GMercyU offers online prerequisite courses in the health sciences specifically designed for students like you who want to make the change to a nursing career. These classes are offered online and feature hands-on, at-home laboratory experiences. Prerequisite online nursing courses are offered at $365 per credit. You may also complete these courses at another accredited college or university. If any of the required prerequisite science courses did not include laboratory sciences or were completed more than seven years ago, you will need to complete and pass these courses before beginning your BSN degree. Virtual Labs for the science courses are not accepted. In addition, the Nutrition course must be taught by a Registered Dietician. We offer online health sciences prerequisites that can help you fill any gaps in your knowledge.

Why should you pursue your BSN at GMercyU's nursing school? A BSN degree is the standard for entry-level nursing positions today and is increasingly a prerequisite for work in hospital settings. Our Weekend BSN program, offered in a hybrid format, can be completed in three years.

This is an excellent option if you want to become a professional registered nurse, but also need to continue working while earning your degree. Pursing a BSN degree involves continued growth as an educated person and citizen of the world, as well as education as a professional nurse infused with Mercy values.
