Cochran School of nursing Fall 2020

[Hendrixchick]

Hello All!

I noticed that there wasn't a thread for this year so I wanted to start one.

I live in near Hartford, CT and I'm 25 and I want to start a career in Nursing.

I have a BA in Psychology with a low undergrad GPA of a 2.51 ?

So I'm taking the longer route to eventually become a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

I do have a high pre-req GPA due to class retakes at several community colleges and I've also completed all of the pre-req requirements too.

Teas score of 76, and experience as Americorps state member at a health education site with 1700 hours.

Im hoping to take the kaplan test soon so any advice would help too! Admissions stated that they would give me a May 19 or 20th test date.

Anyone know when we will hear back from admissions after taking the test?

Also what score is competitive?

[RealNursesCare]

No prob. And yes, let’s keep our hope alive!

Thank you for the update! I can understand the stress of waiting! Hopefully we can some answers before this week ends.

oh thank you for the update I'm missing my HS transcript from them but she had mentioned to me that is OK as long as they have the college ones. I have not been able to have it send due to covid ugh I hope that it doesn't mess up my chances

You should be fine. I had the same issue. She just asked for a copy of my HS diploma.
