Upcoming Goldfarb School of Nursing Events for Prospective Students
Updated
Goldfarb School of Nursing lists two upcoming events aimed directly at prospective students: a High School Preview Day on November 2, 2026, and a virtual information session for the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) program on November 9, 2026. Both are free to learn about from the events section of the school's website, and each serves a different audience — high schoolers exploring nursing as a career versus nurses considering an advanced practice graduate program. A third listed event, the Fall 2026 Pinning Ceremony on December 17, 2026, is a ceremony for current students rather than an admissions event.
Events Listed for Prospective Students
| Date | Event | Who it's for | Format |
|---|---|---|---|
| November 2, 2026 | High School Preview Day | High school students exploring nursing | On-campus (per event description) |
| November 9, 2026 | Virtual Information Session for the PMHNP Program | Nurses considering the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner program | Virtual |
| December 17, 2026 | Fall 2026 Pinning Ceremony | Current students and families | Ceremony, not an admissions event |
High School Preview Day — November 2, 2026
According to the event listing, this session is designed to show what it's like to be a Goldfarb nursing student. Attendees can learn about nursing careers, connect with the school community, and hear about opportunities at Goldfarb. It fits students who are early in the college search and want a feel for the campus and program culture before applying — the site separately points high schoolers toward its High School to BSN pathway.
PMHNP Virtual Information Session — November 9, 2026
This session is led by program director Christina Williams, DNP, APRN, PMHNP-BC. Because it's virtual, it suits working nurses who can't easily travel to St. Louis. It's the more targeted of the two events: rather than a general overview, it focuses on one graduate specialty, so it's most useful if you're already weighing the PMHNP role or comparing advanced practice paths.
Pinning Ceremony — December 17, 2026
The Fall 2026 Pinning Ceremony is a milestone event for graduating students. It appears in the same events feed but isn't an admissions or information event, so prospective students don't need to plan around it.
How to Find the Full Calendar and Register
The homepage shows only a short list of upcoming events and notes that Goldfarb "offers a range of events for prospective students, current students, and alumni," with a prompt to check back regularly. To see everything and get registration details:
- Go to the Goldfarb School of Nursing homepage (barnesjewishcollege.edu).
- Find the Upcoming Goldfarb events section.
- Select See all upcoming events to open the full calendar.
- Open an individual event's Learn More link for time, location or virtual access details, and sign-up instructions.
The homepage excerpt doesn't include registration deadlines, capacity limits, or whether sessions are recorded, so confirm those on each event page before planning.
Choosing Between the Two Events
- You're in high school and nursing is a possible path: start with High School Preview Day to see the campus and hear about careers; it's the broadest introduction.
- You're already an RN or BSN-prepared nurse weighing an advanced practice degree: the PMHNP virtual session gives you direct access to the program director and specialty-specific detail.
- You want a general overview of all programs (BSN, MSN, DNP, PhD): neither event covers everything — use the program pages linked from the homepage, or the Request Info option, alongside the events calendar.
Practical Notes
Goldfarb's site states that 80% of its students currently receive grants or scholarships and highlights the BJC Full-Ride Scholars program, so if cost is part of your decision, ask about financial aid during an information session or follow the scholarship links from the homepage. The events list is dated well ahead, which means dates can shift — recheck the calendar close to the event rather than relying on this summary alone.
