| Mission of the School |
The mission of the Cochran School of Nursing is to educate men and women in the art and science of professional nursing. This two-year program is designed to lead to an Associate Degree in Applied Science and to prepare students for licensure as a Registered Professional Nurse (RN). The faculty assumes the responsibility to provide an educational foundation that supports the health needs of the multicultural community in which the graduate will serve. Focusing largely on the nursing process, the faculty facilitates student achievement of the program objectives and assists them to function in the current health care delivery system. Inherent in the teaching methods is the educational processes that enable the graduate to think critically in providing patient/family focused nursing care. There is emphasis on developing individual goals for personal growth, professional involvement, and participation in life long learning. |

| Message from the School's Administration |
The Cochran School of Nursing, founded in 1894, has a history of preparing professional nurses who practice with compassion, enthusiasm, integrity and vision. Because nursing is a practice profession, we make sure our students participate in as much hands-on-care as possible. Our school is fortunate to be affiliated with St. Johns’ Riverside Hospital, a leading health care facility so when our students are in their clinical rotations they are learning from and working with some of the best nurses in their chosen profession. The relationship between Cochran School of Nursing and St. John’s Riverside Hospital also provides students with a sense of community. Cochran’s Simulation Laboratory and Skills Laboratory provides a “state of the art” environment in which students can practice nursing skills and clinical decision making that are needed to provide comprehensive and safe nursing care.
Nursing is an excellent and varied career that allows you to serve others and grow personally as well as professionally. We invite you to take a look at Cochran and learn why Cochran nurses are some of the best!
