Mercy University Accelerated Nursing Program - Fall 2025 weekend

[BSNhereicome]

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!

Does anyone know if we have to go to a place to do the N95 fit testing ourselves or is mercy going to do it for us?

I went in person yesterday the influenza and the N95 is not due August 1, so I know the school will prob email us in regards to when to get it done. Remember to do the BLS and the urine test at quest diagnosis location that's close by and they will send the results automatically to castle branch and that takes 3-5 days.

There were previous postings on blackboard for the other cohorts, I was scrolling through and saw that they had fit testing in Mercy, and they also gave info on other in-person sites.

For weekday, we have another orientation in August. You guys have a totally different schedule.

Unfortunately, no. I'm at North Westchester Restorative Hospital, on Tuesdays. Far away from my home, but I'll do my best to make it work.

It will work, and you'll be one clinical closer to the goal.
I think some semesters will be more convenient than others, and I'm glad we all have each other for support.

Has anyone else had an issue with contacting financial aid? I received a call from someone saying my classes would be dropped if I didn't have a method of payment; however, they won't answer the phone or respond to any emails to know about the payment.

Same here. I've been calling for the past two weeks, including trying to reach out other financial advisors. It's so anxiety inducing.

Agreed. I called, and someone hung up on me. They won't receive anything until I speak with someone. They can't just expect students to hand them over thousands of dollars, without respectfully speaking with them.
