[color=#244061]excellent points raised about any college educating future nurses from johnrebel. thank you nursing advocate for a detailed explanation of how things work and beckfield college's role in nursing education. [color=#244061] [color=#244061]as dean of nursing at beckfield college and a msn, i would like to reply as well. beckfield college is proud of our nursing programs - rn to bsn, rn and lpn. we are accredited (rn, lpn) by the kentucky board of nursing. currently, we only offer our nursing programs at our florence, kentucky campus and can boast an nclex passing rate of 86% on a first take basis for 2009. we are currently working with the ohio board of nursing on accreditation, thus no nursing classes are offered at our tri-county cincinnati campus until that lengthy process is completed. beckfield college has received approval to continue to proceed with the rn and lpn programs accrediting process with the ohio board of nursing. beckfield college is a member of the national league of nursing accreditation commission (nln-ac) and beginning the nearly 5 year process of becoming accredited by them. [color=#244061] [color=#244061]we are proud of our programs and follow both compliance and advertising regulations quite closely. we have been a local non-traditional option for individuals searching for higher education for 25 years and don't believe in getting people in our doors and not successfully helping them begin a new phase of their lives through education. beckfield college has successfully placed 94% of nursing students for the last four graduating classes. [color=#244061] [color=#244061]in the words of one of our recent nursing graduates raving about her new job, she wrote to me, "thank you all so much. i'm grateful for the education i had. i'm driven, but you all encouraged me, taught me and really pulled for me to succeed." i guess we need to add this to our television commercials.
