Gwynedd Mercy Fall 2013

Published

I was accepted for the fall semester & have yet to send in my deposit. I would love to hear from some current or past students regarding their experience there. I received a letter explaining which classes I've already taken can be applied there, yet I've read some postings where they don't accept credits & you have to repeat everything there. Is this true? I already have an Associates degree & all but 1 general class finished. I don't want to have to start from scratch. If that's the case I'll keep trying to get accepted elsewhere.Thanks!

Kaplan doesn't allow choices in different time frames of access, I believe its 3 months of access plus the class. the class is either 1 week of full days or 2 weeks of 1/2 days depending on locations I think. They held one at school and it was 2 weeks but my friend took one at another location and it was full days. I think it was $350 :-(

If you access the state one I mentioned you get to choose lengths of access based on price

Ok I'll have to check it out. Hey I'll pay $350 for something I know will help me pass. I'll probably do the half days. I don't know if I could retain 8 hours of information.

WOW, @ juliesmoltis you have been so unselfishly helpful in your tips with GMC. Since you've recently graduated, I have a few questions(if u don't mind) that GMC doesn't give away from their public website.

A) Do they have an LPN-RN bridge program?

B) What is the cost(approx) of the entire program if you already have the prereqs?

C) For clinicals, do you have to go to the clinical site the night before and meet your patient and gather all patient medical information?

D) The academic success tutor center you describe, are the tutors nursing curicullum knowledged with nursing experience?

E) What is the typical classroom size? I've once attended a Burn Conference at GMC in an auditorium style venue.

F) The senior year Summer courses, are they compulsory to be taken in Summer or can they be taken in a full semester as well?

@cupidsqueen, how easy was it for you to transfer your CCP Nursing course/s(not prereqs) into GMC? I took all my prereqs at CCP as well, and currently taking Micro. I have 44 credits from CCP, was denied into CCPs nursing program twice-once as a traditional student applicant and secondly into the LPN-RN portion I had one W so...

I would really appreciate your response ladies. Thankyou in advance, and all the best of luck on your hard work and determination. It does pay off at the end!

1) Not sure about that. They have an RN to BSN but I don't believe they have an LPN to RN.

2) No matter how many prereqs you have GMC requires you to be a fulltime student during the RN program so the cost per year is $29k

3) You do not go onsite prior to the day. You meet your instructor as well as the 5-7 other students and the instructor will tell you who your patient is that day. It is up to you at that time to gather medical information and do your assessment.

4) There are tutors specifically for nursing. There are 9 right now and all of them are booked up...lol people grab them fast. However there are regular tutors and academic success classes to help you with test taking strategies, note taking, etc.

5) All nursing classes are in the auditorium style seating and they are typically full. Your labs for nursing are smaller, roughly 20-25

6) Julie will have to answer for you.

I had to medically withdrawl from my nursing courses at ccp so they didn't transfer because I didn't complete them. All of my other classes came over so I'm actually a sophomore level student but a freshman nursing major. I will complete my BSN in three years instead of four because of that.
