Hello future fellow RNs! I recently applied to Mercy Univeristy ABSN program in the Bronx for the Summer 2025 semester start. I'm looking forward to hearing that I got in (speaking into existence) and thought to ease my nerves in the meantime, I'd start this forum to connect with other applicants, potential cohorts, and those currently in the program! For those currently in the program, can you share your experience so far? How do you like it? Are you receiving support? What is your experience like managing the workload? A bit about me: My undergrad GPA was terrible (2.5, my grades went down at the pandemic hit and I barely graduated). I have taken classes since and brought my overall up to 2.73. my cumulative prerequisite GPA for the program is 3.8. I have years of experience in a variety of direct/healthcare (DSP, Phlebotomy, Care management) as well as a manager who is a nurse that provided a strong LOR. Although I feel a bit nervous about the waiting process, I have a lot of optimism in my experience, LOR, and personal statement. Im in my later 20's now and I feel much more prepared to embody what it takes so excell in nursing school than I did in my early 20's so I'm really looking forward to this next chapter. Let's stay in touch!

Hi. I am interested in applying for 2025 and am in this exact position as I have taken some pre reqs in 2015. Did you find out any more information about how the school is with cases of just meeting the 10 year limit?
