STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
What The Students Say
You are not going to get an experience like it anywhere else. Having the stability of being at one hospital through everything just makes such a difference. And the Cooper nurses are great. This program has exceeded my expectations.
My favorite aspect of the BAYADA Scholars Track is the support. They really do everything they can to support their students. They want you to succeed and it shows. And they make it fun, which I really appreciate.
It's not an easy program, but it's definitely very rewarding. Professor Sokolowski and Professor Torp give you this attention and care you don't get anywhere else. Everyone is supporting you and wants you to prosper.
