still hard because of all of the information you have to consume at one time....

I would suggest you apply to several nursing programs. Bevill is not telling their prospective students the State Board of Nursing has them listed as a Deficiant RN Program due to their below average N-CLEX pass rate.
