Help!! UPMC Shadyside School of NUrsing

srun21 · Feb 5, 2008

Hello,

I took the exam last year and did fine. I purchased the Nursing School and Allied Health Entrance Exam book by Arco and I looked at everything not just the nursing school section. The allied health section has good questions in it that I felt were helpful on the exam. Science will probably your toughest section unless you feel comfortable, but either way you should do fine. Just look at it a little everyday until the test and you will do great.

Hi,

is anyone familiar with LaSalle BSN Achieve Program? If so what are the pros/cons of the school.

And someone mentioned that starting salaries for nurses in Philadelpia are mid-to upper 20's...is that accurate?

Why would you start a thread in someone else's thread?

Sorry, posted in the wrong area...I think i posted in this area b/c oI noticed PA nurses chatting about schools...and I live in Pennslyvania...mistakes do happen!!!

so instead of sounding accusatory, maybe you could try a softer approach!!!

I meant no offense to you, just simply asking a question.

I like to use the serach feature unless it can't give me the answer I'm looking for.

Good luck in your search.

Hi Everyone.
Can anyone offer any in sight in regards to PSB exam for UPMC Shadyside? I want to take it in February and am extremely nervous. For the Fall '08 part time course.
I have been out of school so long, I've got myself all stressed out. I did purchase 2 of the recommended study books, but I feel like I'm missing something.
I really want this and am afraid of messing up. ( can't afford to wait for another year to start classes. Really want to start this fall!!)
I would appreciate whatever information and help you could offer! Thanks!

Hi, I took the PSB test for Shadyside at the end of Dec. Im also applying for the fall semester, but for the full-time program. It was alot easier than I thought it would be, and if you study out of the books they reccomended (those are the ones I bought as well) you should do fine. The english and math sections are very general, but the science is a little in-depth, spend most of your studying time on that part.
