Hey I saw this entry and I know it's old, but I am starting Mercy in May '09 and wondered if you had any advice? Do most people sign up with the loan forgiveness program? Any feedback from them now, if they have graduated? Are you familiar with a similar program through the state of NC? You have to pay that back too..trying to decide between the two programs. Any advice would help. Thanks!

Hey. I see you were starting at Mercy and wanted to find out how it is going. I begin there in May. I am trying to decide whether to sign that loan forgiveness agreement or go with the NC Scholar Program that also pays for part of school. Any advice on Mercy? Thanks!

OK, thanks. Can you tell me about some of the differences and would you steer away from getting a diploma at Mercy School of Nursing?

Does it matter when I go to apply for a job if I get an ASN or a diploma?

Thanks a lot. Is Presbyterian's program a diploma as well? Which would you recommend?

Hello NC nurses. I could use your help. I am just starting my journey and taking my TEAS Saturday. I am applying to Mercy School of Nursing through CMC, but am also looking at UNCC, CPCC, and South Piedmont Community College. CMC offers the loand forgiveness program so that's pretty attractive to me. Any advice about those schools? Is there any financial aid out there in NC? How about the state payback program? Was the TEAS difficult? Help!

OK thank you!

OK thanks for the advice!

Hi, I am making the career jump and wanted to see if anyone had any advice on choosing a nursing school in the Charlotte, NC area. I have a BS in an unrelated field and am looking at Mercy School of Nursing, but I know there are also programs at UNCC, South Piedmont, CPCC and so on. The loan forgiveness program is appealing at Mercy.
