Hi! I'm not sure st.mags will still take applications? I think the cut off date was in June? In any case, I'm going to mercy in the fall and the schedule depends on what classes you have to take. Have you taken any of the college courses yet?

Also, working full time and going to nursing school is suicide. They don't recommend it.

It may be possible if you have some or all of your college courses out of the way though.

Hey! I came across this thread, but I was also looking into Mercy for the fall 2014. I took the entrance exam already for shadyside and failed it miserably.

I didn't do so great the first time either. I started taking the PSB in august of 2012 and had to retake the math portion again in November 2012 to get into the fall 2013 start. Once that's over it's smooth sailing lol.

Okay at least I'm not the only one! Right now I'm taking some classes at Ccbc. So you did get accepted for the fall 2013? Congrats that's very exciting

st mags is not accepting new students until fall of 2014 and mercy is still accepting students for 2013. i want to take my classes that can transfer at ccac and maybe start st mags next fall. wondering if i should do that, or just complete the nursing program at ccac

What I'm gonna do it try for both mercy and ccbc. That way I have a better chance of getting accepting to a nursing program. But I'd prefer mercy for sure!

I go to mercy and I love it there! I work full time so it can be done but it's super stressful. Good luck on applying!
