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?

Hello everyone!

I too am waiting to hear back from someone to hopefully schedule an exam date. I spoke with someone 2 weeks ago and she had asked me to give her a call back after I submitted my transcripts, but have not been able to get in touch with her.

I'm getting super nervous as some of you have already taken the test/schedule a test date.

Is there someone I should specifically speak to?

Thank you and I hope we all get in!

I’ve been using quizlet and a book I purchased off of Amazon called ATI TEAS secrets. They have good videos online that help you with each subject. Someone told me the TEAS book is better than Kaplan. Good luck!
