Hi All,
I hope all is well! I figured I would start this forum because I applied to Mercy University's Fall 2025 weekend accelerated nursing program. Looking forward to sharing ideas and celebrating our acceptance!

Agreed, they can't keep us waiting like this. I feel that even if things don't get started until later in the Summer, just give everyone a heads up, so we can prepare and enjoy the Summer.
Hey Nurses-to-be!
I had a session with my PACT advisor today, I come bearing gifts (I think LOL). I asked about orientation, finacial aide, and physical/medical clearances.
If I'm not mistaken, the drug test will be done closer to the time of orientation.

- I was told that a date is not set for orientation yet, but it looks like they are aiming for early/mid August; at that point, we will meet many of the staff members, PACT advisors, financial aide, and receive information about the facilities and services available to us.
- In regard to financial aide, we are allowed to make an appointment for a phone call, or go in person (no appointment necessary for in person). I'm not sure if this goes for just the Bronx, or if DF is included (forgot to ask, sorry).
- Lastly, I was told that we would have to sign up for a program called [castle branch?], where we will have to log clinical information and abide by a medical/physical checklist (immunizations, drug testing etc).
If I'm not mistaken, the drug test will be done closer to the time of orientation.
Oh wow! Thank you for all of this information! Very helpful

Thanks for the information. I wish they had finalized dates for orientation already. Summer is really close and I'd like to know if I had to change my plans. *sigh* LOL. Guess we shall see.
