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!

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.

Ok I realize that some of you passed but I found the best refresher for some subjects for the exam on YouTube!

This was for DNA! This really helped me!

Most of the terms I remember but just braking it down for me was a guardian angel!

Just thought I'd share ?

I'm taking the PSB next Friday at Shadyside. I'm applying for Mercy with Shadyside as a backup. I'm a little bit nervous about the exam. Hopefully I'll do well!

Hi all,

I just applied to Mercy for fall 2013 admission. I am originally from Pittsburgh but stationed in San Diego. Since I am currently active duty Navy, I used my SAT scores instead of taking the PSB. I am hoping that I get in. How long does it take after you apply to hear back from them?

I'm not sure how long a decision on our applications take. I hope not too long! I'm SO anxious right now!

I anxious and nervous. My high school GPA was only a 2.5. But i graduated in 2004. My current college GPA is a 4.0. Hopefully they will overlook the high school grades. I plan to call them on Monday to make sure they received everything.

I hope Mercy is 2 weeks as well! I think I can do 2 weeks...2 months?? TOTALLY different story! Lol. Navydude, when did you apply? I wouldn't worry too much about your high school grades. You have college credits and you are in the Navy. I think they realize you're a different person then you were 8 or 9 years ago ;o)

I mailed my application in on January 23rd. If it only takes two weeks to make a decision, I should be hear something soon.
