Nursing students can earn while they learn at Mercy College
Mercy College of Ohio has added a spring start to the Associate of Applied Science in Nursing degree program. Applications are now being accepted for the first spring start, which will begin in January 2021.
While the first class will have limited spaces, any accepted student who is waitlisted will be guaranteed a space in the August 2021 class.
Mercy College students now have the opportunity to “Earn While they Learn” with employment opportunities at Mercy Health facilities while in school. Positions match where students are in their program of study, so there are roles for students just getting started at the entry-level, nurse externs who have completed specific courses, and, of course, positions for recent graduates.
Working in these roles enables students to kick-start their careers while gaining hands-on experience working with patients and healthcare teams.
These positions offer flexible scheduling in the healthcare environment relevant to what they are learning. Students can network with hospital staff and identity where they would like to eventually work.
Mercy College offers multiple paths to become a nurse, with a day or evening/weekend associate degree program and a bachelor’s degree program.
Applications are also being accepted for an accelerated BSN program that will begin in 2021. Those who have an RN license can continue their education in the RN-BSN program, and for those who have a BSN, Mercy College offers a Master of Science in Nursing. It’s a great time to be a nurse as the demand for RNs has reached levels not seen in over 80 years.
