   NursingRocks24 replied to libran1984's topic in Geriatric

   It really is a shame, and you speak the truth. I work in a nursing home and I see what goes on. I've been there about a year and a half, and over time my eyes have been opened to how much the residents suffer. On both the nursing floor and dementia u...

   I know I will. I already applied to CCAC's School of Nursing as well as West Penn Hospital's school, so I'll hear something good from one of them...hopefully!

5. CCAC Fall Applicants 2013

   NursingRocks24 replied to carbon86's topic in Pennsylvania

   That's where I failed with the PSB. I did terrible on that reading comprehension section. I just took too long, because they don't give you a lot of time for that. Also, the scores said I didn't do well on the verbal section, even though we did not h...

   NursingRocks24 replied to mc86mcd's topic in Pennsylvania

   Everyone who took Mercy's PSB on February 7th received an email about the test scores were delayed from being sent to us on time...not only is it a bummer, but definitely makes that time frame of waiting more stressful. Hopefully we'll all receive ou...

    Hi Rae2181, when is Mercy's open house? I will be taking the PSB in two weeks and would love to go to an open house and see what it's like.

    Congratulations on being accepted! I am currently submitting my application for the PSB exam and I pray I will be accepted into Mercy's program for Fall 2013. Originally I was interested in going to CCAC, and I would never say anything bad about them...
