Laura Jones, B.S.N. '07 Mercy College of Health Sciences "The transition between Iowa and Mercy College was smooth; I transferred 30 Liberal Arts and Science credits towards the Mercy College B.S.N. Integrated Program, which allowed me to receive my R.N. degree, while working towards my B.S.N. degree at the same time. All in a shorter amount of time than I ever thought possible."
