Le Moyne College and Pomeroy College of Nursing at Crouse Hospital Announce New “Early Assurance” Option
Pomeroy College of Nursing at Crouse Hospital (CON) and Le Moyne College have announced a new partnership between the institutions that will greatly benefit nursing students. The new Early Assurance option provides Pomeroy College of Nursing students with the opportunity, once they have earned their earned associate degree in Applied Science with a Major in Nursing, to seamlessly transfer from Pomeroy into the Le Moyne College Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program.
Early Assurance provides a student with the ability to take advantage of the educational and health care resources on University Hill in Syracuse the first two years of college and then the student services and campus facilities at Le Moyne College, including the opportunity to live in a Le Moyne student residence during the third and fourth years of study.
A student interested in the Pomeroy CON/Le Moyne option declares an intention to continue their studies at Le Moyne when he or she applies for admission to the Pomeroy CON. During their second semester of study at Pomeroy CON, students complete a simplified transfer application and meet with an advisor from Le Moyne College. Students receive notification of acceptance and anticipated financial aid, including merit scholarships, from Le Moyne College while still enrolled at Pomeroy CON.
The Pomeroy College of Nursing has scheduled Open Houses for prospective students on Sunday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to noon, and Wednesday, Nov. 11, from 5 to 7 p.m., in the college, located in the Marley Education center, 765 Irving Ave. Faculty will be on hand to provide information and answer questions, and attendees will be able to tour the college, labs and dorms as well as speak with current and former students. Refreshments will be provided, and free parking is available in the Marley Education Center garage. More information can be obtained by calling 470-7481, although reservations are not required.
“Our Early Assurance option provides an exceptional educational opportunity for the nursing student seeking an immediate entry into the clinical realm, knowing that they will experience the Le Moyne campus setting once they’ve completed studies at Pomeroy CON,” said Dean Rhonda Reader, DNS, RN, CNE. “An additional benefit to a student is that he or she can pass the nursing licensure exam before continuing on at Le Moyne, allowing them to pursue professional employment while completing the requirements for the BSN program.”
