Nursing Students School Programs

Published

Hey! Just wanted to start a forum for anybody applying to this program for fall 2018. I have everything turned in and I'm just waiting for it all to process on the portal. I retook some science course after I dropped out of school for three years but managed to repeat all my classes with an a so my science gpa is looking like a 3.7 but it will be a 2.9 if it is averaged but I am not sure. I have 400 hours of volunteer service. 2 years of CNA experience. 1 year of managent experience ans I got an 85.3 on my teas first try. Feel free to share your stats or your anticipation! If I'm accepted I also would like to know my future colleagues :)

Haven't heard anything except for the merry Christmas letter and see you next year. :/ it's totally crazy to have us wait until April. Did they tel you to study for anything?

Anatomy... that's what makes it so terrifying and intense. That's a lot to study and we don't know if we're going to be tested or asked questions. Asking questions makes it even more terrifying. I'm scared. I really need to get in fall ‘18 to graduate on time.

Yep they told me the same thing... wow I thought I was the only one. Our stats must of have been just enough but not quite. But I agree, anatomy is a two semester class, to just "study" it to have a seat in the fall is terrifying... but I'm glad I'm not alone. I need this to graduate on time as well. I'm already a non traditional student and I kinda already told my family I was in sooooo :/

I don't know how they calculated my gpa since I dropped out of school twice and retook the classes I dropped. If you take my last attempts my gpa should have been science 3.8 if not, then maybe 2.9. My teas score was an 85. Recommendation letter from my microbiology teacher and cna experience.

I wasn't accepted directly, I have to do an interview in April.

Hi! Did they ask for a letter of recommendation or did you just submit it as an extra document?

I wanted to provide one since I felt like my grades were a bit low. Felt like the extra push could help!

Does anyone know if Mercer wants letters of recommendation?
