Hi , 

I created this thread to share info tips etc for those applying to Cochran school of nursing Spring 2021 . I am currently at BMCC and with a good GPA but didn’t get in last semester to the nursing program so want to explore other options . Will attend the info session Monday if I get a link in time .

I'm evening too. I haven't heard from financial aid office or haven't gotten any information on books or uniforms. I haven't uploaded anything to CastleBranch. I'm still in the process of getting all the documents.

Im day so I’m not sure if it’s the same for evening. I had to do some serious pressure pushing so they’re probably not the biggest fan of me. Maybe send some emails the more ya ask the more they tell. They actually pushed orientation back from the original date so instead of the week or the 11 it’s to the week of the 25 of January. Again not sure if this is for evening also or just day but figured it’s nice to share

No I just received an email after months of waiting on them. I couldn’t take the Kaplan because I sent them my transcript and nobody could find it but nobody reached out to me either. It wasn’t until I started emailing and calling that I got in contact with somebody

Yes !! So many questions. The biggest one is how confusing the online book list is compared to the pdf book list. I’m totally willing to buy books but not ready to drop $200 without being 100% sure which one I need for this semester !

OMG yes!! I'm confused with everything I'm assuming clinical is in person regardless is not 100% clear all this I'm still finishing up my medical errands and now this! ? I have no clue which books we need for the first semester. I wish Financial aid will cover some of this because is tough out here!

last night I opened it and was like oh my I will save this for the morning with a fresh cup of coffee. I know finical aid called me and said shell get to us by this week or next with our award letter, I'm just like wow this is a lot LOL but I'm happy to know that finical aid covers uniforms and stuff. also I love that they made our schedule for the semester my GF was in pace Accelerated BSN this past year and literally they didn't do any of that they had over lapping classes things they didn't need, she read our and was like well they look more organized than our program. but I'm so excited !
