Gain Experience in a Hospital Recognized Nationally for Nursing Excellence

Your education in direct patient care includes a wide range of clinical rotations at Mercy Medical Center, our nursing education partner. Mercy is recognized for its nursing excellence with the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) Magnet designation—a distinction held by fewer than 10% of U.S. hospitals. This makes Mercy Medical Center an inspiring environment for you to learn from experienced clinical nurse educators and interact with patients. 

Mercy will become your second home as you progress through your nursing clinical placements. Each of your nine clinical placements will lead you to practice and reflect on a critically important aspect of nursing, which involves caring for patients of all ages and in a wide variety of settings. 

Mercy Medical Center and Loyola University Maryland share a deeply felt commitment to Baltimore, a city that has been the home of these two Catholic institutions for more than 150 years. Your clinicals will incorporate ethical and social justice perspectives that you have explored in the classroom.
