The school proudly counts more than 2,500 graduates who have served patients throughout the United States and around the world.
The Cochran School of Nursing is the oldest nursing school in Westchester County and has a long history of preparing excellent nursing clinicians. The school is strongly committed to preparing nurses who are competent to serve the health care needs of our communities.
In the beginning of the 21st Century and thereafter, we will see a greater need in the care of elders, for the protection and support of infants, women and children, and for the growing healthcare needs of our diverse communities. Nursing is the one profession that weaves together assessment and caring for all people in the management of their health and illness.
The mission of the Cochran School of Nursing is to educate men and women in the art and science of professional nursing. 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 healthcare delivery system. Inherent in our 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.
