Mercy College Accelerated weekend program 2022

Published

Hello, 

Has anyone applied for the Mercy college accelerated second degree weekend program? I recently started my application and I would like to meet other students who have applied or are planning to apply. Also, students who are currently in the program and advice or tips on the program? 

 

I look forward to your response. 

best regards,

Amanda :) 

CONGRATULATIONS ???

I will. I feel so lost I paid my deposit and I don't even know what is the next step.

It feels like a lot and it might seem overwhelming. However rest assured that very soon, they’ll  send you information (more like an email with information) on what to do next. 
 

For now, bask in the joy of being accepted. ??

Hello everyone, 

I just found out that I was accepted to Fall 2022 Weekend Program this afternoon! I submitted my seat deposit and withdrew from online Genetics class. Kinda happy I don't have to take that class, as it planned only for another program . Also, sent a request to join the facebook group. 

Congrats all of you that have already been accepted! Looking forward to meeting you all soon & getting more details on the next steps!

Can anyone tell me if there is a time limit on prerequisites? I retook A&P and Microbiology, however other classes are more than 10 years old. 
 

Thank you,

Anna

There are not. Mine were all right at the 9 or 10 year mark and I was accepted.

Hello,

 

how is the reference letter process when submitting the application? 

did you have to upload a reference letter?

Or did Mercy application send a reference letter to the person you suggested? I’m wondering if it’s like nursing CAS reference letters.

 

Is a high school transcript required?

 

thank you.

Did anyone from last year get their acceptance? If so, how is the weekend program? I work full time m-f and am going to apply for next fall 2024 but I'm worried about if I'll be able to do it because I can't quit my job or take less hours.

The program is Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays for classes and clinicals. Although in person instruction is only 3 days it's still considered a full time program. There is a lot of studying/homework that has to be done outside those three days. 

If you can't quit your job or work less hours then maybe this is not the program for you.
some students failed classes and are out of the program because they didn't cut on work hours.  Now they're out of the program + the debt of those classes they failed.

Yet if nursing is what you want to do but can't quit or work less hours, then consider a part-time weekend program. 

If you decide to do an Accelerated BSN program assess that you're 100 % committed to it and that means that for the duration of the program you'll  sacrifice current lifestyle, quality time with loved ones, missing important events, social life  and you must reduce working hours. With the goal that it's temporary and 2 that it'll be worthy it. 
 

working less hours is not just for the sake of completing homework but also so that one can have a certain degree of rest. If one is  exhausted all the time, one's brain won't be able to retain much information. 

I hope this info helps.
