Hello,

I recieved a letter from Delaware County Community College last week stating that my petition for 2010 nursing program had been reviewed and was incomplete. My official high school transcript is not on file with the admissions office.

It also states that since it was recieved after the priority deadline of October 20 2009 I will only be considered for a seat in the program if available or for placement on the waiting list. Do you think that it is worth submitting the final high school transcript and hope for a spot on the waiting list? My NET scores were not as good as I had hoped, 88 composite, 93 in Math and 82 in Reading. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for taking the time to read! ]]> PA Nursing Programs Discussion kas018 http://allnurses.com/pa-nursing-programs/need-advice-dccc-439417.html Pittsburgh may start taxing students http://allnurses.com/pa-nursing-programs/pittsburgh-may-start-439407-new.html Mon, 16 Nov 2009 18:20:00 GMT I just read this online and although it may not happen and may not pertain to every nursing school... I just read this online and although it may not happen and may not pertain to every nursing school in Pittsburgh I'm still not a fan of it.

Quote:
Pittsburgh wants to tax one of its most abundant resources: students.
The city is home to seven colleges and universities, and though their real estate is tax-exempt, their tuition isn't, says Mayor Luke Ravenstahl, who plans to impose a 1% tax on tuition as part of his budget for 2010.

Hi,

If there are any graduates or students from Northampton Community College please let me know about your experience. I'm specifically looking into their night/weekend program, but I would love to hear from any nursing student (or grads) if you are willing to share. I'm wondering how their professors are, how difficult the program is, what are clinicals really like and how long are they, stuff like that.

Thanks! ]]> PA Nursing Programs Discussion Mtru11 http://allnurses.com/pa-nursing-programs/northampton-community-college-439306.html GRADUATE NURSES FOR 2011 internship http://allnurses.com/pa-nursing-programs/graduate-nurses-2011-a-438485-new.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:33:10 GMT St Clair Hospital in Mt Lebanon Pa is offering an internship program for nurses graduating in 2011...

What schools in philly offer nursing classes at night...I am trying to research, seems like everything is
a day program. Is there anything designed for people who HAVE to work to go at night....

so far, all I have gotten is the impression that I could take all OTHER requirements at night/online but the
actual nursing classes are full-time day?

What am I missing?

I was wondering if anybody currently in the program or looking at it could give me the run down of the application process/time line. They have recieved all my info and im just waiting to hear about an interview at this point. Any general info about the process would be appreciated. I know a good deal about the program but i do not know how competative it is in terms of gpa etc, or how important having all the prereqs. ahead of time (im finishing them up during the spring).

I will be transferring from DCCC's ADN program. Do all the credits transfer over? I was looking at west chester's site and they call their nursing courses something different.

How many credits did you take at West Chester? Did you like the program? Was it expensive?

I am posting to see if anyone can tell me what the cost of UPMC shadyside tuition is? I know last year they had the price on the internet, but now I can't find anything that reflects cost! If someone could let me know what the cost is for the college courses (breakdown), and then the nursing courses (breakdown), I would deeply appreciate it. I am planning on taking some non nursing courses at community college, and maybe just A&P 1 & AP 2, and Micro at Shadyside. I am planning on doing their 4 year evening and weekend program! Any help would be deeply appreciated!

Those of you who have gone there, or are currently attending the nursing program, what are your thoughts on the class, theory, instructors, paperwork expectations, exams, etc...??? Also, what is the average gpa to get into the program? Are they looking for 4.0's or is gpa not the only thing they look at??

I am looking for a school where the instructors WANT the students to learn and be able to utilize the material covered. Not one where they want to see how much paperwork/busy work they can throw at you and still expect perfection on exams and clinical paperwork.

Any and all thoughts, advice are greatly appreciated. I've sent for the nursing program info and am going to start getting my required information together awhile.
