Mercy College

So in addition to talking to my advisior tomorrow, I am 80% possitive that I will complete and send in my transfer transcript and my application to Mercy College. Owens lost their NLNAC accredidation and therefore I cannot take my boards from Owens so there will be no point in continuing clinicals at Owens since those clinical hours don't transfer.
I just wanted to post this and get some feed back from you all. I will finish this semester up and spring at Owens and then hopefully save enough money to actually be able to attend Mercy since it is 3x more expense than Owens for one semester...yikes.
I am choosing Mercy because they do have a really strong program and I think I will benefit from it. I just have to stay ontop of my studies which won't be too hard. BGSU has a program but I have heard nothing but bad about it and all the classes and clinic lab hours are completed at MCO, so since I will be in Toledo anyways, Mercy seems better. Plus its connected to the hospital so I am pretty sure the clinicals are done right there in that hospital instead of having to be sent to a random one in the area (like owens has set up...)
I'll post more about what I find out from my advisior and his boss when I get a chance. I felt like this was a big deal and thought I would inform you all about it..

Well, I think you'll be ok with financial aid, so there is no reason for you to have to "save up". I think you should concentrate on getting the best grades possible form Owens right now, and get as many classes completed as possible. BGSU should remain a possibility for you in case of a transfer to Mercy not being possible.

Sorry to hear about this Jessie. Keep your head up and get moving towards what you want, and what everyone knows you'll be able to achieve. Whatever you may need you know you have your family there to help you out.
