“I enjoy Bethel's program and I came to school here because it's a fairly new program with great potential and the school has a lot of character. Some of my friends and family members graduated from here and I wanted to be a part of that history also. I love this nursing program and I believe that it will be the best nursing program in the state of Tennessee very soon because this program visits more than one hospital setting, and that's important for diversity and all around community nursing. The teachers here want the students to learn and to really know what they are doing and that's very important in this profession. Most schools just want their students to pass the class, but you all want us to understand what it means to really call ourselves true Nurses (RN's)!!!”

The reason I chose Bethel College nursing program was the fact they had small classes. There is not 60-70 people in the nursing program. One can learn more with a small class. The instructors have more one on one time with the students if any problems arise. The instructors are excellent. They will go above and beyond to help a student succeed.
