Brockton
Hospital School of Nursing (BHSN), a private co-educational institution
of higher education, is an integral part of Signature Healthcare
Brockton Hospital. Originally established in 1897, BHSN has a
prestigious reputation in nursing education, and remains the only hospital-based
nursing school in the state of Massachusetts. BHSN has graduated over
2000 nurses, mainly from southeastern Massachusetts. We are located 20
miles south of Boston in Brockton, MA.
BHSN has a
collegiate affiliation with Fisher College to conduct a cooperative two
year day and four year weekend/evening nursing program. The program
awards students a diploma in nursing from BHSN and an Associate in
Science degree from Fisher College. Graduates are eligible to sit for
the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) for registered
nurses. In 2008, 95% of our graduates passed the examination on the
first attempt.

number of non-traditional students have also enrolled, including men
adult learners, single parents, and licensed practical nurses.
Weekend/ evening division students
are primarily adult learners who are employed full time in other fields
or are in the process of a career change. You can earn a diploma in
nursing through our weekend/evening classes without taking time from
your workday routine.

eligible for financial assistance may receive a combination of grants,
scholarships and loans individually designed to meet the difference
between student resources and total cost of education. More than half

Financial Aid Net Price Calculator
The Net Price Calculator was developed to help families plan for educational costs at Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital School of Nursing by providing an estimated "net cost" figure (estimated costs less estimated scholarship & grant aid).
Results are based on a combination of 2010-2011 academic year costs and financial aid rules, as well as 2009-2010 institutional scholarship award rules. Note that future costs and financial aid estimates are subject to change.
Need-based aid estimates assume that a student will file the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the May1, 2011, priority deadline. Financial aid eligibility can be significantly reduced if these deadlines are not met.
To use the Net Price Calculator, please click the calculator link below. Keep in mind that this is not a financial aid application and that the data provided or estimator results are not stored by Signature Healthcare Brockton Hospital School of Nursing. In order to receive actual financial aid awards, the FAFSA and a BHSN aid application must be submitted each year of attendance. Students are also encouraged to seek out Private Loans.
