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?

[Nursing8K]

Yes, I took my exam. I'm just waiting now =/ Good luck everyone!

Hi,

I’m with you Futurern_1989.
I remember Allie mentioning that the committee is supposed to meet within the first week of June, just wondering when we’ll hear from them.

During the Kaplan walk through I believe Haneen said we should hear from them first/second week of June! The suspense is killing!

[PnayNurse]

Yes it is! I just took the test today and I did well on everything except for writing :(. Fingers crossed for me .

I think a lot of people are getting in especially because of covid. They might be more lenient

So the next two weeks are going to be interesting

[PnayNurse]

Yes, I have faith?

[RealNursesCare]

Good for you Kriz! The writing section tripped me up as well.
Just trusting God for a positive outcome ??

[Amydory1]

Agree!

[YAS95]

I agree too, the writing was dragging, I wish everyone well!

[Amydory1]

I wish everyone luck and hope that we all get in. I’m getting a bit anxious. I hope we all get good news.
