I'm just a newbie on this site, and so far... I'm loving how EVERYONE is soooo helpful! =)
Hopefully someone can help with my questions about Mercy School of Nursing. I already looked on their website and couldn't find the answers to these questions. If I am on the wrong website, please let me know. http://www.cmc-mercy.org/body.cfm?id=108.
I was wondering... 1.) What degree to they offer? ADN or BSN? It doesn't specify. 2) I saw that the tuition is around $4,000? Is that true? Seems kind of too good to be true, in my opinion. However, I am from out of state. Does anyone know the cost of tuition for out-of-state residents? It didn't specify either. 3.) Do you need to have CNA work experience to get into the program? I don't have CNA work experience, but I've been in this hospital setting for years as an administrator and constantly help my mom who runs 2 nursing homes (and her CNA's). So I know that I do belong in this environment. 4.) How hard is it to get in??
Also, how is it living in Charlotte? I live in SF Bay Area right now and I'm willing to move ANYWHERE just to get away from how impacted and expensive it is here. The majority of schools have 2-3 year waitlists! Not for me. I heard wonderful things about Charlotte, NC.
