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! 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!!

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.
