  2. UPMC Shadyside 2010 hopefuls

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kbm318's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    101 came pretty easily to me; I put pretty minimal effort into studying for that course. There seemed to be a decent number of people who just didn't "get" the style of testing/questioning that the...

  3. Have you/would you refuse certain patients while pregnant

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to dawngloves's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Precautions are precautions, but it's kind of amusing (irritating) when pregnant women (or others who are around you when you happen to be pregnant, cough cough) act like pregnancy is a disability. ....

  6. Any hospital hiring new grads? anywhere in the country?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to zefutebolera's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Do you (anyone) know anything about Austin, specifically? I think that's the only place in or anywhere near Texas I could hang. .

  7. UPMC Shadyside 2010 hopefuls

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kbm318's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Definitely take Micro in advance if you can get it out of the way. Our current class is having a nightmare of a time with it. . .I hope you don't get stuck with the same instructor and, in...

  8. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing '09'

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kellyjo1414's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    No, no. . .everything BUT the science is very basic (the math and english are basic). The science is the one section I'd actually study for. If you were a bio major you should be fine, but a lot of...

  9. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing '09'

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kellyjo1414's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The PSB should be pretty simple for you if you're taking college math and english; the only thing I'd really review is the science (that's the only section that's a little higher) with a review book...

  10. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing '09'

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kellyjo1414's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Josephine: I wouldn't recommend dropping A+P 2; remember that you have to take 1 + 2 at the same institution for them to transfer. So if you drop it you're going to take 1 over again at Chatham....

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to star19129's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm trying to understand what you're doing right now, and what your options are right now. You could take a job at a hospital or doctor's office in a non-direct care field that might have tuition...

  13. very confused on how to get into a nursing school

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to pandar's topic in General Students

    You really need to look at the schools you want to go to and find out what their specific admission requirements are. If you don't even meet one of them you're out, and there's no sense paying...

  14. Cut-throad Nurses Even in the ED

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Guest343211's topic in Emergency

    Well, there you go. Looks like you dodged a bullet by not having to work with a bunch of immature

  15. Sad day in the USA

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to rickkijo's topic in Emergency

    If there were more primary care providers, particularly primary care providers who accept Medicaid, there wouldn't be as many people who were forced into the ER for non-emergencies. But, quite...

  17. Are there really hospitals that pay your tution in exchange for working there?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Students

    I'm doing that now, but we do have to pay the first $5000 (didn't use to be that way). You have to work for any UPMC (Pittsburgh) hospital when you graduate for 2 years and they forgive your

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    Same here, well, kind of. I started in healthcare jobs, and am working in a ER tech job and am starting nursing school (long-ish story) next month. So I think that it will definitely benefit me/be...

  20. How soon to apply for job?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Reese17's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I know in PA we can work well before we take the NCLEX. I'm a first year student but I already signed a contract with a hospital system that's paying for my schooling. So, that's

  21. An interesting policy

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    This is a horrible policy in regards to people who don't have medical insurance. If someone doesn't qualify for MA and has pain, there might not be a way for them to be followed by a primary care...

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kellyjo1414's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Also, I THINK I've done everything except for my drug test and my physical/ppd. I only have to do 1 ppd because I'm a UPMC employee (I just do the repeat ppd because I had the 2 part last year). ....
