Gwynedd-Mercy ASN Program

[erniebertandme]

I am considering Gwynedd-Mercy College's Associates in Nursing program. This question is for anyone who went to or is currently in Gwynedd's Nursing program - Is is possible to get good grades (mostly A's) in this program? I want to go to graduate school (law school), so getting excellent grades is VERY important to me.

Also, for those of you who went, did you like the program? Would you recommend it? How were the clinical instructors?

Thanks for your help! I really appreciate it!

Hello, I have not attended Gwynedd-Mercy's program but I know some people who were interested and some who went and I've heard nothing but bad things about the program. First off, if you have any previous credits from other colleges, GMC most likely will not transfer the credits (that's the biggest complaint). And if you are going into their ASN program, they will not accept any pre-reqs...you have to start from scratch (I know this from researching the school myself).

Many people I know ended up going to Abington, or applying to La Salle, Temple, Drexel, and Jeff.

Just be careful and really check everything out before signing anything. They are known for trying to get you to sign an agreement and leave a deposit right away.

Good luck with everything!!

Honestly? I wouldn't do this program. I got my ASN from Gwynedd. It's a good program, and I never had any problems with it. But if I did it over I'd get a BSN. I graduated last May and still can't get a hospital job. Mainly because I don't have a BSN.
