  1. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    nocheapones replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I wish someone were trying to contact me. I agree, I think it's probably a good sign. I sent in all my stuff about 2 weeks ago (probably got there very close to the deadline), and I still haven't...

  2. Admission Essay needs feedback

    nocheapones replied to punkdmunkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I think the ending was good. Maybe just leave it with some mention of your goals beyond OHSU - whether it's further education or in your workplace. However, I think the beginning was a...

  3. Nursing Admission Essay

    nocheapones replied to nursefor2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wrote about my experiences as a patient (giving birth to my kids, having a stillborn, blood clots after surgery), how important the nurses were to my recovery, and how that inspired me to want to do...

  4. Who Benefits More?

    nocheapones replied to Superlost1984's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you don't mind my responding, I'm only a pre-nursing student so you can take my 2c worth a grain of salt. I would think #1 would be the answer because someone who's had a child with a neural...

  5. Things to do in case you get in?

    nocheapones posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still waiting to hear if I got into either of the two schools I applied to for this fall. I know it could be a couple more weeks, and I'm worried that if it takes, say, two more weeks, that if I...

  6. The Western Pennsylvania Hospital School of Nursing

    nocheapones posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there anyone else who applied or is planning on applying? I haven't been on here for awhile, so here's my deal: I was working on pre-reqs to apply to my community college for Fall 2010 admission....

    nocheapones replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Laura, have you heard yet? They just got the last piece of my application two weeks ago (turns out, it was okay about the Chemistry, I think they were waiting on alot of applicant's final transcripts)...

  8. West Penn School of Nursing?

    nocheapones replied to sid05's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I want to go to West Penn so bad, but am still waiting to hear. I haven't even gotten a call for an interview yet I have a 4.0 in all my college classes, had a 3.0 in high school, 1200 on SATs, had...

  9. WPH school of nursing or CCAC?

    nocheapones replied to nocheapones's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thank you so much for giving me some important things to think about. Your post couldn't have come at a better time - I'm currently enrolled in a class that is only a pre-req for CCAC (I won't need it...

    nocheapones posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ...and the natural science section was hard. I don't know if they expect you to actually know all of that stuff, or if many of those questions are supposed to be answered by looking at the options and...

  12. Took the PSB yesterday...

    nocheapones replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Liz, did you ever get your results? I got mine today and was pleasantly surprised like Kim said - 98 in vocab, 99 in math and reading comprehension, and 94 in natural science. I didn't really study...

  13. What's your long term goal?

    nocheapones posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm just curious what most of you are aiming for. Is it a diploma, associate's, bachelor's, master's, phd? I'm applying to diploma and associate's programs first because I want to be able to work...

  14. Anybody Still Waiting?

    nocheapones replied to Unique87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm still waiting. I knew it would be a long wait because admissions needed to see my final transcript for this last semester (I was taking chemistry) before they could make a decision. My transcript...

  15. Took the PSB yesterday...

    nocheapones replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ...was supposed to be skipped (sorry for the broken up message, my laptop just did some weird thing.) The science had at least one of those kinds of questions too. It was some sort of gas law, I...

  16. Took the PSB yesterday...

    nocheapones replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first section on my test was exactly same, except they had glued little pieces of paper of what would have been the Geometry questions that said "skip" LOL! It was the same thing with the bubbles...

  17. Took the PSB yesterday...

    nocheapones replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for your reply. Did you take the PSB-RN exam? The test I took had no Geometry or spelling, just a verbal/math section, reading comprehension, and then natural sciences. But the book looked like...

    P.S. Did you get in? If so, how do you like it

  20. Passed The Psb!! Upmc Shadyside

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

    Okay this is probably only of interest to myself, but the same day you were taking that test, I was down the street (at West Penn) giving birth to my daughter. Such sweet memories LOL. Okay so about...

  22. What's your long term goal?

    nocheapones replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    CRNA is also on my radar So, since you are like me in planning way far ahead, are you like me in going crazy waiting in the meantime?

  23. Who is taking A&P I in the fall?

    nocheapones replied to SassyFrass's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am. I'm still waiting to hear if I will get in to a couple of nursing programs that I applied to for this fall, but either way I will be taking A&P 1. I had it in high school, so I *think* I...

  25. The Western Pennsylvania Hospital School of Nursing

    nocheapones replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks :) That's really encouraging about the test. I have heard that the science section is kinda difficult. Did you ever take any Physics? That's what I'm most worried about, since I never have. Did...
