Nursing Programs
Welcome Message from the Interim Dean, Nursing
On behalf of the faculty and staff of the Mercy College Nursing Program, I invite you to explore the possibilities. Whether you are planning to become an RN or looking to further your career in nursing, we have a program for you. Our traditional prelicensure program prepares students to take the RN licensing exam while providing a robust college experience with opportunities to participate in sports and clubs. The accelerated second-degree program, offered primarily on weekends or weekdays on the Bronx campus, allows students with a previous bachelor’s degree to complete their BS in nursing in five semesters. Masters’ programs are designed for nurses to gain career enhancing credentials. All our programs are taught by experienced faculty who are focused on your success. We look forward to welcoming you into the world of Mercy nursing.
