Nursing Preparation

Admission to the Georgia Baptist College of Nursing of Mercer University and other nursing programs is highly competitive, and is weighed on a number of factors; one of these includes the prerequisite courses that a student has taken. Due to the academic rigor of the nursing program, science courses which are older than 5 years may not be accepted. Additionally, science courses taken online may not be accepted.
