Does anyone have any information about the Diploma RN school offered by Mercy? Has anyone gone there or know someone that has? Would you please share information about it with me?

To add to the previous msg....

I am currently in CPCC's program and will graduate in May.

It is an excellent program. Applications for admission for next years program are due some time in december I believe.

With CHS and Presby you need your CNA when you apply.

You do not need it at CPCC. All programs are going to get you your degree ..but you also have to look at how well you're prepared to take the NCLEX....or it wont matter what kind of degree you have. I would also advise taking as many prereq classes as possible before starting..especially if you have a family or like to breath occasionally. All the nursing courses at CPCC are during the day..they are at the vast majority of the schools around here...I havent heard of any night classes yet...you may have a clinical or two at night..but plan for the day.

One word to learn for nursing school..FLEXIBLE.....

that is the one word they taught us at orientation..

I still have the occasional panic moment trying to fit everything in...but the end is in sight..

hope this helps

ANS is a wonderful thing..............

Once I decided that I wanted to persue an RN license, I applied to every program for 5 counties around. At the time, I lived in Denton, (Davidson County), & I applied to Davidson Co. Comm. Col.; CPCC; Forsyth Tech; GTCC; UNC-G: UNC-C: Presbyterian; Pfieffer; Stanley;...you get the picture. I thought Presbyterian was a very impressive school. They answered my questions, were willing to help, & put me in touch with an upperclass student to give me a better feel for the program. I've only heard good things about them.

Either way, my advice is " don't put all your eggs in one basket".

You don't have to get as crazy as I did with the applications, but definitely apply to more than one school. Do it quickly! Deadlines are passing for this fall! (2004)

Good Luck!:)
