MSON - Charlotte Fall 2012 Hopefulls!

U.S.A. North Carolina

I browsed around and didn't see a MSON- Charlotte Fall 2012 thread, so I thought I'd create one!

Anyone else applied or planning to apply for Mercy School of Nursing for Fall 2012 acceptance??

I, too, have attended small schools since middle school and loved knowing my teachers and all my classmates. I think it's really a unique experience. Mercy was my top choice primarily because of the hospital based program! I'm a kinesthetic learner and learn best (and become more comfortable with new things) by doing them over and over, so I'm thinking & hoping the extra clinical experience will be a boon.

I read about the Pell grant thing a while back on one of the Federal student aid sites, and just got my aid report back from FAFSA, which confirmed it. Apparently I'm also nearly maxed out on federal loans for this type program (might have something to do with the number of credit hours required for it...not really sure). I definitely want to minimize my loan debt, but I, too, am willing to take out loans for this. Any job I get as a nurse will pay more than anything I've earned since graduation! I was also thinking like you, about getting the CMC loan and possibly working there while completing the BSN.

We have 6 months to enjoy ourselves! Then...as you said, pain!

Seattle2Charlotte: fingers crossed for you!

you can consolidate your loans through federal direct loans now and it will allow you to take out more loans and after ten years of income based repayment any left over balance is forgiven... Just an option

I got in!!!!! See can all in the fall

Hi everyone! I will be starting at Mercy this Fall and may be looking for a room mate when school starts. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in the Southpark area (Sharon Rd & Wendover) that is around $700 total a month with utilities, would be half that with a room mate. It is a 15-20 minute drive to the school but closer to many CMC facilities where we will probably have clinicals. PM me if you are interested!

Hi Sasolaka -- I would be interested in knowing more about this apartment. I can see the location on google maps, its not too far from CMC facilities, as you say, but what would be the best way to get to campus? Local roads?

Sorry I can't PM you, its disabled on my account, apparently I don't use this forum enough to PM. but can you provide the exact name of the apartment building so I can look into it further? the rent sounds great, esp for south park area. do you have separate baths?

I'll be in the area end of May for the registration session, I'm planning one looking at places then. maybe I can come see yours then too if you are still looking for someone.

ps Congratulations on your acceptance!!
