I am! So is my sister and a friend of hers. I can't wait.

They did not merge with Shadyside. I just got in for the August semester. I chose that school over Shadyside because they have 10 week terms which means less classes per term. And more time to concentrate on each class. I can't really tell you th...

I have decided to apply to shadyside school of nursing but am having some trouble getting information off of their site. Does anyone know when their programs start? I want to go full time, not weekend/nights. When are the deadlines? I guess I fill ...

I am going to start nursing school and I was just wondering if anyone knew the starting pay for RNs in the Pittsburgh area. I was just curious. thanks

thanks so much for clarifying that. I always wondered.

thanks for the answers. Now when you guys say it depends on what shift you work what does that mean? What are the higher paying shifts? Also, what times are the shifts and can you choose if you work a day or night shift or do they just tell you?

thank you for your help on the dates. That really helps a lot so now I can apply.

I am going to be applying for the nursing program at my community college and taking the test in February. I am scared that I won't get in so should I also apply to a UPMC school? Does anyone know anything about these schools? All I know is that y...

thanks for that option Laura. I am going to explore every option. That sounds like a good one since I would like to work atleast a little while i'm in school. What is website where I can get information on mercys school of nursing?

thank you both so much for the help. I actually emailed natalie from Shadyside but she told me to just keep checking the website. She wouldn't give me an answer as to when the programs start so your answers were a huge help. Now I know how to plan...

ok, sounds good. i am definitely going to call there and find out what i need to do to get into the program. I would rather be in a program with more clinicals than book work and i hear community is a lot of book work. Thanks again for the advice.

thank you so much for the helpful answer. im new to this board so i didnt know there was a specific place for shadyside stuff. i'll have to go and check it out. i was talking about shadyside more so than st. margarets. I dont have my sciences out...

thank you both for the helpful information. I checked out Shadyside's website and I think I may apply for their program. I am applying for the one at my local community college also because I'm afraid that I wont get into that one. I want a back u...

Thank you so much for all of your help. Do you know how I would go about applying for the Feb. program? Do you have an email address or phone number for someone down there that I could talk to? I looked on their website and couldnt find anything. ...

I am definitely going to check out the website you gave me. It sounds like a great program. I guess if I were to apply now it would be for the program that starts fall of 09, right? Good luck with your schooling.

thanks for the advice. i will have to check those schools out. the only pre req that I need for nursing is chemistry so im taking that this semester at community and then hoping to start a nursing program next fall. do you like nursing school so f...

thanks so much for the helpful response. I would want to work overnight shifts or shifts that start as early in the morning as possible. I just didnt know if that was possible to choose those. I would rather have those shifts than a daylight one. ...

Hello everyone. Im not sure where to post this because I'm new here but i thought I would try this board. I am just starting school for my ADN. I have a bachelors in psychology already. I have a few questions about jobs, etc. I know its different...

Ok, thank you so much. I will have to check their websites and see what they say. Thanks again.

ok well is there a ball park range? I know every hospital is different but I was just trying to get an idea of what the shifts would be like, etc.

I am getting ready to start nursing school next semester and was wondering if i should volunteer at a hospital. I didn't know if that would look good to school and future jobs, or if it doesn't matter. I want to eventually work in L&D or the NI...
