UPMC Mercy School of Nursing -Class of '15

U.S.A. Pennsylvania

Published

Hi AllNurses community! I have been searching for a thread for the UPMC Mercy Hospital Class of 2015, but alas; no such luck. Therefore, I created one!

I was accepted to start in August 2013 and was looking for others who were, or are looking to be accepted. I know it's early still, but I am ready to start school and secure a study group.

Now to my question: I know Mercy has a tuition contract. Does anyone know anything about it? Is it a good deal? I know they are sending information about it, but I am interested in hearing opinions.

Thanks!

Naturalgirl, the second page I got was from number 7 onwards about stethoscopes etc! That would be awesome if you coul send it to me! Thanks

Did anyone who took the test study from the Barron book or mometrix? If so which one did you find more helpful with the test? I bought them both but the mometrix is way easier than the Barron IMO

Peden...I studied from both. The mometrix book was WAY more helpful for the science portion tho.

I got the letter in the mail today for the physical And drug test, etc. We have to mail them a check then I guess we get more info on where to complete it. We can't do it until after June 15th, if I read correctly.

Hey everyone! I received my letter from Mercy today and I WAS ACCEPTED! I sent everything in last Tuesday so I was so surprised to find my acceptance letter in the mail today! It was a wonderful surprise because I just finished my finals up at Penn State main today, moved out of my dorm, left PSU for good, got home and checked the mail.. and there it was! I am so excited to meet all of you and start this journey :)

I just got my acceptance letter today!!! Does anyone know when we find out which transfer credits were accepted?

Natural girl - I know it's ridiculous.

Also, they will mail a packet that includes all the information you need about what credits will be accepted and if you need to CLEP. They will also send a packet about background checks and your physical

Does anyone know what's required in the physical. Last time I took for for a hospital I had to lift 75 pounds. I'm pregnant right now and obviously cannot lift 75 pounds. I'm wondering if I need to contact someone to let them know and/or if I can be held back to start next year because I am pregnant? If anyone has any info please let me know. Thanks. Can't wait to meet you all at orientation. We need to set a time or place to meet before hand and grab lunch or something.

I applied to Citizens in New Ken which is affiliated but it was my last choice.
