"This is one of the most unorganized schools I've ever attended. The administrative staff is unresponsive, rude, and unhelpful when it comes to working with students. The clinical registration process is one of the most stressful days of the semester. The process is unfair and the site continuously crashes, leading many students unable to register for locations within the vicinity of where they live. On top of that, the staff is dismissive of any errors within the system and leaves students feeling disrespected and unheard when they rightfully ask for assistance. The professors are knowledgeable and kind but that is the only saving grace in this program. I urge potential students to go elsewhere."

"If given the chance to go back and do it all over again, I would stay far, far away from Mercy. I’m a current Weekend Accelerated BSN student, 4.0 student with less than a year left to go.Pros: - Accelerated BSN program is one of, if not, the cheapest in the area.-They accept a large cohort of students & have very lax admission standards. Cons: - They DO NOT care about you. You are a walking dollar sign to the school, they care about the money - not the students. - Class scheduling is a MESS! They’ll have you on campus till 10pm, then turn around and schedule you for a 7am clinical the next day. - They will lecture you on being “professional” then act anything but themselves. I cannot tell you the amount of condescending, thoughtless, rude emails I’ve received from various staff. - Aside from a handful of professors they hire the laziest, most complacent and lackluster individuals to teach you. It could not be more obvious that it’s just a paycheck - the enthusiasm is gone, the passion is missing, the knowledge - nowhere to be found. You WILL have to teach yourself. It’s miserable, just be prepared - a good friend group, a white board & active recall before exams will save you. - Clinical Registration & Site Options: A bloody nightmare! This could take up the entire review itself, it’s that bad. The clinical team can never be reached when there is an issue (that’s often) and despite having an population made entirely of commuting students, they focus heavily on the Bronx and Westchester - despite claiming they work in all 5 boroughs, Westchester, Suffolk and Rockland counties. - Leadership: The dean is not actively involved and the assistant dean’s are dismissive and rude. The weekend program coordinator doesn’t seem to care to get involved and good luck advocating for yourself because they simply don’t care - they know they have you over a barrel, your bargaining power is zilch. My advice? Run! But if you’re already in, just remember the only way out, is through - you can do this!"

"Their nursing program is the worst especially their clinical placement team, they lack humanity... how ironic for nursing they lack humanity, they place you 70+ miles away from your home and think it's ok. You are not suppose to say anything like students aren't paying their money. I didn't know they were doing us favors or doing anything for free. Stay away from this school"

"I am currently a graduate student at Mercy college. I am in my final year of the Nursing education program. I have taken classes both online and on campus and I have found the advisors and faculty to be very helpful. I believe they genuinely want to see everyone succeed and they always follow through to ensure yo aren't falling behind. It is a private school so the tuition is expensive, but you will receive a great education."
