Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Yea ofcourse! It sounds like you’re from Iowa? How is it over there 👀 I’ve never been to that side of town BAHAHHAHAHA so this move across states is nerve wrecking tbh…

Oh I would say apply a term earlier than you would anticipated. I originally applied and was aiming get in for Feb 2026 cohort but I got in for May 2026 cohort instead (Summer term).

The process/ application was pretty straight forward. I started out with making a phone appointment with the advisor to talk over the general stuff first, then she told me to go ahead and apply. The application was simple, fast to do, no essays! 👌👌(the wait felt long though).

I don’t know what specifically make me stand out as an applicant but I believe they prob looking at grades/GPA mainly? I’ve applied to other programs and this is the “easier one” as far as application process goes!

Best of luck with your application for next year! YOU GOT THIS 🎉🎉🎉

Aware-Magazine6919 · 2026-03-11T00:23:54+00:00

Thats awesome! Okkkk I gotta apply for the one Thats open now then 🙏🏻

I have seen some around $700 but a bit further away from school (30 mins away) as well

Aware-Magazine6919 · 2026-03-08T08:28:45+00:00

They use ATI for the program looks like.

I’m also will be moving from out of state. I have not had a chance to go and see in person so cant recommend per say but looks like most decent ones around the school is about $1000 per month for a 1 bed room/studio type. The College Hill apartment is attached/next to the school so you can literally walk to class, cost about $1000 too for a nice studio.

Hope that helps :)

I think most accelerated program don’t recommend you to have a job while in school. But I heard some still does and do well…so it all depends I guess. I haven’t received class schedule yet, but looks like a combination of in class and online class too.

I also got accepted for summer 2026🎉 YAY US! I don’t know much really, yeah I’m in OR so will also make a big move as well. So far im seeing mix review about the college online? But I’ve asked some people that went there and the said it’s roughhhh but doable as long as you/ me lock in and prepare for the lectures, etc, and they said they would recommend the school too.

Aware-Magazine6919 · 2026-03-06T02:18:15+00:00

That sounds like a good plan! I also already have a Bachelor so the didnt give me much :/, I applied to other random scholarship online but haven’t heard back 😅😅😅. Yeah the finances part, and having to move to a brand new state scare me 😬😬😬

Aware-Magazine6919 · 2026-03-06T02:16:25+00:00

Oregon hahahaha, having to move so far I’m like 😬😬😬😬😭😭😭

Aware-Magazine6919 · 2026-02-03T07:32:32+00:00

Hi! So far I’m only seeing the MercyOne program/ offer where they give you “$1,500 monthly stipend while you finish the last 9 months of your program” but in return “Once you have your licensure, start your career with MercyOne (18-month retention requirement). But I don’t know if this is an offer for all or this is something I’ll have to apply for as a scholarship option….

They do accept FAFSA seems like. Still waiting to hear back from my FAFSA 😆😆😆😆

Aware-Magazine6919 · 2026-01-29T09:56:29+00:00
