Not yet! did you?

JourneytoRN91 · Dec 4, 2015

Nope ! Lol I'm trying to scrap everything together. And we have registration on the 15th. Seems like there isn't enough time to do all that is required

I was accepted to this school for spring 2016 but for the evening. Being a LPN I had the option to challenge the first semester, which i did and passed. So I start 2nd semester Med Surge this January. Cant wait. Very excited!! Good luck to us all!!!!

JourneytoRN91 · Dec 10, 2015

Yes ! Good luck to all of us. Maybe you can give some pointers on Med surg once you get started !

First let me wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
I was accepted into the Cochran School of Nursing for Jan 2016 (day program). I just wanted to know if there was anyone else out there who will also be starting this spring. I haven't seen any threads regarding this. I am very excited to start but also nervous. I have to do so much running around in such a small amount of time to get all my paperwork finished.

Congrats!! What were your stats like Gpa and Kaplan score? I'm looking into Cochran and Montefiore for fall 2016.

Thank you ! And for Cochran the gpa needed I think is 3.0.. Mine was about 3.3 and my Kaplan score was 77. I think once you get above 70 you should be ok. I also got accepted to Monte and my Kaplan score for them was a 75 and if I'm not mistaken the gpa requirement is 2.7 but the test outweighs the gpa (you can have a 4.0 gpa and get a low score on the exam and you won't be considered)

Thank you so much! there is not a lot of threads about Cochran on here so I really appreciate this. Did you receive a scholarship for your great gpa? I'm going to aim for a 3.4 gpa.
