“After graduating from Bethel College, I was prepared for the NCLEX exam and workforce. Bethel College graduates are more prepared, confident, and knowledgeable. The faculty was accommodating in my transition from an LPN to an RN. I recommend this program to anyone seeking an exceptional education and preparation for their nursing career.”
