Beckfield Celebrates National Nursing Week with Student Run Blood Drive
Kentucky Enquirer Visits Beckfield's Blood Drive
Beckfield College nursing student Jim Lynch coordinated blood drive during National Nursing Week 2011 for his Leadership Project, a part of the nursing curriculum to broaden each student’s awareness of the impact of healthcare outside of the clinical setting.
Every nursing student at Beckfield College is required to participate in a project, whether it’s helping an organization out in the field or going an extra step with a Leadership Project which requires students to research, plan, and execute a community-based project during the 7th term of the nursing program.
This blood drive is one of many projects which have come out of this curriculum element at the College. Students have put on fundraisers for the Beckfield College Association of Nursing (BCAN, a local chapter of the National Student Nurse Association/NSNA) which generates funds for people in need during the holidays, the Ronald McDonald House, Redwood, and the Woman’s Crisis Center to name a few.
Beckfield College offers a variety of nursing programs including Practical Nursing (LPN upon licensure), Nursing (RN upon licensure) and a Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing (RN to BSN).
