Bethel Nurs­ing Pro­gram Ranks No.9 in the State

MISHAWAKA—Bethel's Nurs­ing Pro­gram re­cently been ranked num­ber nine out of 48 in the state, along with the ti­tle of be­ing the top nurs­ing pro­gram in the area. The vig­or­ous and ex­haust­ing train­ing that nurs­ing stu­dents have to go through does pay off, as they have a high rate of se­cur­ing a job and have a wide va­ri­ety of op­por­tu­ni­ties in the med­ical field.

Deb­o­rah Gillum, Ph.D., Dean of Nurs­ing, said, “We are hon­ored to be rec­og­nized once again for the out­stand­ing ed­u­ca­tion that we pro­vide to our stu­dents. Our grad­u­ates are be­com­ing the next gen­er­a­tion of nurse lead­ers, pro­vid­ing ex­cel­lent care and lead­er­ship in an ever-chang­ing and chal­leng­ing health care field,” ac­cord­ing to a press re­lease on the Bethel Col­lege web­site.

The way a nurs­ing pro­gram is ranked is by “pass rates” or per­cent­age of grad­u­ates who are able to pass the exam. Bethel’s pass rates con­tinue to im­prove every year and that is a sure sign of the de­vel­op­ment of Bethel’s nurs­ing pro­gram and how it is grow­ing and im­prov­ing. The web­site that con­ducts the rank­ing is Reg­is­tered­Nurs­ing.org. 

Bethel’s nurs­ing pro­gram of­fers nurs­ing stu­dents op­por­tu­ni­ties for their fu­tures, and the pro­gram it­self seems to con­tinue to im­prove to bet­ter train stu­dents and chal­lenge their abil­i­ties in the med­ical field
