STUDENT & GRADUATE REVIEWS

Jane Doe

• Reviewed: 1/5/2009

“My advice is not to attend this school. They force you to take transcription and billing & coding when your degree is in Ultrasound. They force you to take classes for RMA when your degree is in Ultrasound. These are useless classes for a person that has no intention of working in RMA, transcription, or billing & coding. They just want more money from the students. Half of the ultrasound machines don’t work properly. They shove 40+ people into a classroom. They don’t cap the number of students entering, so when it comes time for graduation you have a 100 students needing externships (which you have to pay 5K for and wait 3-4 months for as well)and trying to find jobs all at the same time. Which there are not many jobs available for an echo tech. The jobs that are available will not hire new graduates. We were lied to at the beginning of the course. We were supposed to be able to choose vascular or echo. This is not the case. We are forced to do only echo. If we want vascular we have to enroll in the Nutly school after we graduate. More money. This school is all about how much money they can pick your pocket for. For your own sake, check out other schools.”

Online is truly hard for me. I did find some professors did their best to make it work and keep the student’s interests. I can not wait to be able to do campus studies again!

ReportRating 5 out of 5 Good evening. I just wanted to take the time to inform you that professor Tammy Ryan is such a valuable asset to this University. I understand fully that the staff and ourselves are trying to adjust as much as we can and everyone’s working the best we can. I much appreciated Prof Tammy taking her time to show us how to acquire images in M-mode during lab tonight. That 30 minute was such a relief, I felt like I learned so much within that 30 minutes. It is hard enough learning through zoom as it is a struggle enough for me to maintain that attention span being in the comfort of home. It’s a challenge to be as stimulated. Professor Tammy did such a great job, such a relief, a hard grader, but otherwise really happy to be learning from her. I just wanted to take the time to inform you. Thank you and have a good night.

The Benefits of Becoming a Bilingual Licensed Practical Nurse (BLPN)

The road to becoming a Bilingual Licensed Practical Nurse (BLPN) might be challenging but knowing that there are plenty of benefits to the job can make the journey a little more worth it. Keep reading to learn more about some of the biggest pros that come with becoming a BLPN. 

Job Security 

The healthcare industry is always in need of more nurses, and the demand has only risen in recent months due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Bilingual nurses are increasingly valuable to hospitals and doctor’s offices because their proficiency in another language allows them to adequately communicate with and treat non-English speaking patients, who make up a significant number of patients, especially in cities and urban areas. Because bilingual nurses are able to effectively treat a larger and more diverse group of patients, employers are actively seeking them out, which can translate to job security and potential promotion opportunities in the future. 

Travel Opportunities

Another great benefit of becoming a BLPN is that your specialized and highly valued skills could potentially lead to employment abroad. Whether an employer wants to transfer you to an international location or you’re interested in volunteering with a nonprofit organization, your bilingual or multilingual skills will make the transition easier and serve as a major asset to the company. Plus, you can use your days off to do some sight-seeing and exploring! 

Satisfaction

All nurses exist to serve, comfort and care for their patients, but, again, bilingual nurses are unique in that they can ensure that everyone is getting the treatment and attention they need. By speaking with patients in their native language (a comfort in itself), BLPNs can connect with patients who may be difficult to understand by English-speaking nurses, which can result in better health outcomes when attempting to better understand symptoms and technicalities surrounding a diagnosis. As a result, these patients are more likely to communicate openly with their nursing staff, which allows the doctors to choose a more accurate or effective treatment plan that doesn’t conflict with the patient’s religious or cultural beliefs. Knowing you played a major part in fixing an isolated or struggling patient’s treatment plan and potentially saving their life is sure to result in long-term job satisfaction and overall fulfillment.

Jumpstart Your Career

Now that you know all the great advantages that come with being a Bilingual Licensed Practical Nurse, it’s time to get started with your new career. At Eastwick College, you can earn an Associates Degree in Bilingual Licensed Practical Nurse in as little as 18 months. Our BLPN students not only finish our program with the professional basic patient care and critical thinking skills needed to assist people in need, but a newfound desire to help change the world.
