Georgia Baptist College of Nursing/ Mercer University Fall 2019

Published

Hey!

I wanted to start a thread for those applying to Mercer's nursing program starting fall 2019. As of now, I know that the application has not been opened but they did say is should open sometime this month. I am on my last semester of prerequisites, which consists of microbiology and the lab and philosophy. I had my transcript evaluated last semester and was told my transfer GPA is a 3.349 and my science GPA is a 3.000. I highly recommend you guys get your transcript evaluated, especially those transferring! I have 2 years experience as a CNA in home care and 1 in the hospital setting along with some hospital volunteer hours. Share your stats, advice and questions. Good luck to everyone!

I hope everyone doesn’t think I’m intrusive but are there any older candidates out there ? I’m a SAHM of 19 years and have a MS in Rehabilitation Counseling , a BS in Health Science and an AS in Physical Therapist Assistant. I’m finding that I cannot get a job bc of my 19 year gap. ( My son has left for his first year of college so now I have time for me! ) I want to do medical missions but I just don’t just want to do blood pressures . I want to be in the thick of things . I don’t get any encouragement from family x my son who says “ Mom , you would be great ! “ . I’m not going to be able to do this program bc I’m 2 hrs from Atlanta and can’t afford an apartment since my son is at am OOS school . Would love to hear from older ( 40-50 plus )

They will email you a list of things to prepare for. I looked up nursing interviews on YouTube and it helped me a lot.

I just got my conditional acceptance! It feels so good! But then I came back to reality ? For scholarships I have looked on nurses.org

Anyone have any other suggestions?

I was accepted on the 24th but in the email I recieved and in the application portal it does not mention an interview? Why?

Hey Rose, my stats were:

Transfer GPA: 3.5

Science GPA: 3.0

TEAS Score: 87.3%

Also, I’ve had my CNA license for about 2 years but I didn’t work anywhere; I just did the clinicals at the end of the certification. I didn’t want to leave my current job.
