  4. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    mommyjskns replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    No, I didn't graduate yet. I do know though that the current 200 level courses all follow that schedule. In N102, the schedule is a little bit different because you only have clinical once a week,...

  8. Passed The Psb!! Upmc Shadyside

    mommyjskns replied to megank5183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, it won't count against you. I have a woman in my class who drives in from Ohio. So I don't think that location has anything to do with admission. Just study and do well on the test. It really...

    mommyjskns replied to Nadster's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Science!!!!!!! The math is just basic fractions, decimals and some easy algebra. Reading vocab is not bad...just look over the books that they recommend. However, the science is something that you...

  12. UPMC Shadyside pre-amission courses

    mommyjskns replied to kellyjo1414's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I don't think those classes are any that would transfer. Even though you have your sciences from the high school level, you may still have to take them once you get into Shadyside. I don't think...

  13. Shadyside Hospital SON Tuition Forgiveness

    mommyjskns replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I would think that these classes would count, since they would count for your BSN if you choose to pursue it. All of the sciences are Chatham College Courses. They would definitely count. Check into...

    mommyjskns replied to osc9904's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am currently a student at Shadyside. It is very challenging, but interesting. We are given clinical time from the start of the program, and the exams are all NCLEX style. Another plus about...

    I attend Shadyside, and I love it. It is a very challenging school, but the instructors are very good and I have learned so much. Also, we get alot of clinical time. I'm not sure about Mercy, but...

    I'm totally with you on this

  20. Nursing and abortions

    mommyjskns replied to breakinglightx's topic in General Nursing

    How impressive that at your young age you are thinking this through. I am also very pro life and will NEVER assist in an abortion. No one can force you to do something you are ethically opposed to...

  24. Passed The Psb!! Upmc Shadyside

    mommyjskns replied to megank5183's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I understand, the fingerprints aren't required until you do your peds rotation. And since you guys won't be doing clinical this semester, I don't understand why they are making such a big...

  25. PSB test for shadyside

    mommyjskns replied to lmb41's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The vocab section was relatively easy. So was the math and reading comprehension. The hardest by far was the science, and it is definitely doable if you study it. Don't worry. Just take one question...
