When does the next cohort begin?
Cohorts start every March, August, and November. Unlike many hospitals, we do not require you to have the same start date as your cohort peers. You can begin working right after you are licensed and join the next available cohort. Please apply when you get within 120 days of taking the NCLEX; you and your recruiter will decide on the best date to start.
