Okay I really need some opinions please, I'm so conflicted! 😭😫 My original plan was to attended a school I was accepted into starting this fall (UPMC Mercy Hospital School). I just LOVE this school so much and it seems so prefect. Except that i...

I don't have any tips, but I'm going to do the same thing this summer!! We can be study buddies together if you want!!!

Hey Everyone!! SO! I was accepting to my Nursing Program (YAY!), but my school is about an hour away from where I live. So I decided to take some courses over the summer at another school so I {{hopefully}} don't have to drive into Pittsburgh 5 days...

I'm not sure what state you live in- but in PA, you can qualify for Medicaid if you make under X-amount in the last month. I have insurance through my parents bur no one in PA accepts it because it is Wisconsin insurance. I am going to wait until I s...

Hi! I'm going into an ADN program, which is 5 days a week all day, so I made a budget where I can work only weekends (12 hour shifts) and still be okay. I made sure that all my bills (car payment, insurance, etc) were less than one paycheck a month,...

Hi!! I applied to UPMC Mercy, they all have the same admissions so hopefully this helps! I sent in my application on Wednesday, March 7th. I called on Friday the 9th to make sure they had gotten all my application materials. She told me that they ha...

Hi! I recently got accepting into UPMC Mercy of Pittsburgh. They don't really have a GPA "requirement". They moreso look at everything you submit to them as a whole. It's only a 16 month long program too (for ADN)! They also have no pre-requisites re...

From what I know they only have the RN. It's not as competitive I think because not everyone knows about it. If you want your RN i would definitely check it out! They accept applications through June 1st.

Hi!! I live about an hour and a half away from Pittsburgh (near Uniontown area). I'm not sure where you're from, if it's in Pittsburgh or what. But in Connellsville there is a good LPN school called PIHT. BUT! If you really want to become a nurse I'd...

I'm not sure about BSN programs, but I know there are some ADN programs that don't need prereq's. I just got accepted into one in Pittsburgh!

Hi everyone!! I just got my acceptance letter to school! I AM SO EXCITED TO START! I was wondering how far each of you drive to school?? The only thing that is/was holding me back is the drive into my school. I live about an hour and 15-30 minutes f...

I got both of mine from coworkers (and I've only lived here/worked here about 6 months) and I got accepted into school. They don't base everything on just the LOR, essay, GPA, scores, etc. They look at everything as a whole! So just make sure you do ...

I'm thinking I'll just suck it up and drive haha! My fiancé and I actually live with his parents right now (for free). When I calculated up the cost of rent vs cost to drive to school, it's a lot cheaper to just drive. Thank you!!

It all depends on what your program is looking at. I just got accepted to my program! I had a 3.1 high school GPA and 2.9 college GPA, and my TEAS score was 80.7%. If your school isn't too competitive I'm sure you'll be good!!!

Hi Everyone!! How many of you are working on apply to your schools currently?? I took my TEAS exam about a month ago. I submitted my application to UPMC Mercy Hospital SON in Pittsburgh. They told me it would be about 1-2 weeks and then I will be he...

I hope you get accepted too! I don't know anyone who's applied to my school, so I don't even know what to expect haha! I'm so afraid now I won't get accepted.... good luck to you as well!

Hi! Im looking into getting a ipad pro for school when I start in the fall. I was wondering if you thought it is good for clinicals too to carry with you? Thanks!!

Hi! I graduated high school in 2016 and am (hopefully) going to school for my ADN as well. I had one semester of college right after my graduation but haven't been back since. I took the TEAS and got an 80% actually! I was in the same boat as you wit...

I'm applying for UPMC Mercy Fall 2018! Do you have any tips for taking the TEAS, I'm taking it next month. Did you get accepted/ attending? Any helpful tips for applying? Thanks!!

Hi! I have recently moved to PA this year and have decided on going to nursing school. I have looked at all the schools around me (Penn State Fayette, Cal U, CCAC, WCCC, etc) I've so far seen UPMC Mercy as the best school for me (I hope!) I haven't ...
