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

  2. "Nursing students with C's are still nurses".. ?

    mommyjskns replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    mommyjskns replied to Aneroo's topic in General Students

    Well, good luck with it! You'll have to keep me posted on what the program is like. I guess I'd better just concentrate on getting through the next two years at Shadyside before I think about the...

    mommyjskns replied to Aneroo's topic in General Students

    You will have to let me know how it goes for you. Are you doing the classes online, or do you have to go to Chatham? I plan on moving straight into the BSN program as soon as I graduate from...

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

    My essay was 1 1/2 pages long. I am in my second year at Shadyside, and I love it. If I can answer any questions, let me know. If you did well on the psb, then I am sure you will get in. Good...

  12. Passed The Psb!! Upmc Shadyside

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

    It is a rolling admission, so once they review your file, you will hear from them. It never hurts to call, either, to ask if your file has been reviewed. Good

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

    Well that makes alot more sense.......I think everyone else on this thread hopes to go to Shadyside. I'm sorry but I can't tell you about the questions you are unsure of as they were not on my test....

  14. Passed The Psb!! Upmc Shadyside

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

    There were no nursing questions on the test. It is just an assessment of your basic knowledge.......the science is the hardest part. Get the books that they recommend and study them. You can get...

  15. Passed The Psb!! Upmc Shadyside

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

    There is a vocab section, a reading comprehension section, a math section, and a science section. They don't make you do the analytical reasoning. The test isn't all that bad. If you study for it,...

    mommyjskns replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    There are four sections: math, reading vocabulary, reading comprehension, and science. I scored a 99 on everything except science--in this I scored a 94. The science in my opinion is the hardest...

  18. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    mommyjskns replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You definitely have to pass the PSB to be admitted. I am a second year E/W student and I love the program. It is definitely alot of work, but I am really enjoying it. Good

  19. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    mommyjskns replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    It is on a rolling admission, although they wait till it is closer to the start of classes to start admitting people. Then, they continue to admit until the deadline. In my example, I took the PSB...

  20. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing - Evening/Weekend Program

    mommyjskns replied to Nadster's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yeah, there were lots of them......there were even electrical questions..........like "what is an Ohm?" If I hadn't studied for it, there is no way I would have passed it. Like I said, I had no...

  21. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing - Evening/Weekend Program

    mommyjskns replied to Nadster's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I did really well on the entrance exam. On the other hand, I studied for it for 2 months before I took it. The science section, by far, is the hardest part. They will give you a list of books to...

  22. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing - Evening/Weekend Program

    mommyjskns replied to Nadster's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    That is part of the reason I am doing this, also......I do not work now.........I stay at home with my 3 yr old, but I was an elementary school teacher, and the flexibility of the nursing hours is...

  23. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing - Evening/Weekend Program

    mommyjskns replied to Nadster's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    If you could take those classes, you would only have Micro the first semester, A/P 1 second semester, then A/P 2 summer semester. It would definitely lighten the workload for you and make it easier....
