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.
Orientation is tommorow?!?!? it seems as if the time from when I got accepted to now......has gone crazy fast!!!!!! I'm excited, what about everyone else? Anyone nervous?
I thought it was cool....a little weird that I have to take my nose ring out but not cover my tattoo...I'm excited though! I'm in lab 2 and clinical b what about everyone else?
I thought that was you! Lol. I'm hoping my nose ring isn't noticeable lol. That would suck to walk around with a hole in my nose lol. Ive worked in corporate places and my nose ring was NEVER an issue. I'm in clinical A
For all piercings, it's a safety issue incase someone somehow would try to pull it out while you're on clinical. It's only during clinical though, not class. Hope you guys liked orientation. See you on transition day!
I'm working on some tips for your class to help everyone out as far as getting adjusted to what nursing school is. I'll be handing them out on transition day too along with the rest of student council. My suggestion for successful studying is doing your readings, taking notes on your computer in the notes section in the powerpoints, doing an outline of the course objectives and doing a bunch of NCLEX questions. It's ALOT of work but it will payoff.
Naturalgirl I finally talked to someone about the physical and being pregnant. They said it wouldn't be a problem! So I guess as of now, I'll still be starting in the fall!
@Lindsey...yah!!! Lol. Glad you're able to start! :-) any luck on the CLEPs? I'm going to have to start giving my kids naps JUST so I can sneak in study time! Lol
