Im studying very hada nad have a grasp of most of the material but have yet to take a test so im still very nervous and knowing how to study is better than just studying.

Dora if you are reading this post, the same applies for you. I am currently in my first semester and there is a lot of studying. The bright side is there is only two hard semesters and those are the first 2. once you have passed them everything is down hill from there. good luck ad wish me luck. thank you and sorry for not being on time with my post, i am very busy now that im in the program.

First WSmith, I apologize for not replying to u last year. But I have the day schedule. I Begin this coming fall semester and i am quite nervous. I already have the ISBN#s for the book i need in hopes of buying the books this summer and getting a head start on the classes. I'll appreciate anymore advice i can get coming from u being a male nurse and havin already completed the COChran curriculum. I have completed all mu co-req except for developmental psych which i am taking a either hunter or bmcc this summer. I wish to apply 4 the fast track program because my girlfriend is expecting and i dont want her to wait 2 long b4 i complete my degree. what did u fond the most difficult during your first and second semester, what do u recommend i do for classes and clinical, and what are easy to commit but dire mustake i should avoid.

pardon me , my name is Keith and i have recently been accepted to cochran school and i am looking for advice on my first semester for nursing basics and math dosage classes. I would like to know what is the key to graduating from this institution and passing the nclex exam. any advice will be greatly appreciated. and last year i spoke to Wsmith but i was to busy to reply back to him but i would love to speak to him right now to get any recommendations. thank ytou and have a great evening

well i took the teas test for Cochran nursing school 12/12/2008 and Im still waiting to know if i have been accepted. I had 2 wait until 1/9/09 to speak to a representative and i then spoke to Ms. Vitola on the 12 yet i did not get a definite answer. I was told that I'll receive another call in two weeks to arrange an interview with their committee. This have left me a nervous wreck. The holidays were hard to enjoy because i did not know if i am accepted or not. Does anyone who have been accepted by this school have any advice to calm my nerves until i receive my results? Your word of advice will by well appreciated.

thank you very much Indymom4. Im going to use my lil bros math book now. lol. I should have thought of that. The first time i took the test i spent to much time on math questions and literally didnt get to half the math test. This time around its going to b different. I have been studying a lot of a&p and im going to continue doin so cuz like u said, not two test are alike. Thank you so much for your valuable support. You might not know it but your words went a long way:yeah::bowingpur

hello everyone my name is Keith an im applying to Cochran for the second time and i wanted to know the best and most effective way to study for the science section of the test. I would also like to know what this section consist of because I wasn't given that section to take my first time around. My bad time management in these easy math questions cost me my first admission. I have the fortified my math skills and Im more than ready this time around but i have no idea of what to study for in the science part of the test. Does it consist of A&P 1 and 2 or chem or physics or both. Please this is very important that i pass this test. I have a child on the way and hes going to get everything his dad didn't. Than k you for your help

i am a student at Lehman college applying for Cochran schools Jan 09 semester and i wanted to know the best way to prep for the science section. PLease this is extremely important.

Just one more question i was researching the school a bit and it seems kind of competitive to get in. On one site it said that the entrance level was moderate, being that only 13% of applicants were accepted. With that being said, do you think that i still have a chance?

Thanks alot for the information, you just don't understandhow much i appreciate it...I just looked the school up and wanted to make sure that you are talking about the cochran school of nursing in Yonkers right?

I recently transfered to Lehman College from Bronx Community College in hopes of becoming a RN and have completed all of my core prerequisites, however I could not seem to get into either nursing programs due to a long waiting list and a 2.4 GPA. What would be my best course of action to attain my goal of becoming an RN. Is it possible that i can be accepted by an entry level college (in the state of New York) that gives a BSN in nursing with my current GPA? or should I pursue becoming a LPN and make the transition from that point on?, would that decision be easier? and if i was to take the route of becoming an LPN, are there any suggestions on how I would start this process?

Thanks for the reply, but that school is out of my price range and too far. I heard that BOCES may be a good option. Do you know anything about that school, or any other lpn schools that are in the bronx, manhattan, or westchester areas?

Thank you for the advice, but Bronx Community would not allow me to retake the courses that brought my GPA down to a 2.4, due to the fact that they only allow you to retake courses in which you receive failing grades. Therefore 1 bad semester full of D's seemed to have left me with little to no options.
