Woot woot! Congrats! :), 

last I spoke to (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME - PLEASE DO NOT POST IDENTIFYING INFO ABOUT OTHERS) he said in the next couple of weeks we should be receiving more info. My guess is that they are waiting for after the deadline, to be sure of who is in the program to then send out a mass email to everyone. Also, I looked at the Pre Licensure handbook 2025-2026 (found on the mercy website on the nursing page, or if you search on Google which is what I did LOL) and it tells you which classes should be taken first second semester etc. 

 

This is the handbook: 

I was just looking at that handbook. Thanks, I kinda figured he said the same thing to me, Im just being impatient LOL. Im just excited to finally start this new chapter.

[Gabriella Rosa]

literally SAME! LOL I'm so super excited, impatient, nervous. All the above haha

[maxwell93]

[Gabriella Rosa]

Did anyone just get a message from Mercy to check for something waiting in the application portal? I just checked it and it told me I was accepted in the Spring 2026 absn, but I already knew that LOL when I got the email back in September. It's very confusing.

[Gabriella Rosa]

LOL did not get that email 😅

I am just very confused LOL. I had to email (MODERATOR EDIT OF NAME - PLEASE DO NOT POST IDENTIFYING INFO ABOUT OTHERS) about it because I got my acceptance on September 15 and I assumed it was for the Spring 2026 semester because I had gotten waitlisted for the Fall 2025 entrance and I had him send the application again to be reconsider for the Spring 2026 entrance. Now I just got an email for the Spring 2026 program saying I was accepted and have to pay for my deposit, but I did all of that already and why would I be accepted into the fall program if it has already started? Just very confusing and now he has to look into it. Im just hoping I don't have to pay for the deposit again. I sent all my proof about it LOL Just bizarre this happened to me. 

[Gabriella Rosa]

Ohhhh that's suspicious. Yeah hopefully they sort that out. Shouldn't have to pay again if you already paid, on your end you can show proof I'm sure & then they can exempt it or something.

So just got of the phone with financial services - Spring 2026 costs 14,140 thats just tuiton (doesnt include books or anything else). sooo its a lot more than I originally thought  it was going to be LOL  and she said that every Summer tuition goes up about 300 dollars...…..  SIGH

 

[Gabriella Rosa]

Every time I think about the tuition I wanna throw up 😭😣. I'm most likely going to rely heavily on loans

[maxwell93]

me too ... unfortunately I already used most of my federal loans for my first bachelors in accounting a decade ago - I have almost nothing left I would have do private loans which is gonna be a killer 

she did mention this program called a 1199 cpt - they pay for EVERYTHING the only catch - you have to work in a hospital associated with the program for 3-4 years once you get your license (she wasn't sure exact time frame) 

I just looked it u:
