Mercy School of Nursing

Does Not Exist

They do offer an 80/20 loan in which CHS will pay 80% of your tution if you agree to work for them for 2 years after graduating but of course you are not assured a job. When I started school everyone that graduated had a job before they graduated unfortunately this was not the case when I graduated. HR decided they only wanted to pursue a handful of the graduates that semster and the rest of us were essentially kicked aside and left to try and find employment on our own. They did not even attempt to refer to other systems.

You had to attend class. Instructors would post their power points on line.

Great instructors. If you make it through the program you should have no trouble passing the NCLEX. Clinical experiences were OK. The school and the associated hospital was bought by Carolina's Health Care System but clinicals were limited to Mercy Hospital and CMC-Pinville which used to be Mercy South I think. The only clinicals we were allowed to do at CMC-main was pediatrics. Clinicals would have been much better if we could have done clinicals at CMC-main. Unlike other schools if you do not pass a nursing course, you do not automatically get to repeat the class. You have to apply for readmission and typically unless you are a minority student you do not get back it. (I am just telling you what I observed. My first semester we had several students who did not make the cut and only 2 (one was a guy) were readmitted)
