Hi,

I plan on applying for the Spring 2021 ABSN program at Mercy College in the BRONX, NY. I'm sure there are many students looking for advice and support from other potential students as well. Feel free to leave any helpful tips, comments and the struggles that you may come across while applying.

Hi,

Thank you for your response, I appreciate it. I’m looking at the school as a whole, so while the passing rate isn’t the only deciding factor, it’s still a factor that worried me nonetheless. It’s true that passing the NCLEX ultimately comes down to the individual student, however it’s good to see the majority of a class pass as opposed to more than half of them not passing. It’s a reflection of the program overall as well.

but yes, I also did take into consideration that it is a new program and it’s a process, so hopefully we see those numbers slowly rise!

I apologize If I made anyone anxious about this, it wasn’t my intention at all and I figured it’s something everyone should be aware of if they decide to attend the program. 

I definitely agree with you that the passing rate isn't the sole factor, but it matters especially when we do not have much information about the school and the program. (btw I think I got confused with Mercy college in dif states for the passing rate)

Hi guys,

I know everyone is starting to question and second guess if they want to attend Mercy after their NCLEX pass rate, however, I personally wouldn't just go based on their stats because each nursing program does help prepare students for the NCLEX, its just whether or not each individual retains the information. I know so many former nursing students from the same/different  programs and some who have passed their NCLEX for the first time and others who didn't and took them at least one more or even 2-3 more times and still became an RN. I do believe schools do prepare you for passing the NCLEX otherwise they would not be accredited. This is also fairly a new program as well so as time goes by their pass rates will tend to rise. Also you have to look at how many people are in each class as well. Schools with a smaller class population will have a rougher time with their stats. When students prepare for the NCLEX or other license/ state exams, you usually rely on books based on that specific exam, the notes and powerpoints from your classes not as much. I am personally going based on former students I know who have dealt with studying and taking the NCLEX. All I'm saying is that at the end of the day its based on how well the student retains the info and prepares for the exam. 

Thnx for sharing the info. I wish I can hear more stories from former/current students from Mercy. Lack of information is what makes me a lil anxious. Hopefully, we can learn more about the program during the info session.
