Mercy College NY ABSN Summer 2021

[jenn.herndz]

Hello!

I am starting this thread for those applying to the Summer 2021 ABSN program at Mercy College in the Bronx, NY. I actually was accepted into the program for Spring 2021 cohort, but I had to defer due to medical reasons. I am happy to assist anyone the best way I can through the admissions process as I have gone through it already. Can’t wait to start discussing about this with you all!

Hi all,

I am looking into the ABSN program. How many start dates does the program offer? Also does anyone know how old the pre-reqs have to be for eligibility? Thank you. 

There’s 3 cohorts. You can start Spring, Summer, or fall. And I believe they had to have been taken no more than 10 years ago.

Hi,

Can someone confirm the pre-reqs we need to take for the ABSN program?

(ANP 1/2, Microbio, Pysch, Chem 1/2)?

Yes, that is correct.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Mercy doesn't require an interview for admission right?

[LedaCStew]

As far as I know, no.

Can anyone tell me when does the Summer program start?

Hey everyone,

I applied in October, they told me they won't be able to look at my application until late February, early March.

Hi! I am also trying to apply to nursing school with not that much luck. Do you have any suggestions on how to strengthen a personal statement?

Hi! I honestly think the best thing to write about are your own experiences as to WHY you want to be a nurse. Think about that really hard. What makes you a good candidate? Why should they accept you versus someone else? Try to make it personal and don’t sound so cliché (for example saying something like “I want to be a nurse because I like helping people”). I based mine off of something personal and how I turned something negative into something positive and how that specially affected my decision to want to be a nurse. Just try to introduce yourself through paper and make it interesting ? I hope this was helpful and good luck!!
