I am going to apply to UPMC Shadyside after I take their entrance exam in May (assuming I do well enough.) The deadline for that is in June. It's very near West Penn. If I don't get in either place, I...
Good luck to you I really hope we're both able to get in. It's also my first choice. I love that place from the patient perspective, so I imagine it would be pretty good working/learning there as...
Did anyone take this and have any advice? Anyone planning to take it? I will be taking it next month and I ordered several books to help me study (which haven't arrived yet.) I've heard the science...
Thank you, that is reassuring :) Out of curiosity, what made you switch from engineering to nursing? I'm just curious as I have lots of both in my family
I'm not sure what the exact test is called, but I've heard from people who have taken it that it involves physics too, which is scary to me since I never took any Physics at all
I just wanted to thank you again for mentioning Shadyside. I've been reading alot of information on it, including opinions from former grads like you, and it seems like a really good school I hope I...
I don't know if this is helpful, but I also have PCOS and have had 3 kids. One pregnancy was even a surprise. Most women who have PCOS are able to conceive, even if they need a little bit of help....
Just wondering how many of you have kids while you are going through your pre-reqs/nursing school? Especially young ones. I am kinda nervous about doing this with two young kids, but judging by the...
I am a pre-nursing student, hoping to apply this coming year for admission into the ADN program at my local community college (would be starting fall '10, if accepted.) I need to take a Chemistry and...
I'm sure it varies by the instructor. When I was in high school and took Anatomy, it was the same thing with the labs. To be honest, both the cat and the fetal pig bother the heck out of me. The cat,...
I don't know the answer to your question, but I just wanted to say that you may have to re-take those things anyway. I know for the program I am applying for (an associate's program at a cc), if it...
I think the "eek" face says it all LOL. I think I'd rather do a pig than have to skin a cat. Thanks for the encouragement though! I'm sure I'll do fine, it's just the anticipation of it that's the...
Ahh I'm getting sick to my stomach just thinking about the smell of the formaldehyde. I remember that from high school... ick. Thanks for the tip about the Vicks, I bet that helps
Thank you for the welcome, Elvish My son was 36 weeks, 7 lb. 12 oz. My biggest baby (I had a son prior, and a daughter since then.) I didn't see him, but my husband and mother have and described him...
